I bought this as a gift for my husband. He loves it. It seemed that every other toaster we had would be fine one morning but burn the toast the next. This one is the same every morning. The browning is true to the number dial.
I bought this to replace a 20 year old toaster that passed on. Saw this on sale and bought it. Makes nice toast and bagels. Well made. Good toasting features.
I love the simplicity of the toaster settings and how my toast comes out perfect every single time. It is uniformly toasted on both sides unlike my previous toaster which would be a hit and a miss where one side would be un-toasted and the other side burnt.
I purchased this several weeks ago and am finding it to be a good toaster. I use gluten free bread and it toasts it quite evenly. My previous toaster, not a Cusinart, didn't.
