Works nicely. Annoying beeping on start. Annoying beeping on finish.
Toaster looks good.
It toasts evenly.
Automatic lowering / raising of toast works well. The sides then push in to centralise the toast.
Only downside is that the toaster makes a very loud beep when you start toasting.
And then the same annoying loud been when it finishes. It can be heard through the whole house early in the morning.
I am tempted to find the beeper and just disconnect it or stick some chewing gum over it.
Stainless steel version not that easy to clean. I would opt for the enamel / plastic varieties instead.
Was hoping for top notch quality considering price. It's definitely better than average but probably not worth the price.

Not Impressed
Bought this toaster nearly 3 years ago and at the time thought it could be better at toasting, considering the price tag, then it actually was! I now find it is starting to play up, I'm having to turn it off at the power because the toast gets stuck and not toasting and pressing the cancel button does nothing. It eventually decides to work but for how long? I wont be purchasing a Kitchenaid Toaster again, the quality just isn't there.

Works well - when it works that is...
Have been a big fan of commercial grade products for a retail market, hence why I always weigh up KithenAid. HOWEVER, apart form their stand mixers and hand blenders & mixers, it seems they are dabbing into other appliances and unfortunately is going to tarnish reputation. Have had this toaster for about 2.5 years and have to admit I only used it rarely. Now, the left hand side failed to work. Lowers bread and raises straight back up. Repeats this about three time then holds the bread down. Have to turn off the unit and back on to release the b...Read more
read. Very inconvenient if you already have the other side going. Now, it just trips the circuit. Seems to be many others with same issue. Always these issues appear just out of warranty. Premium price for something I would expect for an average price quality. Same goes with their Artisan 1.7L Kettle but that is a whole other story Have invested a lot of money in KitchenAid and starting to realize it is starting to become a gamble...Purchased at Myer for $250.00.

Terrible toaster
Terrible, it regularly over heats and burns toast even though its kept on a medium setting. If you use it twice in a row the toaster over heats considerably and blackens toast.

Great Toaster, We Love it!!
After spending hours on product review sites and YouTube, we decided to go ahead with 4 Slice Onyx Black Toaster.
Let me tell you something, I am glad we ignored many comments about "very loud beeps" and "uneven toasts", this toaster is just perfect for us. Beeps are very reasonable, in fact very helpful to alert when my toast is ready.
So far, every single toast came out perfect, all very even. We love the option of adjusting left and right slots shading independently.
In addition, the toaster looks very elegant in our kitchen and we now decided to buy a matching kettle.
My only concern, we cannot find Pro Line Kettle in Glossy Onyx Black in Australia and hope it will be available sooner rather than later?
Purchased in July 2021.

Kitchenaid is the best
Take my money! I love kitchenaid so much. I was so impressed with this toaster it just feels so fancy! Love how you can change the toastiness for each slice and it beeps when ready! It looks awesome and impressive to have out on your bench.

Underrated by consumers
Firstly, let me state I read the reviews prior to purchase. Even went so far as watch a YouTube clip on the toaster. I understand everyone has something that bothers them ie. noisy-beeping when toast is ready or too long on timing.
Anyway, after much deliberation, we purchased the Artisan, in the silver colour, been using it for a few months now. This has become a major appliance in our home. It looks great, makes perfect toast and does crunch. The advance technology of placing bread/crumpet crookedly, the slices are caged in and straightened. ...Read more

Great toaster!
Awesome toaster! Allows you to toast two sets of two pieces. Remembers settings and easy dial-up display. Beeps when the toast is finished and the keep warm function is very practical. A huge unit though, you need quite a bit of bench space for this to sit on. Would recommend.

Outstanding Warranty Response
Obviously never good when a product fails, but it happens. Ours had a fault and was tripping the RCD. A pain, but their response was brilliant. A call to the support number (we'd registered it upon purchase) and they told us we'd get a new one to replace it.
This was New Years Eve, and we had the replacement by 4th January. Didn't want the faulty one back and never questioned that it was faulty.
I would buy KitchenAid again just because of this experience.

Bought matching toaster and kettle
I bought the kettle and toaster at the same time and I am very happy with the products. Some reviews are I believe are over critical, though some models may have a design fault they are generally rectified. This applies to anything you buy. My only criticism is being unable to register the products on-line, it wouldn't recognise my address and insisted I had the wrong serial number of the kettle.

Worst toaster ever!!!
We toast crumpets, Italian bread, sour dough bread, turkish bread, sliced bread-none of the settings work well, either it does brown enough or it burns, we have had the toaster for over 6 months, have tried every setting to no avail. We are very disappointed and think fondly of our last toaster, a fraction of the price and toasted well, we had wanted a bigger toaster so bought this one- it has put me off Kitchen Aid for life!

Very good toaster
I am very satisfied with my Kitchen Aid toaster.
After reading so many reviews on this site about so many toasters, there did not seem to be any toaster that was highly recommended. I could not imagine that there are so many bad toasters in the world!
I was completely at a loss which toaster to buy, and I was not prepared to pay $300+ . After weeks of deliberation I decided on this one, and much to my relief it’s a winner.
my only adverse comment is that it is slow to toast crumpets. Apart from that I am very happy

great toaster but the overly loud beep makes this impractical for us
after reading many reviews of toasters, we were convinced that the KitchenAid KMT423 was the perfect toaster for us. the toaster toasts perfectly but the loud and unnecessary beep to announce the toast is going down and then again o announce the toasting has finished, is annoying and disruptive. If you are a shift worker or have a baby sleeping don't get this toaster - it wakes everyone. I emailed KitchenAid on 12/9/18 and received an auto response that we would be contacted within 10 business days (Your Contact Reference Number is KAU CS 93...Read more
5) This hasn't happened. My enquiry was, how to I disable the unnecessary beeping - I presume you can't thus the no follow-up from customer service. Our other KitchenAid appliances Mixmaster KSM1500 and KitchenAid Blender have been faultless in performance and results. So KitchenAid products are generally extremely good quality. Our issue with the toaster is that we were not advised by the sales consultant of the loud beeping and it is not detailed on the packaging, otherwise we would have steered clear. Why there is a loud beep, twice for each operation, is the question. If the toaster toasts expediently, why would a designer want to remind the operator that the toast is going down and now it is coming up again. A totally unnecessary 'feature'? in my opinion2 comments

Love it!
I love my toaster. It's easy and modern, I use fresh or frozen bread, crumpets,... Settings are easy to work with. Fully automatic, so bread goes down and up on it's on. Beep sounds when ready. My bread comes evenly toasted and it's efficient. It's very easy to clean as well. I'm happy with it and would recommend.

Worst toaster ever!
This toaster doesn’t toast unless you put it it at least 3 times and make sure you have lots of time you have to wait forever, crumpets that’s at least 30min it’s ridiculous you pay a lot of money because you think it will be decent forget about it it’s usless go get a toaster from Kmart it will probably be a lot better!

Disappointing
This toaster is turning into one of the biggest disappointments of my life!! Very picky about my toaster and thought I'd do the right thing and buy a 'good one'! Toast takes ages to cook however and often it is unevenly toasted when apparently its ready. Have to have it on setting of at least 6 as otherwise nothing happens to the bread......You can forget about crumpets - who has an hour to waste to get the right level of toasting! The heating elements seem ''uneven" in that one side is often 'redder' than the other....... very close to putting...Read more
it in the cupboard and bringing back the old 'trusty'' which was much cheaper and produced a superior piece of toast! Really hoping my toaster is just faulty and this model can in fact produce great toast and crumpets!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hands Down Best Toaster Ever
Had toaster for a week. Makes perfect toast and calls you when its ready. Simultaneously toasted crumpets one side and toast on the other. Works fine and then turns itself off if unused.
The crumpet mode requires 2 cycles of toasting, but tell me what toaster has ever got the crumpet mode down to one toast cycle.
For toasting bread it cant be beat. Crumpets on the second toasting cycle are perfect by the way!
