Great Features

Individual controls are great. Easy to keep clean. The design is retro yet contempory. All these nice features and it makes great toast, English muffins and bagels, too! Had previous experience with Krups, so I expected nothing less and definitely got it.

Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black
This is an amazing and easy to use toaster. I would recommend it in a heartbeat. So far no problems although I have only had it for about a month now. I purchased a Krups toaster oven before this and found it did not toast near as good this toaster.So if you are just needing a toaster and not an oven this is the best bet.

Good-looking and reliable

Beautiful toaster! We got it a few weeks ago. Besides the fact that it is GIANT, it toasts evenly, nicely, and it has an extra function to toast croissants and other pastries by just putting them on top.

I am very happy with it. My husband thinks it takes too long to toast.

Works Well, but Openings Too Short

Bottom Line: If you like Oroweat breads or breads that are just a tad bit longer than the store brand's, stay away from this toaster. Otherwise, it works great. Read on for details...

After our last toaster died, I wanted a 4-slice toaster because we have 3 kids and a 2-slice toaster just doesn't cut it. I looked at many toasters and narrowed my selection down to the Krups FEM4B and the Kitchen Aid KMTT400 series. They both had pretty good reviews and I decided to get the Krups because it was less expensive. I initially had an issue with one of the toaster's bagel buttons which would stay on for the right set of controls and it would not turn off. So we couldn't use the right side for a while. Eventually it worked itself out and now works just fine and the bagel button works like it should, not sure what happened and was close to returning it.

Besides that little hick-up, the toaster works great and we've had it for almost a year (purchased end of July '07). It toasts evenly and is easy to operate. The *problem* I have with the toaster is that the openings for the toast just aren't long enough. You don't see specifications on the openening lengths. Toaster companies will talk about how wide they are if they can hold bagels just fine (like this one) but no mention of length. The openings are exactly 5 inches long. If you like deli sized breads or breads like Oroweat, they have a hard time fitting in the toaster and you have to shove them down. It's very annoying. If you stick to the store brand sized breads, then you won't have a problem. Next time I buy a toaster I'm going to go to a store, and measure the openings before purchasing. I wouldn't buy this toaster again because of that issue. If Krups comes out with another 4-slice toaster that has longer openings, then that would be a clear winner. As it is, if you like Oroweat breads or breads that are just a tad bit longer than the store brand's, stay away from this toaster.
