What Others Say
Does not toast evenly
I have always liked Delonghi toasters. But, this one does not toast the bread evenly. One side of toast is not toasted when the other side is ready. I have to change bread sides during the toasting process and this is cumbersome.
disappointed
I thought that this (a 2 slicer)would be the answer to "my prayers for a perfect toaster." it isn't. I thought that it had long slots for bakery bread, it doesn't. the wide slots do not toast both sides the same on "regular" width bread. It does toast, sort of ok. But it is not up to what I expected from my experience with other DeLonghi products I have purchased. Really disappointed.
Toast size matters
With my last 3 toasters I have had to rotate the toast half way through toasting to be sure the top 20% of the slice was done. This time I decided to get the toaster with the largest toasting depth. Unfortunately that dimension is not defined in any toaster specs. that I could find. Therefore I visited every store appliance store in our area and measured the effective toasting depth on every display model. Most toasters have a toasting depth of 4.0 ins. to 4.25 ins. The DeLonghi has a toasting depth of 5.0 ins. I bought it and my toasting problem has been solved.
Doesn't Toast
I bought this for work and when it pops up, the bread/bagel is not toasted. I have to try a 2nd time to toast it and finally it works. Waste of money. I'm replacing it with another toaster.
Refurbished is a GOOD THING
My husband bought this toaster refurbished. I was apprehensive about this. However, the product came in mint condition. So we now have a perfect, expensive toaster, but paid a quarter of the original price. The toaster is a great one - probably would have bought it at full price, too. The defrost works great. Love all the settings. You can't go wrong with DeLonghi CTH2003 Esclusivo Pro-Metal 2-Slice Toaster.
