KitchenAid KMT2116 2-Slice Long Slot Toaster
KitchenAid
Its case rests on the only 2-slice toaster in this roundup with true 12-inch long slots, fitting baguette slices standard toasters can't and die-cast housing feels substantially more solid than the stamped-metal budget competitors.
- 12-inch long slots for baguette and sandwich-loaf slices
- 1.3-inch slot width
- 5 toast settings plus bagel, reheat, and defrost
- Die-cast metal housing
- Available in matching KitchenAid stand mixer colors
Pros
- The only 2-slice toaster in this roundup with true 12-inch long slots, fitting baguette slices standard toasters can't
- Die-cast housing feels substantially more solid than the stamped-metal budget competitors
- Color options let it match a KitchenAid stand mixer or other small appliances
- 5-setting dial is simple and reliable, with dedicated bagel and reheat buttons
Cons
- Fewer reviews (2,200) than most toasters in this list, a smaller sample to judge long-term reliability
- Priced closer to the Breville than to the mid-range Cuisinart options, a premium mainly for slot length
- 1.3-inch width is adequate but not as wide as the Breville's 1.5 inches for very thick bread
