It's a toaster. So far it does what I bought it to do. The white shows everything but it was reasonably priced. I wasn't willing to pay eighty buck for stainless. This will do.
I like this toaster but find using the defrost setting to toast frozen waffles gets the waffles burned on the edges no matter how low I set it. Other than that, it works fineI would've expected a toaster from Cuisinart to defrost frozen waffles better than it does. If there is some trick to get it not to burn the edges, I would like to know what it is
I have many cuisinart appliances and love them - the big mixer, large food processor, immersion blender , mini chopper, pots, pans, 4 slice toaster (for 15 years - works great) to list just a few. I bought this toaster because I lost my husband, downsized and thought I would save space. The outside wall doesn't toast - the bread on one side is brown and the other side white. For the first time I was disappointed with Cuisinart. Sorry
