Question: I notice the wattage is only about 2/3 that of other toasters. Doesn't this make for long toast times?
Document: I suppose I've owned 3 toasters in my adult life. Not one of them has EVER taken so long to do what I thought was a pretty easy task - toast bread. This is a fail, on several levels. Avoid.
First thing you need to know is that this is a serious toaster. If you need a toaster just every now and then - like 2 times a month - it might be too much. But if you have kids who need toast, bagels, waffles, etc on a daily basis, then look no further. It's big, it's good, it heats evenly with no muss or fuss. We've had good toasters in the past but this takes the cake.
Actual measured T-fal wattage was 15.0% to 18.4% more. Actual toasting time was 15-20% faster in my tests. (2.5 minutes vs 3.0 minutes for light toasting of cheap white bread, fresh & moist).Note 3: Weight - Krups is 5.0 lbs vs T-fal 7.4 lbs. (3 lbs.
We have two adults and 3 children in our household, so when we make a meal that includes toast having a 4 slice heavy duty toaster is a must to cut down time and help make sure the first batch is still warm by the time the last one is done. I usually just make toast, but this unit has many other options and very large openings capable of accommodating even the largest bread or bagels.
We LOVE this toaster. Another reviewer commented that it takes longer to make toast, and I would have to agree with that assessment. However, it's not such a big deal as to be a deterrent or inspire me to give it a lower rating. Use the extra time to make a pot of coffee or something. :)There's a funny smell from the burners when using the toaster for the first few times, but it does fade. We've made several slices of toast and each one has come out perfectly.
We had this toaster 2 weeks and use it every day, it does a great job, I have it set on number 3 setting and it makes perfect toast both sides brown even. I also use it to defrost my frozen waffles and they turn out good. Very pleased with the product.
Really attractive toaster to leave out on your counter. Makes nice toast-I have yet to burn any since getting it, which is amazing! The only drawback is that it is noticeably slower than other toasters I have had. Takes an average of about 3 minutes, so when you are standing there staring at it and waiting, seems like forever!
I heard this is an issue with the T-fall as well so I guess either way I would have had a problem. The wattage on this one is lower than the a T-fall. A fact I didn't know about until I had already ordered this one. Result: its slow. It takes a good five minutes or so to get your toast back. I haven't timed it, but it feels a little slower than the garbage that was toastmaster. While making breakfast for myself I hardly notice it.
The toaster looks great, however it took a lot longer to toast than any other toaster I ever had. The last two toasters I had were cuisinart and I decided to try something else because those toasters didn't toast evenly on both sides. Even including the time spent flipping the pieces in the cuisinart, that was nothing compared to how long this Krups toaster took to brown the bread, albiet evenly. I couldn't get used to how long the toaster took (e.g.
For most toasting I have been using the 2 1/2 browning setting as it seems to do the best job without burning toast or pop tarts.I think the toaster looks nice and can be a nice addition to your kitchen and is about same size as most 4 slot toasters. I gave it four stars only due to the price. This toaster does the same job as my cheaper toaster but does look a littler nicer.
Answer: I haven't noticed that it takes longer. But now that you say that my toast has never burnt. I even used it for bagels and it toasted fine.
