I bought the two-slice toaster and am very happy with it. Good price and good quality. Makes perfect toast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Does a fine job of toasting. Cool to the touch when operating. Very lightweight, easy to turn upside down to shake out crumbs.
Cons: The biggest con is that the first several toasting cycles smell like burning plastic. Really horrible smell, presumably somewhat toxic. Do a few cycles empty, until smell stops, with ventilation. Slots are smaller back to front than our previous unit, longer slices have to be turned and put in again. Dial turns easily, can be knocked to unintended setting if not careful.

Have not use all functions and only used regular bread and it seems to be working ok. I like the defrost, reheat and also can toast any size of bread.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not the usual quality I associate with Crisinart. The dial to set color of toast is so easy to move that you can just brush against it and it moves. Also the very top of some slices of bread don't get toasted. Some larger bagels don't fit in the slots. Very disappointed. I will be returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear this toaster didn’t meet the quality you expect from Cuisinart and understand how disappointing that can be. We recommend ensuring the toast shade dial is set prior to use, centering bread in the slots for more even browning at the top, and noting that thicker bagels may toast best when sliced or toasted in multiple cycles; our Consumer Assistance Center is also available at 1-800-726-0190 should you wish to discuss this further Ticket #8900577049. We’re glad to hear you were able to complete a hassle-free return. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it helps us drive improvements in future models.

Very nice and compact, perfect for our small kitchen, and just the two of us. Specific settings for toast and for bagels is very convenient. Very good workmanship. And an outstanding value.

Easy to see dials for aged eyes! Some bun halves don't fit well even though it says bagels fit.

The first time we used the toaster it gave off a strong chemical odor. We immediately shut it off and put out on our porch. Once the toaster had cooled down, we tried it again. The same strong smell came out of the toaster. After ten tries and no lessening of the odor, we returned the toaster to the store and purchased a different brand. That new toaster worked fine. No bad chemical smell.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear about the strong odor you experienced with the 2 Slice Compact Toaster, as new appliances may produce a slight smell during initial heating. We are happy to hear you were able to return your toaster with ease and appreciate the chance to look into this further. Thank you—we truly appreciate your feedback.
