The Cuisinart two-slice toaster is perfect for small townhome/apartment living. I like the compact size and contemporary look. It's great for basic toasting needs.
When making toast with regular type sandwich bread, use a low setting of 1 to 1.5 or you will have very burned toast! Good for bagels with a setting of 3-3.5.
It is a good toaster for the price and that is the reason that I bought it. I seldom use a toaster but I like to keep one in the kitchen. For those on a budget, like me, it offers a quality brand at a low price.
