I decided to upgrade to a 4 slice toaster when my trusty 2 slice toaster gave up the ghost recently. I’m very pleased with this new addition to our kitchen. While it does take up more room, the sacrifice in space has definitely been worth it. This toaster is straightforward in design, easy to use, and toasts bread very nicely. PROS: Adjustable browning for each set of two slices Multiple settings for bagels, pastry, frozen, etc Handle lifts to raise bread higher so you don’t have to dig for smaller items like English muffins. Even browning Fast. This is entirely subjective on my part, but this toaster delivers a nicely browned piece of toast MUCH faster than my old toaster (a higher end toaster from another company).
CONS: Slight amount of slack in browning selector knobs No nothched guide in the back/bottom to keep the cord in one place.
All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase. I even ordered the two slice version of this toaster for my mom. She loves hers as well.
We got new appliances and I replaced my old toaster too. I chose this model first for the look and style and second for the features. Love the wider slots for thicker bread or bagel and features including defrost. Plugged it in and first slices of toast were perfect! Very satisfied!
I've had this toaster for about a month, so have used it about 6 times. I like the settings for defrost and bagels . Cuisinart is a good brand so I'm hoping this toaster will last several years, unlike other cheaper brands that have failed in the past.
