The toaster has settings that match the type of pastry to the wanted level of browning and is even on both sides,pops up to a level you don’t get burned taking toast out.Very pleased-what I expect from the Cuisinart brand.
It's fine. Nothing to dislike about it except that its maximum useful life will be about 5 years due to the material and thickness used for the heating element in the modern age. The days of a reliable, long-lasting toaster are long gone. Which stinks. At least it's fully recyclable, unlike the plastic models.
Good toaster with good options. The reason I took away a star is because the singe toast feature only browns one side of the bread. same with waffles- only the outer side gets heated unevenly in the single toast feature.
