It toasts unevenly and burns the bread. I have yet to figure out what setting will work for a single slice of bread because it burns so badly. On an uneven "nooks and crannies" English muffin the edges burn. The house smells of burnt food whenever I use it. My other alternative is to set it at "2" and toast multiple times, watching it all the time. Also, the dimensions said that it was 7" tall. This was important because I have an under the cupboard mounted coffeemaker. It's actually 7 1/4" tall, which means it drags on the appliance above it. It looks nice and cools down rapidly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very good toaster. The only reason I gave it a four star rating is that when toasting a single slice (in either slot) one side of the bread gets fully toasted but the other side not so much. No problem with two slices.

We owned an earlier version of this Cuisinart toaster. For many years it functioned just fine. Recently it started to put off some funny smells while operating. Cleaning the crumbs out did not really help so we decided to replace. Looking at all the options we chose Cuisinart again. This time I actually read the instructions and learned that if you select "bagel" setting it adds extra time to English muffins and wheat bread eliminating the need to toast for two cycles. It seems this new model does toast more evenly, too. If this lasts as long as our previous model Cuisinart toaster, it will be a bargain.
