The lever you pushed down to start the toasting would not stay down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this toaster properly designed and very convenient. I had previously cuisinart products all great qualities so it was an easy selection choice for me. Happy to have it.
Wonderful, wonderful toaster, it browns quickly & evenly on all types of bread. May it be thick, thin, or a bagel. I've been wanting to replace my old toaster for over two years. The old toaster took forever to toast, and I had to do several cycles to get it light brown. wished I had done it sooner.
I'm always very pleased with the quality & performance of Cuisinart products. And they seem to last forever.
Replaced a previous Cuisinart stainless steel toaster that worked well, but the digital settings didn’t match my toasting (darkness) preferences. This one is black with analog dials that are far more variable and match the toasting that I want for various breads, muffins and bagels. I am delighted, and it was cheaper than my previous model. Highly recommend.
