This toaster replaced an older Cuisinart of the same exact style. The older model still worked, but didn’t toast as fast as when it was new, and the heating coils were coated with food residue making the heating uneven. We had the older model for at least 12 years, thus I felt I could trust Cuisinart to make a reliable appliance. The new model looks great, has an easier to read darkness dial and it toasts great. We are very pleased with our replacement choice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Its ok. Manual is sparse as to what buttons like “bagel” do. Seems to toast one side of the bread more than the other. Sliding the bread closer to the center of the toaster helps slightly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the features on this 2 slice compact toaster; especially the defrost option. This works great for frozen waffles. I also like the bagel option; it toasts the bagel perfectly without burning it. I would highly recommend this product.

Great toaster, matched the other kitchen appliances. I really like the ease of pushing the lever down, it just slides down and locks, unlike the previous one that wobbled and had to be held down and operated with two hands.

Not what I expected

We have had this toaster for a year. It does not toast evenly. The top will burn and the bottom is not toasted. One side is done, the other not. We won’t be buying Cuisinart again.

We are sorry to hear your toaster has not performed as expected and understand how frustrating uneven toasting can be. Sometimes adjusting the placement of the bread or testing different settings can help achieve a more consistent result, though we understand this may not fully resolve the issue. Our Consumer Assistance team is available to provide additional guidance or discuss options at 1-800-726-0190.

The best toaster of any size I have ever had! Whether it was toast, bagel or English muffin, it was perfect every time. The added bonus was that it didn’t take up much space on the counter.
