 Love this toaster! Sep 07, 2006
By Mom and more
We recommend this toaster highly! Our experience has been that it browns the toast quickly and evenly, has great settings(defrost, bagel etc.), a slide out crumb tray and gives the option for 2 or 4 slices (if 2 slices is chosen, the other side is shut off). We love this toaster!

Finally, A Great Toaster Jul 20, 2006
By Mario A. Scalzo Jr.
This is a fantastic toaster that actually toasts the bread evenly ALL THE TIME! Have also used it for frozen pastries and french toast and it's perfect. Can be counted on for a great breakfast toast whether it be plain bread, Texas style bread, raisin bread and bagels. All are perfectly done.

 A step backward May 27, 2008
By H. A. Ball
I had a single slot Cuisinart toaster for about 10 years before it died (circuit board failure). That toaster was the best toaster I ever had with simple electronic controls that seemed "intelligent" and seemed to make perfect toast every time from bread, bagels, english muffins, waffles, each frozen or not. I was sad to see it go. I was doubly sad to find that they no longer manufacture that toaster so I bought this as a substitute. The controls on this new toaster are mechanical - a selection dial (for toast, bagel, reheat, defrost), push buttons (labeled 4 slice or 2 slice to heat both slots or the front slot only), and a darkness dial. I have several problems with this toaster that leads to my less than enthusiastic evaluation. In general, I find that it is hard to find the "sweet spot" to get consistent browning from this toaster - the toast is either underdone or burnt. The side of the toast that is against the center element is invariably more done than the side facing the outer element. The 2/4 slice option sounds like it should add energy efficiency to the appliance but in the implementation, both sides of the center element light up so only one side of the second slot ends up de-powered. The numbers on the darkness dial are lit up with a blue (LED?) light that casts a too-bright blue glow in our kitchen at night after turning out the lights (may be a feature for those who want a free night light with their toaster but I find it intrusive). If I did not know and love the previous model then perhaps I would not be so sensitive to the weaknesses of this toaster - so your mileage and impression may differ from mine. I am just struck by how much better the toaster from 10 years ago was than this current model. Oh well.

 toaster Aug 18, 2006
By B. M. Wilson
I have been looking for a toaster for my husbands long slices of sour dough bread. This Cuisinart toaster fits the bill. It is long but not too thick, so it doesn't take up too much counter space. My only objection is that when the outside edges of the long slice is lightly brown, the inside is not. In order to have the middle lightly brown the edges will be darker. Not ideal but O.K.

 uneven browning. great customer support Nov 14, 2009
By John Danilson
This is the second Cuisinart toaster we have tried. Like the other, it simply is not consistent in the amount of browning. Sometimes, the toast (or bagel) comes out with perfect browning on one side and nothing on the other. Occasionally we hit the jackpot and get good toast but we've no idea what alignment of the stars makes this happen.
We bought this because our older model of this toaster worked well until it died; but something must have changed in the design or the particular one we received was defective. We simply don't know. We're trying an upscale Krupp toaster now and the initial toast seems to be doing well.
On the plus side, the Amazon partner, took the toaster back with no questions asked. I love this kind of customer support.
