It's a Good Toaster with Modern Technology. The older toasters were simpler. I had to remind my wife when she toasts only one slice of bread to press the Single Bread Slice Button. The first time she toasted a single slice of bread without this, it burned the toast black.
The placement of the cord is strange. It is on the same end as the controls. So when I plug in the toaster the controls are away from me so I can't see them. Bad placement of cord.
Best toaster I’ve ever had! And I’ve had many in my lifetime, but this is the 1st Cuisinart. Paying a l paid more than I normally have in the past, but a friend told me about cuisinart.
