Physically it looks good. Performance is so-so. both sides of slices do not heat evenly and the press down to start toasting does not always catch and lock the first time. I would take exception to the high rating it seems to garner but it was inexpensive.
Really nice black toaster and it toast fast, Cuisinart makes great products. I have owned the DC-3200 coffee maker in silver, copper and now stainless steel black and this is why i bought the toaster because i knew it would be great. 5 stars.
The worst toaster I've ever owned. Usually you get a few years of use before it starts producing 1/2 burnt 1/2 barely toasted toast. Seriously wondering if mine was used. This is a new low in appliances. Shame on Cuisinart.
