Bought it because it was highly rated in New York Times Wirecutter. I am very disappointed, and will be returning the toaster. Apparently a lemon. It toasts extremely unevenly in both slots, one side of the bread fully toasted, the other only slightly. One of the slots toasts the bottom of the slice heavily, and the top hardly at all. I've given it two weeks of use, hoping it would find it's groove, but no luck. As I say, maybe this particular unit is defective, and not representative of the whole, but I won't be buying another one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this Cuisinart two slice toaster to replace my 20 year old toaster. Now I wish I had kept my old toaster. The Cuisinart toasts bread very unevenly. One side of the bread burns while the other side is very lightly toasted. I have to stand there and pop the toast up early and reverse the bread slices. It's crazy that I have to do this to toast bread. First time I have been disappointed in Cuisinart.
