While this may look like your mother's toaster, it's far from it. Cuisinart has combined classic styling with modern electronic technology to produce this handsome, chrome-plated toaster with powerful performance. The two toaster slots are wide enough to accommodate thick bagel halves or rustic bread slices; when they're done, they pop up close to the surface for easy removal. The browning control is simple and easy to use, and the well-spaced heating elements make for even browning overall. Added features include a defrost control for frozen items such as toaster pastries or waffles, and the reheat cycle will come handy in case your toast gets done before your eggs are scrambled. A crumb removal tray ensures easy cleanup--just slide out and dump. Keep the shiny metal surface glowing with the wipe of a damp cloth, and avoid abrasive powder cleaners or metal scrub pads. The handy cord-storage area underneath the toaster keeps your counter looking neat, because, of course, you're going to want to show this one off. --Marianne Painter

2.0 out of 5 stars Despite appearances, they don't make 'em like they used to, October 1, 2000

After my old toaster, which was given to my in-laws for a wedding gift in 1950, broke recently after 50 years of daily use, we spent hours researching toasters and ended up buying this one. WHAT A MISTAKE! My old toaster, after the repairs we later made to it, will be going strong long after this one is taking up landfill space; the quality and durability just don't compare, and the old toaster is designed to be repaired if it breaks. The Cuisinart, despite its relatively good warranty (3 years), is designed to be thrown away if it breaks. With the exception of the extra-wide slots and the slightly cooler exterior of the Cuisinart "Classic", the 50 year old toaster has more advanced features (a few examples of the many I might mention: the old toaster can make soft or crunchy toast of any degree of doneness, instead of limiting you to soft white toast or crunchy black toast, the crumb tray is better-designed, the toaster will keep the toast warm until needed, and it is...Read more

After falling in love with my Krups coffee maker, espresso machine, electric grill, and coffee grinder, I was dead-set on getting the little chrome Krups toaster. But this Cuisinart toaster just proves that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Unlike the Krups toaster, this Cuisinart has an extra-lift feature so you can get your bagels out without risking electrocution. Plus, unlike Mom's metal toaster, even if you cook three consecutive bagels on the highest setting, the chrome exterior stays cool. Last, the whole apparatus is quite small (about as long as most coffee makers), yet it is very stable due to an extra-heavy base. The only weak feature is the crumb tray: the apparatus doesn't smoothly glide in and out, doesn't do a great job keeping the crumbs in while removing, and is placed in the rear where it's hard to reach. This is really just a minor irritation, though--not enough to keep this great toaster from earning 5 stars.

When I purchased this toaster I expected just another utinsel with the name extention "Electronic" stuck on it. To my surprise it's like no other toaster I've had or had heard of. You are able to set the darkness control not by predetermined degrees but to any degree from light to dark that you desire. Normally when you toast a slice of bread, when finished, it has a hard texture. To my surprise with this Cuisinart Toaster the bread remains soft after toasting. The controls are simple and easy to set. The model I have is Polished Chrome. The over all appearance is one of beauty to behold and an asset to any kitchen.
