hi guys this is Brian Bennett for seen it and right now we're taking a look at the KitchenAid for slice manual toaster toaster certainly haven't changed in the last 50 or 60 years but a crop of new devices is trying to spice things up in this otherwise stagnant product category by adding all sorts of snazzy features and design elements this appliance comes in this really wild looking retro 1950s almost automotive style up top you have these wide slots so you can put in very thick slices of bread and you also have four so it can toast for a time up front is a digital display which lists how long you could have to wait until toast time you also see how much toaster power is engaged you have anywhere from level one to seven and you can also see what preset toasting function is engaged you get things like bagel reheat or defrost the KitchenAid for sliced manual toaster is a little bit pricey it costs 109 dollars so that's a bit of a detractor especially if you can just pick up a regular toaster for about forty five dollars this toaster is also pretty big and heavy its wide its deep it weighs about nine pounds and it's made out of stainless steel so it's definitely gonna take up a lot of room on your countertop another thing I don't like off too bad about this toaster is that even though you get a crumb tray in the back it does have a tendency to collect crumbs inside the actual slots themselves which don't actually make it down to the tray the most I would say annoying thing about this device is that it takes a while to toast your bread and for a toaster that's kind of a that's a bit of a problem essentially this toaster is pretty good but for 109 it's a bit pricey so if you want something that toaster bread a little faster I suggest checking out a toaster from Elise Eve or even kitchen aids own Pro Line 4 slice toaster I'm Brian Bennett for CNET appliances be sure to read this and other toaster reviews at cnet.com
