I have found that this toaster doesn't toast evenly.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2‑Slice Compact Plastic Toaster—we’re sorry to hear the toasting has been uneven. Uneven results can sometimes be improved by adjusting the browning control and ensuring the crumb tray is cleaned regularly, as debris buildup can affect proper heat distribution. Our Consumer Assistance Center would be happy to help troubleshoot or review support options at 1‑800‑726‑0190; please reference Ticket #8900638255 when you call. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve performance and design in future models.
I purchased this toaster with an expectation that I would be disappointed despite the Cuisinart name. I am pleased to say that turned out not to be true! From the first time I put a slice of bread in, the toaster has consistently toasted my bread evenly and perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone , excellent value for the money!
As stated in many testing reviews, this is one of the few that gets the most "bang for the buck." Read the reviews for performance and pricing information. My family is very pleased, including our four-legged family member Mio-chan, who loves crunchy toast.
We replaced our old toaster with this 2 slice Cuisinart toaster and it is a huge upgrade for very little money. This toaster works quickly and accurately. Great purchase!
