Maybe a good one
I, like many others, have spent a ridiculous amount of time researching review comments trying to find a simple toaster that actually works. It almost seems like such an animal doesn't even exist anymore. I noted the new Krups KH732D50. Some of the older Krups toasters didn't get quite the negative reviews of other brands. I hoped that the Krups engineers may have noted the improvement needs and developed a better product. So I decided to roll the dice and order it. I've only had it about three weeks, but so far it is looking good. It actually makes nice, evenly-browned toast, consistently. It works for bagels, browning on one side only. I have not tried the Defrost or Reheat settings. The unit itself is attractive in appearance. It is light in weight, but appear solidly built. The slots fit standard commercially-available bread perfectly. They may not fit long slices or thick-cut homemade bread. The slots measure 1 in wide by 5-1/2 in long by 4-1/2 in deep. The unit...
Good toaster, does what we expect
Having lived with this toaster for a couple of months now (after spending WAY too much time making a decision), I can say we're very happy with it. Some specifics:
- the bagel feature works well -- set it for about 5.5, lower the bagels and push the bagel button. It toasts only the cut side of the bagel (you DID orient the bagel with the cut sides inward, right?).
- the reheat feature works well. If you get interrupted, or if the toast is done way before the eggs, this feature lets you reheat the toast without destroying it.
- it seems to be very well made, and looks great.
So, unless your expectations of a toaster vastly exceed mine, I'd say go for it. Or, like me, you can spend another three hours reading random comments like this while looking for the perfect toaster.
Does it's job
What can I say, it toasts bread (be it evenly, unlike the cheap one we've had since our wedding!) Good little toaster for the price!
