This Cuisinart toaster was a replacement for a Cuisinart toaster very similar which I purchased about 15 years ago. It has been a great toaster, but it was time for a new one. It is toasting my morning bagels evenly and the size of the toaster fits well on my countertop.

It toasts, unevenly; control dial feels about to fall off. This is the third one of this model we’ve owned The first one we sent back immediately because it toasted only one side in one of the slots. Second one did exactly the same but we decided to live with it. I don’t have high hopes for the longevity of this one, but Wirecutter recommends it, all things considered.

I was hesitant to purchase a plastic toaster after my steel version that lasted 20 years. However, this little machine has been working great. Light and consistent; I'm very happy with the choice.
