Title: Decent toaster, decent price!
Review: Don’t let the bad reviews intimidate you—I was skeptical at first, but the fact that I couldn’t find ANY toaster with near-perfect ratings (from a reputable brand)—aside from those in the $100 range made me rethink my options; all I want is a toaster with basic functions that won’t break after a couple years. Since this toaster is not only reasonably priced, as well as consistently well-rated from tester sites for appliances, I decided to take a chance on it.It is exactly what I’m looking for: a straightforward toaster with all the basic toaster functions (toast, bagel, defrost, reheat), and in a price range that makes sense for a small appliance that does one thing—toast bread. Additionally, it’s small, has an easily accessible crumb tray, is quiet, and the sides remain cool when toasting.But the best feature is how FAST it toasts! I find it takes a minute, maybe a little more or less, depending the setting.Its toast levels (1 - 5) give pretty distinct toast results from each level, and it toasts fairly evenly, if the pieces fit entirely into the slots—which are not long, but are just big enough to hold a bagel slice.The settings aren’t as effective as I’d like, however; for example, I find the “Frozen” setting isn’t all that different from the “Toast” setting, since toasting frozen waffles using both settings yielded similar results. The “Bagel” setting also tends to toast both sides, but maybe it’s due to the fact I like to use the higher, level 4 setting.In all, I find the positives outweigh the negatives, although I suppose it depends upon what you’re looking for. I was looking for a decent toaster for a decent price—and I found it!UPDATE: After all the abuse I’ve subjected this toaster to, it’s still going strong! I am not the best at “maintaining” appliances (okay, cleaning out the tray) but it’s never given me problems. I’ve even crammed buns that are slightly too-big and specialty bread slices (think thick sweet slices of orange-cranberry toast, cheese, cinnamon) and again, zero issues in terms of getting stuck-on food inside. It’s been really quite reliable and I know once this thing gives in I’ll likely but another one.

Title: Not as good as the old ones
Review: How old are the two of these hoping that at least one was not a mistake but both of the ones that I bought only toasted one side of the bread and while looking into the toaster while it’s on you can see that not all of the heating bars were working. I am very disappointed. I’ve always had a Cuisinart toaster until the spring when my old toaster decided to only toast on one side. Now all of the new toasters that I’ve ordered only toast on one side even when you put two slices in only one side of each slice gets toasted .

Title: Good value
Review: So okay... It's a toaster.... And an inexpensive one at that. I am not typically a guy who searches out the cheapest thing especially when it comes to appliances or "durable goods". But with a toaster, I thought I would just give it a try. This toaster replaced an earlier, far more expensive, upscale model that performed just "okay" and lasted about ten years. Since I no longer really care about what visitors think about my purchase decisions and I am no longer interested in "keeping up with the ...", I figured this toaster would be fine.... as long as it worked the way it was supposed to. The one it replaced was also a Cuisinart..... long slot, beautiful finish, high tech controls, heated with fancy glow bulbs.... Well, the bulbs gave up and it seemed such a waste of time and dollars to try to replace them... especially since the toaster never performed nearly as well as it should have (considering the original price...). So I decided to go the opposite way this time. This Cuisinart toaster looks good, toasts two slices at a time, will accept and toast bagels and English muffins, and works the way it was designed (at least so far...!!).Toasting normal sandwich bread is easy. Set the darkness to the center (#4) and push the lever/handle down. Shortly you will have toast. Both sides toasted to a close approximation of each other. If you toast other bread styles like the more upscale bakery breads (7-grain, Oatmeal-honey, All-grain, etc., ...) then you will probably need to set the control to #5 to get a satisfactory "crunch" on your toast. English muffins take longer (in all toasters..). Bagels toast fine too. If you use the special bagel "feature" (button..) then the bagel will toast mostly on one side.... And as long as you put the bagel into the toaster the same way each time, it should be mostly satisfactory. I like the defrost setting... It works. I will usually keep a loaf or two of bread in the freezer... The defrost setting allows you to defrost and toast quickly. Should be a relatively simple process ... and apparently it is because it works the way it is supposed to.I like the wide slots and the way the toaster keeps the bread centered (mostly... as long as you aren't toasting really thin bread..). The cord is short, but that is to be expected because the law requires it. It can be routed around several little hooks on the bottom of the toaster so that it exits out from under the base on the side or the rear... whichever you prefer.Overall, I'm happy. If it quits tomorrow, I will send it back. If it quits after a few years, I will have received my money's worth of use. No complaints.

Title: Works like a charm
Review: We have not had a toaster for some time, we've been using a compact table top grill which can make toast but not as fast as this toaster. Simple and easy to use controls, makes toast exactly how we like it. Great product. It does not switch off one side when all you need is one slice but that's a small thing. Most of the time we are using both slots. The toast pops up when it's ready which is much better than opening the door of the grill and fishing out the toast. Love it!

Review: Es algo voluminoso, pero para lo que es funciona perfecto.Siempre he tenido algo de problema con el hecho de que en cualquier tostador siempre se llena por dentro de migajas. Pero este al menos tiene el plus de que por debajo hay una bandeja que uno puede quitar para limpiar las migajas que le caigan.Tiene varias funciones, aunque en realidad solo lo usamos para tostar. Quisimos este porque precisamente estaba muy bien reseñado en The Wirecutter para tostar correctamente, y así ha sido hasta ahora.Muy recomendable 🙂

Review: En general bastante bien. Comprado en noviembre 2019 y en diciembre 2021 las resistencias de la parte centrales dejaron de funcionar (la típica rotura del cable-resistencia que no se puede arreglar sin un empalme metálico imposible de encontrar). Ahora calienta solo en los bordes y tenemos que darle la vuelta al pan para que se tueste de ambos lados.El uso de malos materiales parece por desgracia ser la norma ahora, incluso en las tostadoras caras. Pero que funcione solo 2 años es realmente escandaloso (solo usamos un pinza de bambú para sacar el pan, sin maltrato especial).
