I've always had problems with toasters working correctly, but decided if any brand would work, Cuisinart would. I haven't been disappointed. Works just fine and have had no problems whatsoever.
I bought this to use at work and so far, so good. I do have to set it rather high (6) to reach the preferred toast level, but perhaps that could change with more use (I'm the only one who uses it every day).
Only had toaster a month and is working well so far. I bought it to replace previous midel I had for about 10 tears and nituce this new model diesn’t liok as well built and dies not have the small light that alerts you that it is plugged in which I thought was a good feature!
