I want a toaster that toasts BOTH sides of the bread. Any suggestions? I hate that one side is brown and the other untoasted.

Thjr The Kalorik Toaster that I purchased was dead on arrival, did not work. Amazon refunded all monies, including shipping.

No, it toast on both sides, but it has been my experience that the inside coils gets hotter than the outside coils. I always put a bagel or English muffin with the cut sides facing the middle and they come out great. I am very pleased with toast that is a little darker on one side and I find that between 3 and 4 on the setting makes great toast, and if you use the bagel button , they come out perfect.

Make sure that you do not have it set on "BROIL" instead of "TOAST." Look at your instruction book if you still have it. It sounds as though it is broiling. Also, be sure to follow the toasting process, as to how well done you want the toast.

I found this Proctor Silex toaster oven to heat very uneven for everything. Also always felt hot from the outside... was very poorly made. I returned it and bought and Oster, toaster/convection over. A little more money but well worth it. I have it for a year now and make almost all my meals in it! Great toast too! I hope this helps.

I toast the ends of bread as well as the main slices. We only eat artisian breads and some of those are cut very thin. Actually I think the vents lower simply because you push the button, whether there is bread it them or not. I just now went to the kitchen, pushed the button with the toaster empty, and the vents lowered. When the vent was lowered, the sides closed against each other (totally) Let me add that this is the best toaster that I have ever owned in all my years of buying them. I wish I had owned one years ago. This is a great purchase.

I have not had any problem with uneven toasting. So perhaps it's uneven quality control and I got lucky! All I know is it does the job I got it for.

Yes, all sides toast. The defrost feature is good too. It defrost and toasts perfectly .

It doesn't have a toaster feature. Some broil, but I either use a small toaster (got it from Wal-Mart for about $7 a few years ago for camping) or I use a skillet on the stove and heat it up really hot and then add the bread and flip it (like tortillas being warmed) until it's as brown as I like. I figure this was only $79.99 and I shouldn't complain since I'm the one that missed that it never claimed to toast.

It makes toast much better than a toaster. I really like the way it browns it so evenly and quickly too.

I didn't know that artisan breads need to be run twice through. For the economical price it toasts very well. Sometimes it appears to take a while. But if the bread is long, you will have to cut part of it off and shorten it for it to fit. There are toasters that accommodate longer bread. Cuisanart is the most preferred toaster out there if you can afford it.

I have the 2 slot version of this toaster. The sides get only slightly warm.

I'm thinking that you might be asking about bread, like sourdough, where each slice is pretty wide? If so, Nope. I need to cut the bread in half and toast 2 pieces...sorry

I ended up throwing away my Model KMTT200OB Kitchen Aid toaster after several attempts to repair it. I'm sorry you bought one of these because it seems to me to be poorly designed and constructed. If possible, I would return it.

One side is slightly darker than the other, but it's minimal. I like my toast to be 'well-done' and when I set it on 3, it comes out perfectly toasted for me.

Well, honestly, I've never deliberately touched the sides during use. That said, I can tell you that nobody in my family has ever complained about being burned by this toaster. In fact, we use it often, like it, and I do recommend it. I hope this will help you make an informed decision.

I bought one about 2 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. It does a nice job of toasting both sides of the bread. I only wish it was all brushed stainless steel; the top is shiny chrome.

Yes! The Panasonic browns much better than the toasters I have bought over the last decade or so. You can adjust it to have your toast exactly the way you like, perfectly browned and crisp on both sides.
