KitchenAid Artisan 5KMT221EOB toaster, 2 slices, Black

The KitchenAid Artisan 5KMT221EOB is a two-slice toaster constructed with a durable metal housing. It operates with a 1100 W heating element and provides seven distinct browning levels, which are selectable via a rotary dial for precise control over the toasting outcome. The two slots are equipped with a self-centering mechanism that adjusts to accommodate breads of varying thicknesses, ensuring even heat exposure on both sides of the slice. An audible alarm signals the completion of the toasting cycle.

This appliance includes several functions beyond standard toasting. A dedicated bagel setting toasts the cut side of the bagel while gently warming the outer crust. Additional modes allow for defrosting frozen items before toasting or reheating previously toasted bread without further browning. For user convenience, a keep-warm function automatically maintains the toast's temperature, a high-lift lever raises smaller items for safe retrieval, and a removable crumb tray simplifies cleaning.
