Great Toaster!
I’m really enjoying my new Cuisinart toaster! It toastes evenly and very easy to set it to the darkness/lightness that I want. It looks very nice sitting on my counter and matches my other appliances.

Standard toaster
Standart toaster. Toasts bread like it was made for. Nothing fancy.

Uneven
We had an old Black & Decker toaster that conked out on us, and thought we would kick it up a notch with the stainless steel Cuisinart. Sadly, it doesn’t toast very quickly, and more importantly, not evenly at all.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 9 days ago
Thank you for sharing your experience with us—we’re sorry to hear the toaster isn’t heating as quickly as expected and is producing uneven results compared to your previous model. Uneven toasting can sometimes be improved by ensuring both shade dials are set to the same level, checking that the crumb tray is fully inserted, and running a few cycles on a higher setting to help the heating elements balance out. Our team would be happy to walk through additional troubleshooting or explore support options to help improve performance, so please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1‑800‑726‑0190 and reference ticket number TICKET #8900570221. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist further.

2 slice metal classic toaster
I had an older model of this toaster and it lasted for years. So I decided to get a new one

Toasts quite well
I'm glad we purchased this toaster, though I wish the selector dial felt more firm, and landed right where you want it to land. It's a bit soft, but you just have to watch where it is. Hard to know exactly what # to choose, but we're finding out what # NOT to choose. I toasted frozen waffles, chose the frozen button, and the bottom half of the waffle was really dark, the top much less so. It's a learning curve, I guess. But it has nice heft to it and cord is a good length. Overall, we're pleased.

Disappointed in the quality
Very thin and flimsy - especially for the price. I usually buy Cuisinart for quality, but this is as thin as a tin can

Not the best Popper-Upper
Disappointed in the "pop-up" feature, as the toast does not energetically pop up after toasting. Quite often have to use tongs to get the toast out or you have to hold up the plunger manually.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 27 days ago
Thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry to hear the pop-up feature isn’t performing as expected. Sometimes the mechanism can become slightly misaligned or sticky from crumbs, so we recommend unplugging the toaster, allowing it to cool, and gently cleaning the crumb tray and interior to ensure smooth operation. If the issue continues, our team would be happy to assist with troubleshooting or replacement options. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900552287 for assistance.

Should be called a bread warmer
This toaser does not toast, it merely warms the bread, even on the highest setting and ir is very slow at that. Give Cuisinart credit for replacing the first one but the second one didn't work any better.
1 reply from Product Expert team - 1 month ago
We’re sorry to hear that your replacement toaster didn’t perform as expected, as our products are designed to provide consistent and efficient toasting. Settings can vary slightly depending on bread type and thickness, but your experience sounds outside normal operation. We’re glad we could replace the first unit and want to help ensure the second one works properly — please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900544690 so we can assist you further. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.

Not What I expected.
It takes multiple times to get the lever to stay down and does not toast consistently. Same bread, same setting is barely toasted or burnt. Never the same. The setting does not seem to work and never has. Totally disappointed. I haven't had a year and it's headed to the town dump. I expected more from Cuisinart. The price was very reasonable but I guess you get what you pay for.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 1 month ago
We’re very sorry to hear about the inconsistent toasting and lever issue you’ve experienced, and we understand your disappointment. Crumb buildup can sometimes affect lever engagement and performance, so we recommend unplugging the unit and cleaning the crumb tray regularly to help ensure proper operation. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 Ticket #8900542389 so we can troubleshoot further and review available options.

Regrettable Purchase
Regrettably I wouldn't make this purchase again, the exterior gets too hot to touch when being used and not all the elements internally get hot. My feeling is that for the money I'm disappointed with the purchase and wish it could be returned. I took the toaster back to the point of purchase but they told me that since it had been used they would not take it back. I'm stuck for now every morning with a toaster that is a disappointment hoping it will fail so I can go shopping for another.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with your toaster and understand your frustration. For safety, the exterior can become hot during use, but we want to ensure your unit is functioning properly and delivering even heating. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 Ticket #8900542219 so our team can troubleshoot your toaster or discuss available options.

Unsure
1. There should be some explanation of the uses for the button choices. "Bagel" does what? Toasts one side? 2. I miss the feel of quality. Cuisine Art products look and feel solid, stable.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 1 month ago
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback — we understand how important clear functionality and a premium feel are to the overall experience. The “Bagel” function is designed to toast the cut side of the bagel more while gently warming the outer side, and we appreciate your suggestion that this could be explained more clearly in the materials. For added support, a free downloadable PDF of the user’s manual is available on our website, which provides detailed explanations of each button and feature. We’re also sorry to hear the product did not meet your expectations in terms of weight and sturdiness.

Toaster Rating
We like most everything about this toaster but are disappointed that this model takes two runs through to toast an English Muffin. Our previous Cuisinart model had to be placed at near maximum but had a Muffin button that toasted it on a single run.

Bent when we got it
After using it 2 times the bar that raises the toast "basket" stopped coming up. Looks like it was bent when we got it.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 2 months ago
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, as our products are designed to provide reliable performance from the start. If the toast lever is not rising, please ensure the toaster is unplugged and check that there are no crumbs or debris obstructing the internal mechanism, as buildup can sometimes affect movement; however, a bent lever may indicate shipping damage. This is certainly not the experience we want for you, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to make it right. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900523836 so we can further assist you.

2 slice toaster
Great toaster. It works faster than the Cuisinart 4 slice we had.
