Disappointing toaster
Disappointing toaster. It does not toast evenly on both sides of bread; one side is perfect and the other side is too light. Sometimes the bar to start the toaster will not stay down and I need to try 3 or 4 times. The toaster also feels very tinny. I do not recommend this product. I thought Cuisinart would make a good product. This one does not live up to their reputation.

We’re sorry to hear the toaster did not meet your expectations, particularly with uneven toasting and the lever not engaging consistently. For improved results, we recommend ensuring bread is centered in the slots, adjusting the shade setting, and regularly cleaning the crumb tray to remove debris, as buildup can affect performance. If the lever intermittently does not stay down or issues persist, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900911973 so we can assist further. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve future models.

Excellent, but basic, toaster.
Toasts well; simple settings. Sounds a bit 'tinny' when lowering or raising the bread, but looks nice.

It is Just Okay
The toaster seems fine, but very lightweight and unimpressive.

Uneven toasting
We bought this two weeks ago and it does not function well. It toasts unevenly; much darker on one side, too light on the other. Also, the bar to push down the bread is too sensitive; one must be gentle with it., or try a few times before it stays down. Very tinny feeling, not solid.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2 Slice Metal Classic Toaster—we’re sorry to hear it has not met your expectations. Uneven toasting can sometimes be improved by centering the bread properly in the slots, adjusting the shade setting, and clearing the crumb tray of any debris that may affect performance, while ensuring the unit is on a stable, level surface may help with lever engagement. If the issue persists, we’d be happy to assist further, so please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900646643. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps guide improvements for our future models—thank you.

Broke after a few months
Stopped popping up after only 6 months of use. Not what I expected from a Cuisinart appliance.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2 Slice Metal Toaster, and we’re sorry to hear it stopped functioning after only six months. In some cases, issues with the lever can be related to crumb buildup, so we recommend unplugging the unit and ensuring the crumb tray is thoroughly cleaned, as debris can interfere with the pop‑up mechanism. Our Consumer Assistance Center can help review your options at 1‑800‑726‑0190—please reference Ticket #8900645820 when calling. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us make improvements to future models.

Toasts As a Toaster Should
Lightweight and easy to use. The deep wells make toasting larger slices of bread a simple task. Actually has an attractive design too. Happy to recommend this product.

Choose something else
I bought this last month to replace our old Cuisinart toaster. Wish I had found something else. Still the same problems as the old one, which I thought were due solely to age. Half the slice of bread will toast so that when it pops up, you have to flip it 180 degrees and toast the rest--every single time. Two of us in house, so we only need 2 slices per person at a time. Second round of toast is always underdone, even on "darkest" setting. Daily morning annoyance. I thought Cuisinart was better than this.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear about the uneven toasting results you’re encountering with your new toaster. For more consistent performance, we recommend allowing the unit to fully cool between cycles, regularly cleaning the crumb tray to remove debris, and ensuring the bread is centered in the slots, as consecutive toasts and buildup can impact browning. Our Consumer Assistance Center is available to help troubleshoot further at 1‑800‑726‑0190—please reference Ticket #:8900644420 when calling. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve performance and reliability in future models.

Solid standard toaster
If you need a solid toaster, this one is perfect. It has a variety of levels and toast options and looks good in the kitchen.

Overall Good Toaster
This toaster toasts very evenly and well. The only downside is that the lever is a little loosey-goosey and doesn't always catch right away. Sometimes have to push it down 3-4 times.

Toaster unevenly toasts
I am used to the smart toaster, when the bread is toasting the light from the desired setting starts blinking allowing you to know approximately when the bread is about done and it is evenly toasted. This style is not like that, so it is taking a bit to get used to. However, once you get used to it the bread toasts okay, a bit uneven though. I would not recommend.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your comparison. Because this toaster uses a manual control system rather than countdown indicators, it may take a few uses to dial in your preferred setting; rotating bread and ensuring the crumb tray is clean can also help improve toasting consistency. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve future models and product designs.

2 Slice Metal Classic Toaster
This is fantastic appliance for my tiny studio apartment. In addition to its ability to toast and defrost a variety of thicknesses beautifully, it fits on the counter under the cabinets in my super small kitchen in an otherwise unusable space!

Don’t waste your money
Huge waste of money. We have had this toaster for a month and are shopping for a new one. It takes multiple attempts to get the bread to stay down and we have still not found the position on the dial that actually toasts the bread without burning it. Quite frankly it is a piece of junk.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the toaster and understand how frustrating inconsistent toasting and carriage issues can be. In some cases, ensuring the toaster is on a level surface, checking that the slots are free of crumbs or debris, and starting with a lower browning setting can help improve performance and prevent burning. Our Consumer Assistance Center would like the opportunity to assist—please contact 1‑800‑726‑0190 and reference Ticket #:8900635534 so we can review this further. Thank you for sharing your feedback, as it helps us identify opportunities to improve quality and future models.

Absolute Junk.
Photo on box looks great. In reality, this toaster is clearly just a piece of junk. Could not have been more poorly built.

Long life, cool design
I buy one of these classic toasters every 5 or so years when its predecessor finally gives up the ghost. I'm glad something that works for the long haul is still being made. Classic, simple design that fits into any kitchen scheme I've ever had. Suggestion: run this puppy thru a cycle or two before loading it up with bread.
