The KitchenAid name is almost synonymous with quality. Best known for their iconic stand mixers, the brand has expanded into a range of other kitchen appliances. I was very skeptical at first, because it's all too easy for a company to slap their brand on a sub-par appliance and coast on their reputation, but a lot of the newer KitchenAid products have lives up to the long shadow cast by the stand mixers.
I could not wait to get my hands on the KitchenAid Manual Lift Toaster. Whilst I have enjoyed testing some of the most technical, best toasters on the market, there's nothing quite like returning to the American-made basics. That's exactly what this stainless steel toaster offers: durability, simplicity, and reliability.
