"Krups Toaster Working Well"
Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. If you follow the directions and experiment with the settings the product will work as designed. No toaster is perfect. If anyone ever finds one or invents the perfect toaster, let me know, because I would like to market that product and get rich. I have found the defrost and bagel settings to be very useful. Received the toaster in minimum shipping time and it has been working great since we took it out of the box. Would definitely buy this brand again.

"good but not perfect"
The Krups 4-slice toaster looks nice, and we had high hopes for it. But two of the slots only toast one side of the bread, and 3 out of 4 slots don't toast evenly, making stripes on the bread. And if this is a fast toasting item, I guess my expectations are way too high. It takes a long time to toast even at a medium setting. It does toast bagels nicely, though. I guess you have to go really high-price to get a toaster that will toast perfectly.

"somewhat disappointed"
We ordered this toaster because it had positive reviews. We didn't NEED a new toaster but the last few we owned never toasted the bread evenly and we had to raise and lower the toast two or three times in order to get some semblance of evenly toasted bread. The reviews said this toaster solved that issue but we found it only partially solves it. We still find ourselves checking the toast, repositioning it, and pushing it down a second time to get evenly toasted bread or English muffins. It is an improvement over those we owned previously but not the total solution we expected.

"krups toaster"
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.

"Hope we've finally found "the one""
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!

What our customer's say!

"Toaster Review", This is a great toaster. Great with bagels. Lever won't stay down if toaster isn't plugged in which is a good thing if it has to stay out on the counter with kids around.

"Disappointed", Not much to like about this toaster. It arrived dented. Slots are not long enough to fit a slice of bread unless it is the old fashioned size. Toasts unevenly, comes out with brown stripes. Big and bulky. If all you toast are bagels and english muffins, it is adequate. Definitely not worth the money. Wish I had purchased the Breville.

"Toast the way it should be!", This is a very fine toaster. It accomodates different kinds of bread and bagels and english muffins. The warmer surface on top is a great bonus. Easy to clean and use. Excellent product.

"Epic toaster", A fine toaster; a wondrous toaster. Cecil B. DeMillie should make a movie about it. This toaster will change your life.

"So far, so good.... = )", Great Anniversary present for my husband. He loves tools and this is quite the kitchen tool!!!

** My old toaster you had to turn the control way up to get brown, this one you turn it a little past the halfway mark.

** Longer bread like Healthy choice, sticks up a little bit, ibut it still gets toasted.

**Love the lifter for english muffins, no more unplugging and doing whatever means to get the toast out!

**Love the top part for heating up buns, etc.

Only complaint ~ Which is for all 4-slice toasters is they are much bigger than they used to be, but this toaster is impressive looking!!

Looking forward to trying the rest of the features! Enjoy....

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great Features", 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.

"Works Well, but Openings Too Short", 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.

"Good-looking and reliable", 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.

"Krups toaster", Does NOT toast evenly and tends to burn in spots.
Dissapointing for this Brand.

"the best toaster", Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black
This is an amazing and easy to use toaster. I would recommend it in a heartbeat. So far no problems although I have only had it for about a month now. I purchased a Krups toaster oven before this and found it did not toast near as good this toaster.So if you are just needing a toaster and not an oven this is the best bet.
