 What happend to Cuisinart?? July 30, 2010
bobbijo
I always thought that when you bought a Cuisinart anything, you would be assured of high quality and reliability, so I never minded paying their higher price. I have used their food processer for many years and it is a workhorse in the kitchen but this toaster is a major dissappointment. The toast comes out ok but really...how hard is it to toast bread competently?? My gripe is that it is falling apart after less than two years of use. First the setting dial kept falling off.(We leave it off now and just use one setting) and yesterday the push-down lever fell out! Nothing seemed broken.. it just keeps falling out of the slot. We are only two adults... no kids use this so it is not abused. I noticed that Cuisinart now sells less-expensive "reconditioned" product in different packaging in discount and job-lot stores. I think it is all the same product. Must we keep filling up land-fills with cheaply made junk?? I am on my way to get a new one... NOT a Cuisinart!
Absolute piece of junk! :( July 28, 2010

We bought one of these toasters in February 2008 because the design fit in nicely with our remodeled kitchen. The toaster died in December 2009. It never did toast that evenly - the elements on the outside do not toast as much as the elements in the middle. I can live with that, but a $60 toaster should last more than two years IMHO. It just quit toasting on the outside elements and would no longer latch down to toast.
Since the toaster has a three year warranty, I got it replaced. But it cost me $13 to send the toaster to Conair (the parent company that owns Cusinart) and another $7 for shipping the warranty replacement to me. So after several weeks and $20 we received the new toaster in January 2010, which did not toast any better than the first toaster. Now this toaster has died exactly the same as the original toaster, except that this toaster only made it seven months before it quit working!
So I called customer service and they said they would replace it again but only if I send the defunct second toaster back to them. Why would I expect that another one of these pieces of junk would last any longer than the first two?? Just more cheap junk made in China destined for the landfill!!
If I could rate this product zero stars I would. Do not waste you $ on this cheap piece of junk!!! :(
Baffled... July 16, 2010

So, I bought a Black & Decker toaster that looked similar to this one and it didn't toast evenly so I returned it. I thought that perhaps I should spend a few extra dollars for the super cute Cuisinart. Wrong! I bought one and it only toasted one side of the bread. I returned it and held off on buying another one because I was just baffled by all of these dysfunctional toasters. Finally, today, I broke down and bought another Cuisinart thinking that perhaps I just got a bad apple, but this one only toasts one side of the bread as well. I would think that at the very least, a $60 toaster should toast both sides of your bread. If I could have given this toaster a lower rating, I would have. Ridiculous.
Toaster is Perfect July 11, 2010

This toaster has changed our lives! Finally, a toaster which makes perfect toast and bagels. We've tried several toasters before finding this one. You don't realize how good toast can make a great start to your day. I'm glad to have paid the extra money for a quality product. I also like the smaller and unique design. It is a perfect fit and functioning element in our busy kitchen.
 not that good for the price July 11, 2010

I've had toasters that worked better that were much cheaper. We bought this one for the stainless steel finish and the design, not to mention that it was highly rated, maybe even best rated, by Consumer Reports. But as far as its functionality, it doesn't do that good of a job on toast. We set for toast at setting 2 or 3, don't know how bad it would get if we used one of the higher settings. And like another reviewer said, I can't tell that the bagel setting makes any difference--shouldn't it just toast the cut side of the bagel? Well, it doesn't. One more complaint--sliced of wide loaves of bread need to be squeezed it. You'd think an expensive 2-slice toaster would at least accommodate typical bread sizes. We haven't replaced it, but we're not really satisfied customers either. And I'm speaking for my wife too, who is generally more in favor of form over function.
