Cheap but good

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2024

My initial impression of this toaster was that if felt cheap and flimsy. However, I've been using it for over a year now, and it hasn't let me down yet. I use it mainly for waffles, occasionally for Pop-Tarts. It does a good job with both. It's easy to clean, and I appreciate its compact dimensions. It's styling is... okay. Looks low rent next to stainless steel, but, at this price point, I can't complain!

Ultimately, I can't find anything wrong with it. It succeeds perfectly at being a small, simple, affordable toaster.

Not durable

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024

The toaster worked decently at first and was very cheap. My family likes to toast stuff (including two children), so it got very regular use for the last year. Over the past few months the mechanism that stops the toast from popping and activates the heating element has been failing, becoming a very frustrating experience for whoever is using it. I can imagine it lasting longer with gentler use, and the price point is such that I'm not outraged, but don't be surprised if yours doesn't last very long.

It toasts bread exactly as I want; I have not tried bagels or waffles yet.

When my 20 year old all metal toaster recently retired, amidst a lot of smoke and screaming alarms, I wanted to go buy another one. My $7.00 toaster is no longer made, nor is the company still American made and American manufactured. Research indicates none fit that requirement. So I began looking at reviews and never realized toasting bread had evolved into haute cuisine. They actually made and sell $200 toasters? Anyway, I digress. After a lot of research I bought this toaster. I inserted by first two slices and threw them away, because that was my plan from the start. Anything new should give a trial run, simply for taste, hygiene, and possible packaging residue. It also told me the medium setting was a little light for my taste. I bumped it up a smidgen and got exactly what I wanted. As others have mentioned, the dial to change browning is VERY sensitive and easy to bump by accident, so once you find your exact setting, don't handle the toaster roughly or it will change. I am very pleased with my purchase and didn't have to take out a home equity loan to buy it.

Decent toaster, decent price!

Don’t let the bad reviews intimidate you—I was skeptical at first, but the fact that I couldn’t find ANY toaster with near-perfect ratings (from a reputable brand)—aside from those in the $100 range made me rethink my options; all I want is a toaster with basic functions that won’t break after a couple years. Since this toaster is not only reasonably priced, as well as consistently well-rated from tester sites for appliances, I decided to take a chance on it.

It is exactly what I’m looking for: a straightforward toaster with all the basic toaster functions (toast, bagel, defrost, reheat), and in a price range that makes sense for a small appliance that does one thing—toast bread. Additionally, it’s small, has an easily accessible crumb tray, is quiet, and the sides remain cool when toasting.

But the best feature is how FAST it toasts! I find it takes a minute, maybe a little more or less, depending the setting.

Its toast levels (1 - 5) give pretty distinct toast results from each level, and it toasts fairly evenly, if the pieces fit entirely into the slots—which are not long, but are just big enough to hold a bagel slice.

The settings aren’t as effective as I’d like, however; for example, I find the “Frozen” setting isn’t all that different from the “Toast” setting, since toasting frozen waffles using both settings yielded similar results. The “Bagel” setting also tends to toast both sides, but maybe it’s due to the fact I like to use the higher, level 4 setting.

In all, I find the positives outweigh the negatives, although I suppose it depends upon what you’re looking for. I was looking for a decent toaster for a decent price—and I found it!

UPDATE: After all the abuse I’ve subjected this toaster to, it’s still going strong! I am not the best at “maintaining” appliances (okay, cleaning out the tray) but it’s never given me problems. I’ve even crammed buns that are slightly too-big and specialty bread slices (think thick sweet slices of orange-cranberry toast, cheese, cinnamon) and again, zero issues in terms of getting stuck-on food inside. It’s been really quite reliable and I know once this thing gives in I’ll likely but another one.

It looks great, controls are good, but it still does not toast evenly on both sides.
This is a replacement for their same model, but about 10 years older. I replaced this
for a newer model but ended up with the same problems.

Works well and durable--our prior one lasted seven years

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023

Color: BlackSize: 2-SliceStyle: ToasterVerified Purchase

We bought this to replace the same model Cuisinart toaster that lasted almost seven years until the mechanism that holds the lever down failed (probably due to misuse) and we could only use the toaster if we held the lever down as the bread toasted. We found that the bread toasted slightly more on one side (presumably because the bread wasn't positioned exactly between the coils) but that wasn't a serious problem. This one toasts more evenly, so they either improved manufacturing tolerances or we just got lucky with the particular toaster we got. I did notice that the lever pushes down more smoothly on this one than our old one, which gives a nicer feel when pushing the toast down.

The only other small complaint we had with our previous Cuisinart toaster is that crumbs don't always drop through to the tray at the bottom, so bits of toast can get stuck and burn unless you invert and shake the toaster to work them loose. If you buy pre-sliced bread or white bread, this probably isn't an issue. But if you bake fairly dry whole-grain bread that's kind of "flakey," it's a bit of an inconvenience.

We considered many other toasters and would have been willing to spend more, but the more expensive ones often didn't get good reviews for reliability and we read an article that said they use the same cooking coil and mechanism as this one, so we thought we'd just stick with what worked pretty well in the past. We considered a professional toaster, but they seemed to all be the kind that use a conveyer belt, which would be overkill for toasting two slices of bread at a time and take up too much counter space.

Nice Quality Toaster

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024

Color: BlackSize: 2-SliceStyle: ToasterVerified Purchase

I am very happy with this Toaster. I have other Cuisinart appliances and find them all to be consistently good design and quality. The toaster is great for everyday use and has slots that will accommodate not only various types of breads, but Bagels, English Muffins, Pop Tarts and more. I like the dial for varying degrees of lightness and darkness and the option for different breads. Consistent toasting. Sleek clean look. Fast shipping and great product, Thank you Seller!

I just love this! I had my old one for years and I struggled all the time with thicker slices of bread. This one has no problem at all, the thicker slices fit, it toasts them nicely and faster than I was used to and it looks elegant. It’s very quiet so sometimes I have to check if the bread is ready but it’s overall a great product.

I was used to a toaster oven and thought this might be a step down. It is not a step down. It does a great job and is easy to use and does a great job on different bread types and shapes of bread.

I had this toaster for many years with no problems. This purchase was a replacement because the kids put their toast in it with butter already on it and gunked it up

Beautiful white bright color. Doesn't take up as much room as your average toaster. Easy clean. Timer has seemed to be perfect!
