I bought this toaster a month ago and I am so happy Idid.  I make my own bread, and, with most toasters the top never gets toasted.  With KitchenAid toaster they brown so nice.  I can also to bagels too.  I have owned KitchenAid mixer for 35 years but this was my first toaster.  Greatest Toaster Ever Make. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
