Cuisinart toaster is the perfect size for the counter. Two features that nudged me to give it a try......crumb pull out drawer and toaster rack lift; meaning you do not burn your fingers trying to get your toast out, the rack lifts up from the push down nob which I found most toasters in this price range did not offer. Raising the toaster rack is not a smooth action, but it works and so I can recommend this item to anyone using it for standard bread size (length), bagel, etc. If you use the round breads the cuts will be too long, but cut bread slices in half and works just fine.
Walmart had this brand but was sold out. I couldn’t find what I wanted and choose another brand to find it scratched up from there and took it back. I bought this one at Rooster Brothers luckily on clearance. Wasn’t what I was looking for but affordable.
I purchased this toaster about a month ago to replace one that had stopped toasting. This toaster is really good. It toasts both sides of the bread evenly, has wide enough slots to fit a sliced bagel and has a bagel setting. There is a defrost setting, which I have not used yet, and a reheat setting which ends the days of cold toast! I really like this toaster and am very happy I bought it.
The toaster is way too slow - it takes forever to toast a slice of bread. Same problem with older toaster - same brand. Bought it because it was cheap.
