We’re sorry to hear about the uneven toasting you experienced. This can sometimes happen if the toaster is on an uneven surface or if the bread slices vary in thickness, so adjusting placement or slice size may help achieve more even results.

I had been without a toaster for several years and used my toaster oven without toaster results. I finally broke down and purchased this toaster and am very pleased with the toast and glad I made the decision to purchase this toaster.
I love my Cuisinart toaster. This is my second and my first one lasted for over 25 years. This is a pricier toaster. The quality sometimes beats buying cheap.
On every toaster I've ever used, the bagel setting is used to toast only one side of the bread. On this model, it still toasts both sides but adds a bit of extra time. That seems crazy to me. I can add extra time myself by adjusting the dial. I verified this in the instructions. "The bagel feature adds extra time to the toasting cycle to allow for thicker breads." I specifically looked for a toaster with a bagel function to toast only one side. It wasn't until I started using this Cuisinart that I discovered it doesn't behave that way.
Also, it doesn't include a crumb tray. You must turn it upside down and shake it. At this price point would expect a crumb tray.
Toasts unevenly!!! Significant portions are left completely untoasted on both sides too Exceedingly light in weight, not much to it. No heft to stabilize it
