Very nice and compact, perfect for our small kitchen, and just the two of us. Specific settings for toast and for bagels is very convenient. Very good workmanship. And an outstanding value.

The first time we used the toaster it gave off a strong chemical odor. We immediately shut it off and put out on our porch. Once the toaster had cooled down, we tried it again. The same strong smell came out of the toaster. After ten tries and no lessening of the odor, we returned the toaster to the store and purchased a different brand. That new toaster worked fine. No bad chemical smell.

Toaster is great quality slots are bigger for bagels

We wanted a white toaster, and one with a reputable brand, so we chose the Cuisinart. It works well, as promised. However, the two sides of each toast slice have slightly inconsistent “colorings” — like lots of brands, unfortunately. My other quibble is that a thinner-than-usual slice winds up falling down on one side or the other of the “platform” the slice rests upon. Is there not some way for the slice to be grabbed/partially enclosed when you lower the slice to be toasted??? Please try!!!

Very pleased with this toaster. It does the job for the right price!
