does it toast quickly?

It takes just over a minute to toast a piece of white bread... Wheat a bit longer and sourdough bread, even longer.

It depends upon how much you want the bread to toast. It is quicker if you like it lightly toasted. It's typical for a toaster. The size of the holes is the only issue I have with this toaster. The newer artisan breads are a little big for the slots.

Yes it does. The lever can also be raised a bit so the toast comes up some. I've not had a problem with it. I like this toaster. It toasts evenly and well, and it's nice and hot for melting butter :) I have the two-slice though but it's likely built the same way.

No. It has a bagel setting that only toasts one side, and a defrost setting.

Yes. But it is slightly smaller than the bottom, so some crumbs fall around it. Not a major problem.Also toasts very quickly, so you have to set it lower than you would ordinarily do.

no it does not. This appliance was very disappointing in all features, expected more from Kitchen Aid. My recommendation: buy a different toaster

yes it does take longer to toast. I dumped my Krups for a Hamilton Beach. It takes just as long. Disappointed !!!!!

Probably, yes. It's also a lot smaller than a microwave. We have been very unhappy with this appliance, as it takes forever to toast anything.

Not to well. It does not get stuck or fall through just does not toast well.

It makes wonderful toast! The "keep warm" function is optional. If you use the "keep warm" button, the toaster will turn off but the toast will stay down until you're ready for it. If you don't use the "keep warm" button, it toasts normally.

Yes, Meishka, the timer clicks while toasting but not too loudly . It dings once when time is up.

On average it takes 4 to 5 minutes depending on how dark and how many slices. It does a good job of toasting evenly.

It does NOT toast evenly. It toasts the top and I have to flip to get the bottom toasted.

Yes, it does. The one thing I have Noticed is that because it is a bagel toaster too, it takes longer to toast bread slices because the bread is farther away from the element. It is a great toaster.

Yes, it toasts evenly. We are quite pleased with it. The oven temp. settings seem to be accurate as well.

Even toasting is not an issue, it toasts very evenly even in bagel mode. The issue I had was finding the temp # that gave me the "doneness" I waned which was trial and error.

Yes but not well. I just do not recommend spending the money on this toaster. We bought it and got rid of it 6 weeks after buying. Just not a good product. don't let the egg poacher sway you, works but a mess to clean up.
