KitchenAid KMT4117 4-Slice Toaster

The KitchenAid KMT4117 brings the brand's iconic design language to the toaster category. The rounded metal body with the signature KitchenAid stripe looks like it belongs next to an Artisan stand mixer. Seven shade settings, dedicated bagel and defrost functions, and a Keep Warm feature cover the basics well. The 5-year replacement warranty is the best in the category - KitchenAid will ship you a new one if it fails within 5 years. The high-lift lever helps retrieve small items like English muffins without burning your fingers. At $100, it's priced between budget and premium. The build quality feels slightly less substantial than the Breville, and there's no countdown display. But the warranty and design make it the best-looking toaster on the counter, and KitchenAid's reliability record is excellent.
