From day one, this toaster was inconsistent. By the second week, the lever wasn’t working properly. I picked this toaster because of the wire cutter review. I have never been so wronged by a wire cutter review. The toaster is being returned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have taken note of the information you shared about the Cuisinart Toaster as we are always looking to make products that exceed expectations.

The toaster burns the lower portion of the bread while leaving the upper part under-toasted. The only way to toast evenly is to do two cycles, turning the bread upside down after the first one.
What a disappointment! I bought this toaster to replace. my older Cuisinart two-slice toaster, which has been toasting unevenly for a while now. This toaster, out of the box, feels much more flimsy and cheap. Not only that, the one I received was defective; the toast wouldn't stay down to toast. Back it went.
This was a replacement for the same toaster that did not brown one side of the bread from the day we purchased it. Unfortunately, this toaster does the exact same thing.
Hey what can I say. It toasts bread and does a great job. Have used it for bagels and it works great. Looks good, easy to clean, and sized right to store in a cabinet. Great Value, don't need a lot of bells and whistles. It's a toaster!
