I bought this toaster to replace the same model that I bought more just over ten years ago. This new toaster is everything one could ask for: consistently perfect toast, just the way you want it. What else could anyone ask for.
The lever doesn't come up all the way when doing a bagel. The bagel light goes off but it doesn't pop up the bagel. I had to nudge the lever to get it to pop up.
first one failed after less than a year, took a while to get the replacement, they make you cut the cord and send a picture meaning if anyone wanted to fix it they couldn't and ensuring it goes into a landfill, seems not entirely forward thinking
I thought because this was made by Cuisinart it would be a great toaster. It’s rather cheaply made and doesn’t toast both sides of the bread evenly. I’d never buy another one.
A few things were a little off-putting at first. At first, the main toast lever didn't want to stay down without very firmly pushing it down, but now, after a few weeks, it works fine. Second, the fact that you have to start toasting and *then* select bagel (or another setting) was non-intuitive. And third, the potentiometer for setting how dark you want is very easy to move out of place. That said, it does toast well, and I'm happy. Also, the picture here shows the white, but we bought the black.
