Customer Reviews

Great toaster with great looks
What can I say but I love it! The sleek black chrome face does not leave you with a surface that is hard to keep clean. The toast comes out perfect and is easier to get the toast out by raising the lever. I am very pleased with this item so I also brought the electric kettle and the die-cast can opener and could not be happier with this brand.

Not worth it
This toaster looks great! but neither slot will brown both sides of toast. I tried it on both fresh and frozen bread with no luck after numerous attempts. Not worth the $60, so I returned it and pulled my cheap plastic toaster out of the closet and got back to having evenly browned toast!

A pricey toaster that doesn't toast correctly
I too shelled out extra money to get a "quality" toaster and found that no matter what type of bread or setting I use it seems to have only two results: barely warm or burned on one side. Anything higher than 2 seems to burn, so I have to have it on the lowest setting, stand by the toaster and repeatedly toast it, switching the bread around (only the middle sides toast) and monitor carefully so it doesn't burn. Irritating. Wide slots are nice for bagels, but I too found it doesn't take many breads longer than your "wonder bread" square size unless you cut the ends off or put it in sideways so the edge sticks out and doesn't get toasted. The settings such as "defrost" and "bagel" don't make any difference as far as I can tell. I can't believe how difficult it is to make a toaster that toasts correctly. We're not talking rocket science, here. Maye there was a bad batch from the Cuisinart factory, but I certainly got one of them.
