I purchased this toaster to replace my Cuisinart which I had for many years after the it began to burn toast on even the lowest setting. This one is a lot more metal and although attractive with many settings, the lever to push down the bread is a bit difficult. Give it a strong push and wait for the click. Otherwise, it toasts nicely and evenly on all settings.
Toast comes out perfect on setting 3. For English muffins you have to place it in the toaster and certain way and put on that setting. Best toaster I’ve ever had. Sleek design looks nice enough to leave out on the counter.
After limited use our new Cuisinart toaster started to toast only one side of the toast. The center heating element wasn’t working. This is the same problem we had with our last Cuisinart toaster. Note that we replaced our previous Cuisinart toaster with the same model Cuisinart toaster.
I purchased the toaster a little over a year ago- the slider button broke off I contacted Cuisinart re warranty replacement which took a few e mails but hopefully replacement is on the way
