It’s a good toaster if you just want one side browned. Otherwise, you will have to flip the toast from one side to the other. Not what I expected!

The bagel function did not work at all. I exchanged it for the exact same item, and the bagel fumction did not work.

High rated but no better than our current toaster. Bought it for its high marks for bagels, the high rating is not deserved.

After 4 weeks of use by a retired couple it no longer stays down to toast bread. Your brand had always been number 1 with us. Thinking this toaster is not the norm for Cuisinart. How do we return it?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the issue with your toaster, as this isn’t typical for Cuisinart products. Sometimes crumbs or debris can prevent the lever from staying down, so you might try clearing the toaster’s interior and giving it a quick unplug-and-reset before contacting us. If you believe your unit may not be working as it should please reach out to our Consumer Service team at 1-800-726-0190 for assistance.
This was a housewarming gift from my dad; I've only had it a couple weeks but it seems to reliably toast bread and bagels, although it takes a bit of toggling the dial to find the right level.
