I purchased this toaster a couple of weeks ago for my father. His old toaster was too small for the bread he was using and it seemed it wasn't toasting properly. My father loved it from day one. He says it toasts much more evenly and quicker that his previous toaster, and no more having to stuff the bread into the toaster.
It is a cheap, basic two-slice toaster you can use for bagels, defrosting and reheating, and with a sleek design.
I want to give it a five-star rating, it does everything Cuisinart said it would and looks good doing it, but the toaster will have to be functional for at least five years before that happens.
For those consumers who find evenly toasted bread boring and predictable, this toaster is for you! There’s no telling how much Cuisinart spent on research and development to make a toaster that only toasts on one side. It’s not really a problem, except for the burned fingers, if you interrupt the cycle and flip the slice halfway through the toasting process.
