KitchenAid Pro Line 2-Slice Toaster, Pearl Metallic

Consistent toast
For those who cannot live without toast (and marmalade), the cost of a toaster becomes less material than the results it produces. Sure you can buy a tosater for $30, but will it treat your bread in an appropriate manner?

The Kitchen Aid Pro Line is a solidly made piece. I bought it to replace a Dualite that had for years produced spotty toast (even Pain Poulaine) and managed to consistently trap bread underneath its lifter levers. People asked how I could replace the Queen's toaster with this one - well maybe the Queen has someone selecting the good pieces of toast from the Dualite.

This is a nice toaster and if bread is important to you - worth the money.

If you want a nice looking toaster buy it, if you want a toaster that makes great toast, shop around..

I started with the coffee maker which I returned within 1 week. The maker made good enough coffee but 1) I had to pull the maker out from under my cabinets to make coffee as it released soooooo much steam and 2) as the steam rose up the side of the machine the condensation would drip down the side leaving a nice puddle of water for me to clean up. An absolute mess.

At the same time I bought the Pro Line coffee maker. From the outset it was a bit messy as whenever you pull out the glass jar, grounds fall everywhere. I forgave it that flaw as again I was swayed by the look. I realized that after having it for awhile and looking a lot closer at it that it had hairline cracks throughout the...
