It is compared with several other toasters at the link. It is a great toaster. But it gets too hot to have sex with it, and the metal inside just does not seem like it would be a good thing to have sex with even unplugged. I think I will just continue to use it to make great toast.
(By the way, it is now a discontinued model, but if you found one still in stock somewhere, you might want to buy one. But it is possible that the replacement KitchenAid Pro Line toaster, which retails for even more money, is better, but I have no experience with the new one and cannot be sure.)
That is a very sexy toaster. You need to wrap it in a burqua so we won't be tempted by its lustful metal surface. (Your toaster is much nice than the cheap one I own)
It is really a great toaster. It is, by far, the best I have ever owned. It toasts more even, and more consistent, than any toaster I have ever owned before. It is also the most expensive toaster I have ever owned, even at the sale price I paid for it, which was less than half of the retail price listed in the review. And I agree with the reviewer's opinion of it:
KitchenAid Pro Line 2-Slice, $249.95
The Dualit gets all the buzz, but if I'm going to shell out an insane amount of money for a toaster, I'd go with the KitchenAid. Like the Dualit, toast doesn't pop up—you raise it with a lever that slides smoothly up and down. The idea is that the bread stays warm in the toaster until you're ready to eat it. The KitchenAid only keeps it warm for about five minutes, so I'm not sure how useful this is, but it's still a nifty feature.
The KitchenAid is a 10-pound tank of an appliance. It has no special features and no warming rack (though, as with the Dualit, you can buy an optional sandwich cage—a small cage with a handle that allows you to slip an entire sandwich into the toaster). But it consistently makes excellent, evenly browned toast. The stainless-steel crumb tray has a nice, big handle. Overall, it has a smart, pleasing design. A soft blue light tells you it's working. The numbers are printed on the side of the temperature knob so you don't have to stoop and squint to read them.
This toaster says you're serious about toast. It's a pleasure to use, and it may even be worth the money. Which is saying a lot.
