Hi, Has anyone used one of these? I paid A$120 for a Russell Hobbs and
it's too slow. Am considering a Kitchenaid for A$400 approx. Are they
fast? Are the elements just the same as the usual cheap ones? Would I
be paying just for "style" and "name"? Any info, stories etc
appreciated.

If you are talking about the new "pro line" of expensive Kitchen Aid
appliance, they are relatively new in the USA. I doubt there is much history
on them. Before I spent that kind of money on a toaster, I would go to the
store with some bread and ask to try it. Otherwise, I would make sure to
get the return policy, in writing, so you can return the toaster if it
doesn't perform as you wish.

If you're considering spending that much for a toaster, why not consider a
Dualit? They have a proven track record and will last practically forever.
I assume they're available in Australia. I have no firsthand knowledge of
the KitchenAid.

I had nothing but trouble with mine until it finally died. I've replaced
with a 2-large-slot T-fal and had excellent results, with better
controls.
