Cuisinart 2-Slice Toaster

Very difficult to control how much a slice is toasted. The control dial is very loose and I am not sure if actually changes the time.

Toasts unevenly in both slots: one side of bread is toasted, the other is not. In order to get bread toasted on both sides, I have to turn to a low temp (2 or mid-way between 2 and 3), toast, flip the bread over and toast again. What used to be a 1 step process with my previous toaster is now 2 steps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only issue we have with this toaster is that it has a range of 1-7 for the darkness setting and yet starts to burn it at level 3!! It must disintegrate on level 7. But this seems to be a common problem with all toasters we have tried lately.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is working as well as I expected . Was a great buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. I love the "Cancel" button feature. Past toasters it was like a jack in the box when it might pop up trying to pull the slider up and if your toast would actually stay in the toaster or end up on the counter lol.

So far, I have not been able to make one piece of acceptable toast. It is always almost burnt on one side and hardly toasted on the other.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a perfect small sized toaster ! Looks great and works even better. I bought this to replace an old cuisinart toaster. I researched online and was going to buy a more expensive one but based on reviews went with this one. It is inexpensive but certainly not cheap looking. Very happy with this purchase.

Initially, it would toast only one side at the middle setting or burn that side if you tried increasing the setting. Then we experimented and discovered that the bagel setting toasted almost evenly on both sides. The instructions did not specify that the bagel setting was the one to use, and I wonder whether we were just lucky and/or if this will be true for other users. The uneven toasting is my only criticism. On the plus side, it does toasts much quicker than any other toaster I’ve used. I will hold on to this toaster unless it stops toasting reasonably evenly. If there’s another way to get an even toasting, pls let us all know. Most of these toasters are not well made. This one is better than most. Fingers crossed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the toaster on the recommendation of the NY Times and it has performed beautifully. It has wide slots so bagels can be toasted easily and it works great with toast, too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed to replace our toaster and the Cuisinart 2-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster has met our need. It works fine, but our choice had more to do with the three year warranty. There are many available toasters that start off working fine, but within two years they become defective. This is why the Cuisnart was an easy choice: it works fine and should there be a problem, it is backed-up by a three year warranty

Out the box the heating filaments do not all come on so that the toast is burnt on one side and not toasted on the other.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toaster is well made. It is somewhat difficult to press the lever to start it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works very well for toast and bagels. Just the right size for a two slot toaster to store in the corner cabinet of our very small kitchen. Cheap materials but for the price, ok.

I'm disappointed with my new Model CPT-122 toaster. It doesn't heat the toast unless you turn the dial up to almost all the way. It's only a little bit better than the same model that it replaced. I thought that Cuisiart was a more reliable brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this same unit for years and years. It was so well used the labels "heat, bagel, defrost" were woven out on the front of the unit. The unit started not toasting on one side of the bread. I was thrilled to find this unit is still available after all these years (and cheaper).

I made this purchase thinking I would get an adequate product. This item is very, very, poor, The Temp knob was also broken when I got it. In the photos it shows a Bagel button, but it real does not work. It should turn off the outside burners, so your bagel is only toasted on one side of each half. the different shades of toasting are also way off. I am very disappointed with Cuisinart and this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this toaster a few weeks ago, and we're very happy with it.

Finally, a gadget that toasts evenly! Nice design, attractive looking. Too soon for 5 stars. Ask me again after one year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had the same basic model for years. It worked well enough for us to purchase another one when the original one stopped working.

Returned it because it toasted only one side of the bread.
