Cuisinart Plastic Compact 2 Slice White Toaster

Just got this new toaster and haven’t used it yet. Looks great. I like that it is designed for bagels and Texas toast. I purchased the black one to match other kitchen appliances. Looking forward to using it but been out of town so it’s just looking pretty. Ive had their coffee makers for the past dozen years with the last one lasting almost 6 years making 2-3 pots a day and I just replaced it at the same time. I’ve been happy and satisfied with their products and service when needed. Highly recommend them.

A superb replacement for our 47 year old Hamilton beach chrome toaster. The sleek, white Cuisinart 2-slot toaster we bought matches our white kitchen cabinets and countertops perfectly. It operates flawlessly whether bread, English muffins and bagels. Consistently, daily knocks out great results. The lift feature is ingenious.

I had forgotten what actual browned toast and bagels should look like until we purchased this toaster. It works great and will even over-brown if set too high. Very happy so far.

Great toaster, matched the other kitchen appliances. I really like the ease of pushing the lever down, it just slides down and locks, unlike the previous one that wobbled and had to be held down and operated with two hands.

Looks good ! Great toast! Evenly toasted everytime

I enjoy having a couple slices of well toasted bread, just about every day! The toast from this Cuisinart is amazing! I would recommend buying one of these toasters’ to anyone. It would make a great gift to someone you love and get one for yourself! You will not regret it.

I purchased this toaster after reading Wirecutter reviews. It’s not fancy. No extra gizmos. But buttons are clear and do what they say they do. Toast comes out as chosen on a spin dial. Easy to clean. Especially like the CANCEL button to get the toast to pop up. Smooth as silk.

This toaster is nice to look at and heats very quickly. However, it's a little small. Even an English muffin sits at the very top of the heat and doesn't toast.

I dislike the top of the toaster because it collects crumbs in the indent the whole way around where the bread slices go. How am I supposed to clean that out without unplugging it constantly and turning it upside down? It's not the best design for ease of cleaning. And why isn't the crumb tray accessible from the front instead of the back of the toaster? That's inconvenient, too. Also the sides tend to not toast evenly. In all fairness, this was purchased to replace a very old toaster that was my father-in-law's that finally bit the dust. We've had it for 12 years and have no idea how long he owned it before then, but it was definitely when things were made to last.

1. Bagel setting is useless. It extends time and does not shut off one side. 2. Heater grids, while evenly spaced, don't toast evenly. A number of wire sections look like they were manually lifted away from the surface. These get hotter. 3. Even if toasting the same bread everyday you have to watch to prevent burnt toast. 4. The extra lift spring tension is too much and is able to lift the toaster off the counter before the bread gets lifted to the top. 5. I would give it five stars just for looks and design.
