Cuisinart Toaster Ovens 2 Slice Metal Classic Toaster, New, CPT-160BKS

This toaster does everything one needs, leaving out the confusing complications. It toasts - bread and bagels - and does so perfectly. Truly a straightforward, quality product that performs consistently.

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.

Love that it toasts 4 slices fairly consistently. We have used it every day for a year. Only downsides are the first few days it was offgassing a lot of chemical smell, but then it went away. So air it out first. And ours stopped heating well after a year, some issue with the coils. But Cuisinart replaced the unit for free.

Bought this to replace an old 1970's toaster that finally gave out. I like the old timey look, but it doesn't work as good. Not all heaters heat up at the same time, so depending on what you're toasting you have a lot of trial and error to get it right. For me over all,I can work with it.

Seems like most toasters suffer the same deficiency in that they don’t toast evenly on both sides of the bread. This one seems a little better than the Breville unit that I just tossed out after years of frustration. Haven’t used all the functions on this toaster yet so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I would have liked a light indicator to tell me how close the toasting cycle is to being finished.

I am replacing a much older version of this toaster as one side no longer toasts like it used to. This device lasted a longtime and was worth replacing with a new model. The new model arrived and works as expected, butvI noticed a few differences. The most impactful us that it does not seem as deep as the previous version. I need to flip my bread and bagels for an even toast. I had to do this very infrequently before. Another difference is the overall weight; the new version seems less sturdy, but hopefully, this will not imoactvtge longevity of the toaster.

The toaster is easy to use. However, a single slice of bread is toasted dark on one side and lightly on the other. It appears that the heating element(s) in the center of the toaster cause this problem if only one slice of bread is toasted. The bread closest to the center is darker.

I want to return my toaster ASAP. I had the same toaster for 16 years that worked great until it finally wore out. Bought the same toaster but VERY disappointed. Have to push toaster knob down several times for it to latch and toast. When bread pops up its not toasted properly I push knob down to continue toasting the slice holders will not latch.

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.

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.
