So far so good! It seems toasters now a days do not have a long life expectancy. Spending more doesn't seem to do the trick. We were satisfied with the cost and it is easy to use. It hasn't failed our expectations.!
We've had this toaster for a few weeks and while the features are nice, it seems to be stuck in the "Bagel" mode. The led indicator is not lit though. When toasting bread on the normal setting, the toast browns more on one side than the other as if it were set for a bagel. Otherwise it's a great toaster.
Size and color were important because I now live in a NYC style apartment and I’m also back to white appliances. However, I wanted quality and functionality. This toaster is very light weight, a little less compact than expected, but it works so well! I’m happy with my purchase!
I replaced my older Kitchen Aide toaster that was great with this new Cuisinart which won’t toast both sides of a slice of bread the same!! I am not happy.
