Cuisinart CPT-122BK 2-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster, Black

I love my new Cuisinart 2-slice toaster. It toasts the bread evenly on both sides. I chose it because of the brand as I have another appliance that is also this brand. It’s stylish and the size is perfect. I like that it has a bagel, defrost, and reheat setting. Also the cancel button is very helpful. The slot width is great for all sizes of bread. I would definitely recommend this product!

It’s nothing fancy — but that’s why I love it. Toasts evenly, doesn’t take up much counter space, and looks clean in a modern kitchen. Great little toaster for the price.

Replaced previous toaster with this Cuisinart. Quality product featuring four toasting levels. Good product but do question why some toasting isn't more even, especially with a brand new product.

Compared to other Cuisinart toasters I have had in the past, I was extremely disappointed with the Cuisinart 2 slice toaster CPT-122BK model. Not sure if I just got a defective one or if they are all like that, but it didn't work correctly.The toaster itself is very lightweight & low quality compared to the others I have had. It looks good & the cord is a good length & can be contained underneath. I definitely recommend a removable crumb tray & it has one. It was packaged well & I had it delivered in an Amazon box. I like the cancel, bagel & defrost options & the wide slots - unfortunately, that's the only good things about it as it didn't toast as it should.I ran a couple cycles to burn off the manufacturing residue & tested the toaster with several different types/sizes/thickness of bread at the various heat settings - all had issues. Weirdly, the pieces of toast that I scraped off the burnt parts tasted like there was cinnamon on it & I was using Texas toast & peanut butter, so there shouldn't have been a cinnamon taste. The bread was still cold even though it was burnt. It appeared brand new in the box with all of the wrappings & no crumbs in it when I unboxed it, so I don't know what happened.The plastic sides of the toaster got very hot, even on the lowest setting. The lever isn't smoothe when you press it down & you can see the red heat elements through the lever slit in the plastic. Thicker bread doesn't pop up very much when it's done. The bread carriage doesn't hold the bread in the center of the slots & it didn't settle in the same spot every time.Toasting at level 1 or 2 doesn't get the bread toasted or warm. Level 2.5 - 3.5 burns one side of the bread while the other side isn't toasted at all. Turning it over to toast the other side ends up burning both sides. Anything higher makes charcoal. There's no control at all over the toast brownness because it goes from nothing to burnt in less than 1 level. Weirdly, even when the toast was burnt, the bread wasn't warm at all. The heat elements get really red & all seem to light up, but I don't know what makes the toaster do what it does at the lower heat levels.If you like burnt cold toast, you would probably like this defective toaster.I need to have a toaster that works correctly & consistently since we use it every day for multiple people & picky eaters.Thankfully, I am able to return the toaster without leaving my house - the UPS building is about 10 miles away from my house & I don't have a vehicle right now & we don't really have any public transportation options here. UPS will pick it up at some point tomorrow & being a label to put on it. Hopefully that goes smoothly! I have already ordered a different brand toaster that has 4.7 stars - hopefully I get one that actually works well, every time.

Simple little toaster is what was needed. It works great and has wide slots for bagels if that is your preference. I just use it for toast and I like to keep it on #2 for the perfect browning level that fits my need. Easy to wipe down and has removable crumb tray.I loved the look of this one even though it is a little larger than others on the market. I thought the price was a little higher than some of the cheaper models…..it’s a CUISINART and I expected to pay more and I’m happy with my choice and so glad it came in white.

I bought this 2 years ago to replace a 4 slice toaster to reduce the counter space it took up. The 4 slice was about 12yrs old & worked great. This Cuisinart got pretty good reviews for a medium priced toaster & Cuisinart is a well known brand for kitchen appliances. I was unhappy with it from the start. It felt cheaply made - very light weight, a knob that is so loose, that it’s hard to keep it at the chosen setting. It does not toast evenly - the corners get more done than the rest of the slice. I found that if I use the lightest setting, then flip & rotate each slice then toast again on lowest setting, I can get close to what I want. I’m not sure what the Bagel setting is supposed to do, but it doesn’t seem like it is any different from the regular setting. Most toasters indicate how to place the bagel & then doesn’t toast or lightly toasts the split side of the bagel. There is no indication (maybe in the directions, which I tossed.) I checked to see if one side of coils was different than the other. I also have tried putting the cut side in and also the cut side out - no difference.

I got this toaster and it did not work well . But I sent it back and they change it for another toaster .I got another toaster .I love this toaster they didn't give any problem when I sent it back.i would buy this toaster again.

It's a toaster. It toasts bread. If that's all you want, this will do the job.I like bagels, and I value even toasting. That's where this toaster loses me. First, it toasts both sides of a bagel instead of just the insides. This makes the outside of the bagel less soft and changes the flavor of any seeds or nuts on the surface of the bagel. I'm not sure what difference there is between having the bagel button on or off, but it DOES NOT prevent the outsides of the bagel from being toasted.Second, half of the slice is significantly darker than the other, and this happens in both sides of the toaster (both slices) and on both sides of each slice. That's so annoying, because I bought this toaster for it's reputation of toasting evenly.I wish I didn't throw away my old toaster already. It didn't toast evenly anymore, and it slightly burned rough edges, but it toasted way more evenly than this brand new toaster. Such a disappointment.
