For those consumers who find evenly toasted bread boring and predictable, this toaster is for you! There’s no telling how much Cuisinart spent on research and development to make a toaster that only toasts on one side. It’s not really a problem, except for the burned fingers, if you interrupt the cycle and flip the slice halfway through the toasting process.
Kept two weeks then returned. Two vertical grids on both outside panels never turned red. Inside of both bread slices turned black. Did like compactness and the fact outside of toaster did not heat up. Had high hopes for this name brand toaster.
It’s sleek looking, easy to use, and works great. What else would you want in a toaster? Stayed in a nice condo recently and it had the same toaster! It enforced my decision to buy this one!
