I don't know why anyone would want to spend $200 on a few pieces of metal stuck together to heat up bread and not cook it through. My oven does a better job of it. Sure it takes 10 minutes longer but at least it comes out as toast not some half baked goods. I wouldn't even give it away as a free gift it is a hazard in the kitchen

Had this toaster for more than a year. Going great. Happy with its performance.

The previous Cuisinart model had a count down timer - this one has "bars" - strong bars = almost done. The count down was better but that last unit has some product issues. I would rather a reliable, good looking toaster - which this seems to be.

The toaster is not designed for large bread e.g wonder white, 800g loaves. The toaster does not cook evenly and if purchasing one of the larger loaves, the top of the toast does not cook at all. Called customer service and was advised that is how it is. I didn't really need a new toaster but bought to match my new Cuisinart Kettle as it was red. Big mistake.

Works OK but buttons worn off within a few months not really expected in a premium priced product. Still waiting for a remedy from supplier after 3 months.

My last toaster, a 2 slice clumpy-looking Breville, was unsatisfactory in several respects especially with toasting unevenly so when it gave up the ghost I plumped for a Cuisinart as the C electric kettle I bought late last year has all the settings anyone could want, is stylish, reliable, quiet and efficient. The Cuisinart toaster (model CPT 420 2) toasts both sides evenly (many don't!), has extra wide slots for crumpets, looks terrific and beeps to let you know when the toast or crumpet is done — handy when you're out of the room. They are really stylish products but better still, they function perfectly!
