Perfect toasted bread slices
Old toaster would give you black slices not golden brown
Like the buttons foe Bagels etc.

I bought this toaster to replace the same model that I bought more just over ten years ago. This new toaster is everything one could ask for: consistently perfect toast, just the way you want it. What else could anyone ask for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The lever doesn't come up all the way when doing a bagel. The bagel light goes off but it doesn't pop up the bagel. I had to nudge the lever to get it to pop up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I thought because this was made by Cuisinart it would be a great toaster. It’s rather cheaply made and doesn’t toast both sides of the bread evenly. I’d never buy another one.

My new toaster replaces a much older but similar Cuisinart toaster, the handle of which broke off making operation difficult. No complaint: we had the old toaster for a long time. The new toaster is well constructed and has a couple of minor but useful improvements, most notably the Defrost button and the Rewarm button, which work well. My only complaint: when toasting, the new toaster does not toast bread as completely as the old one did. Using the maximum setting, the new toaster toasts the surfaces reasonably well but the inside of the bread, not so much. To get it the way I like it, and to produce the same degree of toastedness as the old one did, I have to use the max setting, then once it finishes, toast again for 30-45 seconds. I use Alexa to time the second toasting, then hit the Cancel button when the 45-second timer goes off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This toaster was a replacement for one that suddenly died, so I was kind of in a hurry and I should have shopped around more. It is very light weight (plastic) and does the job just fine, but a couple things are different from my old one: the 'cage' that holds the bread is not very deep, so larger pieces are unevenly toasted.
There are no 'beeps' - my old one beeped when it was done and it popped up all the way; this one has no sounds and it simply released the locking lever, but does not raise up the bread.

Well, it works, unlike my last 30 year old toaster. It's lightweight and compact. Those are the good things. The failures follow:
- Toasts only one side of the slice of bread.
- Cord storage is insane. Takes about 5 minutes and cord is too short to wrap around the toaster and be done.
You need to wrap the cord around an oblong piece on the bottom of the toaster. This means any crumbs spill out. It takes several minutes to wrap the cord around the oblong shape and 4 prongs which are too short to handle two wraps of the cord. Storage of the plug is then another rather odd step of wrapping the cord under a hook-shaped protrusion so that the plug sticks out of the side.
Why can Oster who makes my small, compact hand mixer, use a push-button retractable cord and Cuisinart can't figure out how to do it for a toaster, a much larger item?
This cord wrapping is absolutely moronic. Please deal with your design team to come up with a better method.

- This morning when preparing the toaster for storage, a plastic piece fell out/off and I have no idea where it goes.
I think I'm going to return it to Amazon and find another brand.
