It's ok but when it comes to toasting bagels, it doesn't do it evenly all the way around. And no sign of which way to put the bagels in the slots.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, September 10, 2026
We're sorry to hear the 2-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster did not toast your bagels evenly. For the best results when using the Bagel feature, place the cut sides of the bagel facing inward toward the center of the toaster, as the Bagel function is designed to add time and direct more heat to the cut surface. If uneven browning continues, trying a different browning setting may help achieve more consistent results. Thank you for sharing your feedback, which is appreciated and will be shared with our team as we continue improving our products and user instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes forever to toast! Even on 7 (highest setting) the toast is only lightly browned. Not at all happy with this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear your 2 Slice Compact Plastic Toaster is not producing the browning results you expected. To help improve performance, we recommend ensuring the toaster is plugged directly into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord and trying a few consecutive toast cycles, as some units may require additional time to reach optimal operating temperature. If the toaster continues to produce only lightly browned toast on the highest setting, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901111923 so we can further assist. Thank you for sharing your feedback; your comments will be passed along to the appropriate team as we continue working to improve our products and consumer experience.

It's no great shakes. I set it on the highest setting and my toast is only part done.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear your 2 Slice Compact Plastic Toaster is not achieving your desired level of browning, even on the highest setting. For best results, try using the toaster on consecutive cycles for thicker breads, ensure the crumb tray is clean, and verify the bread is centered in the slots, as these factors can impact toasting performance. If the issue persists, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901101094 for further assistance. Thank you for sharing your feedback; we appreciate your comments and have forwarded them to the appropriate team.

The toaster works a bit differently from my last Cuisinart toaster and is built with lighter weight plastic. The controls are fine but the crumb drawer is in the back of the unit instead of the front as in my last toaster. Now I have to turn the toaster around whenever I want to empty it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed to replace an aging toaster at home. I really liked the one we have at work, so we purchased the same model. I love the features - one of my favorites is the lever that lifts the toast up so that it can be removed safely. So far so good! Loving it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just a simple & compact toaster, perfect for limited counter space like my kitchen.I like the facts that insert is big enough to fit a bagel, and that I can select
from the bagel, defrost or reheat options.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, clean, and store. Intuitive controls, without too many bells and whistles to break. It's been reliable and toasts evenly. It does the job I ask it to do!
I would recommend this to a friend!
