    Great looking product. Bought because it matches all of our Kitchenaid appliances. Experimented making toast on three different settings. Third try the turning knob stopped working. You can turn it to your setting, let go and it returns to start. Will be returned today and no more Kitchenaid!

    I purchased a KitchenAid toaster oven November 2019. The toast operation stopped in December 2020, right after the warranty period. Now it won’t operate at all. I will never purchase another KitchenAid product. I will leave negative reviews on every site I find that has your products.

    We expect this kind of failure from a $30 toaster, not a $70 toaster. 1 year in and the heating element is already broken. Top knob will not twist, it's stuck on toast. Timer works, but the power will not come on for any other function now. Save your money.

    I bought it for my new house that was being built. I turned it on after moving in yesterday and it did not work. The power light does not come on. Now it is 3 days past the return policy and I’m screwed!

    I purchased this around black Friday of 2018. Maybe about a year later we noticed it would just shut off without warning. Now in January 2020 it'll shut off 3-5 times in one sitting. I would not recommend this product.

    Initially love this product, but it didn’t last. Within less than two years, it started giving off a foul odor and didn’t consistently turn on.
