I bought one of these toasters locally as they where reduced to half price, my old toaster was needing retiring as it was burning even on the lowest settings,
The Kenwood was the best toaster I could buy for my money. First couple of days with there being a few buttons on the front I could not get my toast to brown,, then I realised, those buttons,, one was for defrosting, the other was for reheat, the key to getting perfect toast from your Kenwood is just put the dial to the setting you want and then simply press down the black button(s) for 2 or 4 slices if required.
Besides toasting bread, I have successfully toasted bagles, crumpets and bread-cakes. The more I have used my new toaster the happier I am with it. It toasts brilliantly. With this toaster it is a case of learning the individual buttons and then you are going to be making perfect toast!
Get that jam, marmalade, honey or what ever your favourite spread is and get toasting and most of all! ENJOY.....

We bought this for our new house because my boyfriend loved the look of it.
After almost six months it still looks great but the toast is still (and seems to be getting even more) shockingly bad.
We no longer have crumpets as the middle doesn't seem to defrost and the more we use the toaster the more times you seem to need to retoast everything.
DON'T BUY unless your looking for a kitchen ornament.

Kenwood is one of those names I remember when I was growing up as the epitome of expensive, high quality kitchen equipment. If you could stretch to a Kenwood it'd be fine... Quality will out..... which is pretty much why we bought this toaster. Looks the part, 4 slice capacity, setting for frozen bread.
It's rubbish. It just doesn't make good toast. It doesn't like thick-sliced bread at all; it won't stay down to toast. It's so underpowered, it dries the bread out long before it toasts it; if you like thick toast that's crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, don't hesitate any longer reading this - go buy some other make of toaster. It's odds on it'll be better.

If you like your bread baked, this is the appliance for you. Whether on for 5, 10 or even 20 minutes, your toast is guaranteed to remain un-browned. Instead, your break will come out with that perfect brittle texture due to our patented "lack-of-heat" (tm) filaments. Don't want brittle, perfectly white bread? Buy a toaster then, you're looking at the wrong item!

This toaster is honestly the worst toaster i've ever had.
Toasting takes an age, The filaments dont glow fully. One side of the filament glows, the other doesnt. it is extremely poor quality.
I only googled this review because i was looking for Kenwoods telephone number to try and send it back. It was a gift for christmas. And im afraid i'll be off to tesco's for a basic Hinari that works fine.
