ZWILLING Enfinigy, 4-Slice Long Slot Toaster, Extra Wide 1.5" Slots for Bagels and Toast, Black

After two years of toaster frustration, I've finally found a winner in the Zwilling Enfinigy Cool Touch Toaster. In the past two years alone, I've purchased a Black+Decker ($40) and a Cuisinart ($80), both of which promised even toasting. Both failed miserably. The Black+Decker was a complete hit-or-miss, burning one side while leaving the other pale. The Cuisinart, while slightly better, was still inconsistent, and definitely not worth the doubled price tag. I was ready to give up on the perfect slice of toast. Then, I decided to take a chance on the Zwilling Enfinigy. I was hesitant given the price point, but the reviews were promising, and I was desperate. And let me tell you, it delivered! The Zwilling toasts perfectly, every single time. I've used it for everything from thin slices of sourdough to thick bagels, and the results are consistently golden brown and evenly toasted. No more burnt edges or soggy middles! What I particularly appreciate is the simplicity of the design. The single knob adjustment makes it incredibly easy to dial in the perfect level of toastiness. No complicated settings or confusing buttons. Just a simple, reliable toaster that does its job exceptionally well. Pros: Even and consistent toasting. Simple, intuitive one-knob operation. Cool-touch exterior (a nice safety feature). Sleek, modern design. Cons: A bit pricier than other toasters. If you're tired of toasters that underperform, I highly recommend the Zwilling Enfinigy. It's an investment, but it's worth it for the consistently perfect toast. I'm finally enjoying my morning toast again!

I approached this rather expensive toaster with some hesitation. I'd had a Hamilton Beach for a decade that gradually failed to toast one side adequately, and then one day quit altogether, unless I was willing to hold the handle down through the entire toasting process. I read hundreds of reviews of other toasters, and so many shared my big complaint: One side browns, the other doesn't. Or, if you like your toast toasted, one side toasted and the other burnt. Ugh. I figured that if it took some more coin to find a toaster that consistently browned both sides as the setting indicated, it was cheaper over the long run that experimenting with a bunch of $20 disappointments. And in the comments I'd found online about this one, it toasts both sides about the same. Amazon had the best price, and Amazon always makes shopping easy. So, I plunked down the dough and went for it. And it's been soooo satisfying! My toast is beautifully, evenly browned with no burnt edges, no squishy places, just terrifically reliable toasting. It works great for English muffins too. It gives great chewy with crunch there. The toaster itself is beautiful. Understated, it blends in and compliments the rest of the kitchen like a nice piece of jewelry with a LBD. It's easy to clean, and the drawer type crumb tray doesn't flop open and deposit your crumbs across the counter or floor like the hinged types. It doesn't make that loud heart attack pop noise when the toast is up, so you need to glance at it occasionally while making the rest of your breakfast. It keeps your toast well until you're ready to grab it. The extra long cord is a nice feature, too; sometimes, counter space is iffy; and some toasters offer cords so short it's difficult to get them out from under upper cabinets. This one offers lots of range for movement. It's solid and distinctively beautiful. And long after I've forgotten what I paid for something, I live with how well it works in my life. Do I love it? Does it work for me? Does it make my life a little easier, a little better? Yep. It's just a toaster. But it does the job with real excellence.

For 2 years, this toaster worked well. Even toasting on both sides, easy to use, consistent performance. At 2 years and 1 month of ownership, it began partially toasting a slice of bread. Not good enough! When it worked, it was the one to beat. It would appear that longevity is an issue. Disappointing considering the price.

After 20 years my reliable Magimix died. Any follow up toaster would have a tough act to follow. The Zwilling is nice enough. Takes up less space on the counter. It’s good looking. The slots are wide enough. It doesn’t toast evenly but not bad enough to return. Why not purchase a new Magimix, you ask. Many of the complaints stated the pop up knob quit working. That’s what happened after 20 years to me. Why buy a new model for a same issue in less time. I don’t think you’ll regret the Zwilling.

This is the best toaster we have ever owned. So far, we have used it to toast bread, bagels, and English muffins. It takes a little (actually a lot) longer for the items to toast but they toast perfectly. It's well worth the wait. I make my expresso while I'm waiting for the toaster to finish doing its thing. The black toaster looks great on our black granite countertop so no reason to put it away after using it. It's easy to clean too.

Disappointed. From the beginning one side browned more than the other. Now not even 2 years later my cancel button doesn’t work either. For $200 this thing should be built much more sturdy. I’ve had a basic toaster for over 10 years and my parents had theirs 20 years both from a particular brand. I wanted to give this brand a chance and I am so. Sorry that I did. Despite the brand popularity the quality is low. I bet they spend about $5/ unit to have these hunks of junk made.

This is more money than I’ve spent on a toaster before and I’ve never been happy with any toaster I’ve had. They were all unreliable and inconsistent. I’m not a toast snob but I do enjoy toast and I’d like it to come out the same way each time I make some. Was that too much to ask? I have found my nirvana! Excellent product, great warranty (5 years) Happy at last.

We've been on the hunt for a good toaster for a while. I don't mind spending money on a good one but it has to be good. If it's no better than a cheap one why spend more. A friend bought this toaster and tested it with an entire loaf of white bread. Even perfect toasting on both sides every time. This is a great toaster that is worth the money. As a picky person I give it my endorsement.

Sorry Zwilling but loses a star when the unit out of the box does not work properly. The two outer grills would not heat up. Luckily it was still in warranty, and I had a nearby Zwilling store. So this is why it gets 4 stars (not 3) as the warranty was readily honored as it was under one year old and they replaced the unit completely (I had only used it for a week or so). Now hopefully the new one works as it should as it is a nice looking toaster.

After 5 months of use, the lever to put the toasts down became extremely hard to pull down. My kids are not able to use the toaster anymore. I contacted their customer service but they are asking to send the defective unit (I have to pay for the return) and then they will send me a replacement after 4 to 6 weeks. So I would have to buy another toaster while I wait for a replacement. I will just buy another toaster instead of paying shipping for a damaged toaster.
