Title: Nice Upgrade
Review: Purchased to replace an older Cuisinart 4-slice toaster that finally gave up the ghost. The older one was the long version, which worked well, but this one has the capability to toast 4 slices, but with two different settings, something lacking in the older version. Was surprised at the size of the new toaster, as it takes up very little room, at least compared to the older one.So far we’re pleased with the toaster and how well it performs. Toast comes our pretty even and is toasted from edge to edge.

Title: Quality as expected.
Review: I’ve come to expect a lot from Cuisnart, and they didn’t disappoint. Great toaster – I now have 3 of essentially the same one (in different locations).

Title: Uneven toasting fixed
Review: This white, 4-slice Cuisinart toaster arrived in a timely manner and was packed very well. I put four slices of bread in the toaster, set the toasting level to about 3 1/2 and pressed the levers down.. When they popped up, one side of each slice was fairly evenly toasted but the other side of all 4 slices were not browned at all. I thought I received a bad toaster and was going to return it. I then remembered reading about breaking in the heating elements of a new toaster and so I ran the toaster 4-5 more times (without any bread), waiting several minutes between each cycle.. I then put 4 slices of bread in the toaster and to my surprise all 4 slices came out evenly toasted on both sides. Problem solved and very happy. I cancelled my return.

Title: Works well and good value
Review: Let’s face it—toasters have become throwaway items. My expierence is they all quit working fairly soon usually because the little wires quit toasting. Solution? Buy a cheaper one and hope for the best.So far we’re happy with this one. Toasts very well. Looks good. Good deal.

Title: Only 1” wide, not 1.5” as advertised.
Review: This is a big disappointment but I didn’t even notice this before I had it too long to return it. The openings on top are exactly, if not a hair under, 1.5” wide by 5.25” long. That’s 1 and 1/2” wide by 5 and 1/4” long, for those that don’t do decimal.But you CANNOT get anything thicker than 1” between the wire brackets inside. They do not spread wider. I tried it. Several times. This is very disappointing because it was advertised as 1.5” wide. Thick Texas toast was one of the big reasons I bought it. I would not have bought it if I knew you can’t put anything over an inch thick in it. Even bagel halves are hard to cram into it and they are much firmer than Texas toast so there’s no need to try that. I’ve had a couple bagel halves that weren’t cut exactly in the middle and the thicker side wouldn’t fit into the toaster at all.Start off toasting sandwich bread on a low setting. The two on this one does what the three did on my old toaster. 3 and a half on this toaster burns sandwich bread black so I don’t know why the settings go to 7. Also, be sure to use the cancel button if you need to raise the toast before the timer is done. You might damage it if you try to raise it by the handle like all the toasters I’ve had before. This one takes more force to lock down than others I’ve had and I thought something was wrong with it when it wouldn’t stay down. I pushed down harder out of frustration and it locked. The cancel button pops it right up. I’m used to using it now and I don’t think a thing about it. Read all the instructions before using it because some settings don’t work the way you’d assume it would, like the bagel setting.There was a less expensive toaster that was advertised as 1.5” wide but I went with the Cuisinart brand because I thought it would be exactly as advertised. I was wrong.June 7th 2022. This piece of junk will be replaced in the near future. I only toast on the number one setting now because it takes so long to get that done. The bread comes out almost hot but no browning. False advertising and absolutely the worst toaster I’ve ever seen. We have toast at least once a day, almost every day. We’ve been married 51 years now and this is our third toaster, so that shows you what a piece of junk this is, and it’s not just a lemon, it was advertised as having 1 1/2” wide openings and toasting very quick. Absolutely false.

Review: Bought this based on a Wirecutter recommendation of value for money. So far, so good. It will toast a dense slice of sourdough fresh from the fridge in one go, which is what we were looking for. Toasters just don’t last the way they used to, so no high hopes for longevity, but fresh out of the box, it works just fine.

Review: 8 years later. We still use it. All functions still work and we still use all functions on it. Toasting evenness over the years has gone from even throughout to even about 4/5 through with the other 1/5 being close. I really enjoy how I can pull up on the levers to pop out my toast a little more. It still looks nice and cleans up easily.

Review: Evenly toasts your bread on both sides. I bought one for the cottage and it worked so well, I bought a second one to replace the one at home.

Review: I have had this product for about a year. The left handle is very hard to get down. It seems to catch on something and I often have to try a couple of times. It’s bad enough that I wish I could return it but my window has closed. The overall quality apart from that is good. My only comment would be that slightly wider slots would be better.

Review: So far I’m pretty pleased. The toaster does what it’s supposed to. It’s tough to find a white toaster so that’s why I first looked at this one. It’s a tad pricey but I’m happy with it
