Title: Nice styling
Review: This is the second one of these we purchased. The first one last over 7 years and was used a lot. This new one has improvements not only in style, but has added features like the bagel feature. I like how even it toast your bread.

Title: Well working toaster
Review: This toasts well for lots of different bread types. We had an older one that was dying. We use it almost everyday.

Title: Questionable Durability
Review: I bought this toaster after much research in July of 2021. A month ago, the lever broke. I’m not a heavy user, maybe once every 7-10 days. Of course, I can grab the metal piece that’s sticking out with dish towel to lower it; but why should I have to? It’s inconvenient and annoying. The entire assembly should have been made of metal instead of plastic.

Title: Never really worked right, and now barely works at all
Review: I just looked at the date we bought this, it was about 15 months ago. Within the first few weeks, we realize the so-called single-slice function didn’t work. I contacted Cuisinart, and they asked me for a serial number. With ill health in the family, things got too busy, and I never got the toaster and looked for the serial number. We managed to use it without the single-slice function, but then we noticed that the far-right slot always toasted only one side. So if we had to use that slot, we had to be sure to pop up the toast and turn it about half way through. Pretty soon, we noticed both of the right hand side slots didnt toast evenly; both toasted on only one side. So we started using only the slots on the left. That worked for a while, and then that started also toasting only one side. So we started flipping the bread halfway through on that side, as well. We now are unable to calculate what will happen, so we generally have bread toasted on only one side and haven’t figured out how to circumvent this. It appears that at least one coil on each side of the toaster doesn’t heat. Should a toaster work that badly that quickly? I should have tried to find the serial number and gotten an exchange while I could have. But life gets hectic sometimes.I remember my grandmother had an old G.E. toaster that she had had for several years when I was visiting her. No problem ever with that thing. It was heavy and bulky and solid. She had it and used for 35 more years after that. Just because Cuisinart seemed to have a good reputation, I thought this looked like an idea toaster with lots of settings and functions, toasting 1 side only or both sides, 4 slots, etc. Very disappointing and a waste of money. It’s a year later, so maybe it has been improved. But too late for us. Ours will have to be junked. Even the Salvation Army won’t want it.What makes it worse is that Cuisinart makes it costly and difficult to use the 3 year warranty. When I called a year ago, I would have had to ship them the toaster at my own expense and make sure it would get there, meaning insuring it. Then it would have cost me out of pocket $10 for them to send me a repaired or new toaster. I’m guessing that would have cost ME almost $20, plus I would have had no toaster at all for that period of time. That is about the worst deal I’ve heard in many years when it comes to customer service. Considering my time as well as money, I’m better off to just buy a different brand toaster and to avoid Cuisinart products. The warranty is virtually useless.

Title: Best toaster on all settings
Review: This toaster was in the condo we rented on vacation. 4 slice with 2 separate settings. I was so impressed with the muffin, bagel and bread toasting results, I purchased one as soon as we returned home. The settings for bagel and muffins result in how dark or light you want your results without under toasting or burnt results. Use the 10 setting (all the way to the right) for well toasted results. The middle setting (5) results in an average toasting. The 1 setting results in a very light toasting. The instructions on the top of the toaster instruct that the bagel or muffin should be placed in the toaster with the side to be toasted facing the outside wall. My previous toaster did not toast well, even on the highest setting. I would have to push it down again and guess what setting to use to achieve a well toasted muffin or bagel. Despite my efforts I usually end up with an uneven toasted muffin/bagel with burnt edges. Not with this toaster. I am sure you will be happy with the results.

Title: Not a great toaster
Review: Very disappointed in this toaster, especially after having done a lot of research and read many reviews of various toasters. This one was rated fairly high by several independent sources however it had problems within just a few weeks of using it. We do NOT use this toaster very hard, about 3-4 times per week. It does not toast evenly, and you can look in and see that several of the heating elements don’t even heat up. The more annoying problem however is that the left two slots don’t function unless I mess with it for a while. The lever simply won’t stay down so it won’t heat up. I finally figured out that if I pull the lever all the way up to the top without putting the bread in and then press the lever all the way down and then put the bread in, it usually will heat up. Sometimes I have to do this several times in order for it to work. I really don’t understand why it is so hard to find a reliable toaster with all the technology advances over the past many decades. It’s ridiculous! I do not recommend this toaster.
