4 out of 5 stars krups toaster   July 1, 2008
David F. Griesel
It mostly works very well. The only problem is that the left defrost button sticks, but as that feature is not used, we will live with it.
The lift feature is nice and eliminates the use of wooden tongs to get
short pieces out.



4 out of 5 stars Hope we've finally found "the one"   June 21, 2008

Finally a toaster that toasts bread, muffins, bagels evenly. It takes a little longer than previous toasters, but worth the time. Love the way when it's done that you can raise what you are toasting with just a turn of the handle and it stays put. Haven't tried the pastry warmer that's on top yet. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we've finally found "the one" after years of trying toasters!


5 out of 5 stars Great Features   June 19, 2008

Individual controls are great. Easy to keep clean. The design is retro yet contempory. All these nice features and it makes great toast, English muffins and bagels, too! Had previous experience with Krups, so I expected nothing less and definitely got it.


3 out of 5 stars Works Well, but Openings Too Short   June 7, 2008

Bottom Line: If you like Oroweat breads or breads that are just a tad bit longer than the store brand's, stay away from this toaster. Otherwise, it works great. Read on for details...

After our last toaster died, I wanted a 4-slice toaster because we have 3 kids and a 2-slice toaster just doesn't cut it. I looked at many toasters and narrowed my selection down to the Krups FEM4B and the Kitchen Aid KMTT400 series. They both had pretty good reviews and I decided to get the Krups because it was less expensive. I initially had an issue with one of the toaster's bagel buttons which would stay on for the right set of controls and it would not turn off. So we couldn't use the right side for a while. Eventually it worked itself out and now works just fine and the bagel button works like it should, not sure what happened and was close to returning it.

Besides that little hick-up, the toaster works great and we've had it for almost a year (purchased end of July '07). It toasts evenly and is easy to operate. The *problem* I have with the toaster is that the openings for the toast just aren't long enough. You don't see specifications on the openening lengths. Toaster companies will talk about how wide they are if they can hold bagels just fine (like this one) but no mention of length. The openings are exactly 5 inches long. If you like deli sized breads or breads like Oroweat, they have a hard time fitting in the toaster and you have to shove them down. It's very annoying. If you stick to the store brand sized breads, then you won't have a problem. Next time I buy a toaster I'm going to go to a store, and measure the openings before purchasing. I wouldn't buy this toaster again because of that issue. If Krups comes out with another 4-slice toaster that has longer openings, then that would be a clear winner. As it is, if you like Oroweat breads or breads that are just a tad bit longer than the store brand's, stay away from this toaster.

Beautiful toaster! We got it a few weeks ago. Besides the fact that it is GIANT, it toasts evenly, nicely, and it has an extra function to toast croissants and other pastries by just putting them on top.

I am very happy with it. My husband thinks it takes too long to toast.
