LOVE AT FIRST TOAST
I got this toaster almost 7 years ago while living alone and subsisting on bagles as a primary food group. Once my husband and I married and moved in together, the toaster got twice as much use; and with the addition of our daughter and her love for toaster waffles, it has seen even more wear and tear. AND, after all these years, we have not had a single problem with it toasting properly. We have been very happy with it! I see that a lot of other people have left reviews that it doesn't toast evenly, but we have never had that problem. I love the chrome exterior and the retro style, too. My only complaint is that it is a little difficult to clean, but since we only use it for bread items, I don't get overly concerned about the crumbs that I can't remove. WE LOVE OUR TOASTER! Doesn't toast the tops The toasting slots are too shallow. When I use normal, presliced bread, the top half-inch of my toast doesn't get toasted at all. If you like burnt toast, this is for you Personally, I don't like burnt toast and hate this toaster. I thought buying a Cuisinart toaster would insure a lasting appliance. I may as well have spent $10 at a discout store. I have had this toaster for a bit over 3 years. We don't toast often, but for the last year I have been tolerant of popping up the toast half-way through to see if it is ready as if I wait for the machine despite any setting it will burn. Very disappointing for an appliance that is supposed to have a good reputation. Two starts as it did work fine for 2 years. If you can find a better toaster, buy it, but good luck finding such a rariety! I dont think it was as bad as the reviews imply. I've had mine about 6 months now and it still works fine, the only complaint I have is about the settings as one person said it can be the exact same on both sides and yet one side will "burn" and one be "underdone". I just adjusted these and turned them so they both cook whatever I'm making right, even though it is off by one number compared to the other side. So thats a fluke for sure which would make it worth buying one without any problems, but frankly I've yet to find such a toaster. Other then that I've had no problems with this one, I love the look and style of it as well it is so cute and practical other then the above problem. I would recommend this toaster but as I got it as a gift I probably wouldnt spend the $50 but would gladly pay $30 for it. I dont think you can really find a better toaster I've done the cheap kmart specials and frankly those dont last as long as this has without much worse problems or burning. Not durable and toasts unevenly. Don't be fooled. Waste of your money. The classic style is a cheap imitation of better quality toasters made 50 years ago. Failed after 1 year. Can't be repaired. | |
