It is much faster than my previous toaster, but my main use is for english muffins which come out dark to underdone across the muffin surface. Also, toast are darker on one side. Which slot is for "single slice"?
Overall function of the toaster is good. It browns toast evenly. I like the different function categories. The crumb tray could be a little more sturdy. Slots could be a little longer and slice pop up could be a little higher.
We are quite satisfied with this new Cuisinart 2-slice toaster. It performs as advertised. Handles various toasting tasks as advertised. The toasting of frozen items w/the defrost function has performed well! My only suggestion for this toaster would be to add a bell or sound when the toasting cycle is complete. Otherwise a nice product!
Simple toaster, works well, looks sleek. One problem so far: although it has a bagel setting, the bagels we get don't fit in the slots. Well, they fit, but only just so. I have to push each slice down and then, when toasting is done, force-eject them by hand. Otherwise, good, basic toaster.
