Toaster works well with plenty of settings. I do miss the countdown timer my old Cuisinart had. When stopping the toaster short of it's time if you try and move the lever up instead of pushing the cancel button it feels like I'm breaking the toaster.
When it works it makes good toast, English muffins etc. BUT most times it will not pop up and continue to burn the toast fill the house with smoke. It cannot be left alone for fear of burning. The eject bottom sticks. I have bought Cuisinart appliance’s before and have been very satisfied maybe this is a one off issue.
Absolutely love this toaster. It has many different settings for each kind of item you want to toast example toast, bagel, pastry, etc with wide slots and temperature settings to your desired level
The toaster is perfect because it has so many choices for toasting waffles, English muffins, bread, pastry and more. It is so easy to use and keep clean. As appliances go, it also is very attractive and a nice additional to the kitchen.
