Cuisinart Toasters 4 Slice Countdown Metal Toaster, New, CPT-435P1

I'm delighted with my toaster! I have been a Cuisinart fan for years…my last toaster lasted almost 10 years and that's why I'm a repeat customer. Their products are high quality, designed well and the longevity of their products keeps me coming back

I'm extremely happy with this toaster. It has just the right balance of features and simplicity. Its Bagel, Reheat, and Defrost are the most useful features for a toaster -- anything more is superfluous for most people. I really like the LCD display that counts down even though I prefer analog controls in my car dashboards and clocks. My only suggestion is to make the beeping at the end of the toasting optional. Very few people are going to leave the kitchen when toasting is active and the three beeps are kind of annoying in the serenity of the morning. The display is large enough to see when toasting is done and you can hear the toaster pop up under nearly all circumstances. Performance is very good as it toasts quite evenly and can handle thick slices and bagels. I also think it looks very sharp on our breakfast bar with its modern lines and display, but easy-functioning traditional buttons and levers for operation. The price was also very good for a toaster of this quality and functionality. Good job, Cuisinart!!

Great toasting following review comments to adjust level for bagels (5-6) and English muffins (6) after a couple of test rounds. Same for bread toasting requiring (4-5) level to your desired doneness. Toast carriage lift feature very convenient for English muffins and bagels. I like the signal when done while tending other breakfast tasks. Looking forward to reheating homemade waffles.

The toaster is not only attractive but it has a setting that is easy to choose the correct number for toast, muffins and bagels. Numbers 4 is perfect for toast but number 5 or 6 makes perfect English muffins.

This is a Great Bread & Bagel Toaster! The slide out crumb trays are awesome. After one gets used to the new appliance, it is easy to use all the fabulous settings. I have not “over done” any breads yet!

We are very pleased with this purchase. Having four slots means one of us doesn't have to wait if we both want a bagel for breakfast! The toaster is attractive and is unobtrusive on the counter.

Has all the features that I want. I have found that even at the highest setting (7) it doesn't fully toast a couple of slices of sourdough bread. I guess it depends on the moisture content of the bread. I haven't toasted a bagel or English muffin yet, but the defrost feature works well.

A very nice toaster ruined by the unnecessary and unwanted completion bell that is so loud that the unit is unusable until everyone in the house is fully awake. And bonus - there is no way to silence it!

We had this same model, but in the automatic version (no longer available), which lasted about 6 years. Bought this model, so that my 93-year-old mother would not have to learn how to operate a different toaster. All four slots have uneven toasting--either the back or front side of the bread does not toast, or the left or right side of the bread does not toast. Totally unsatisfactory for any toaster AND especially for a $100.00 Cuisinart. Toasters have been on the market for something like 100 years. Can't understand why something so simple cannot operate reliably. Returning this and looking for a less expensive brand.

I have had two identical Cuisinart 4-slice toasters, both with the same problem. I will not try another, despite whatever other reviews are. In both toasters, with slices for four pieces of toast (four slots totaling eight sides), one of the eight sides of one of the slots for browning, does not heat properly. In that slot, one side of that toast is virtually untoasted. It is exactly the same slot and same side of the slot in both toasters.
