Cuisinart 4 Slice Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless, CPT-180P1

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Nice4 slice toaster. It even has a button for pop before the time is up Toasting ability:A little on the lite side. Haven’t been able to burn anything yetSlot size:waffles work

While it's just a toaster, it's a very nice one. I bought it for the retro look, and because it matches my other stainless steel appliances, and it looks quite nice left on the ccountertop.The bread slice holes could be a smidge wider to accommodate hamburger buns, but otherwise it's perfect.The toaster is solid! It's a nice weight, it feels like a higher quality appliance as compared to the cheaper toasters I've had, and I like that the rubber feet really do their job; this toaster won't slide around. It's got multiple settings (bagel, defrost, reheat) and the one for bagels toasts more slowly so the outside of your bagel won't burn before it gets warmed. The reheat feature works similarly. A cancel button if you need it will pop your bread up, and the darkness knobs are very sensitive. Whatever your toast color preference, you can get it with this toaster.Finally, the clean out for this toaster is a breeze with slide out trays (see photo) that come all the way out with no bothersome clips to fuss with, and can be cleaned. All in all, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

It delivers its job the way you spend.

Our daughter has this model toaster. We liked it and so we bought one too. Hers looks identical but she got hers about ten years before we did and hers is better made than ours. Its springs are firmer and its knobs turn more smoothly. Ours feels a bit flimsy and cheap by comparison. The knobs are loose and the spring mechanisms have a slight jiggle too. But we've had it for four years now and it hasn't broken, so I'm giving it four stars but deducting one star on the expectation that her toaster will probably outlast ours.

I had previously purchased the 435 model of Cuisinart toaster and it lasted 12 years. One of the buttons melted, but it was my fault, so I can't fault the toaster, but did want a new toaster as we were going to be remodeling my kitchen. I saw this model and saw many great reviews, so after reading about man other toasters, I decided to buy this toaster. First off, it is not as sturdy as I expected, compared to the previous Cuisinart model. Everything about it seems kind of cheap. I am from a generation where things were actually made to last, so things these days most of the time do not fulfill that from the jump. This toaster simply does not toast correctly. It burns the edges and the center is cooked correctly. It doesn't matter how much adjusting you do, it just doesn't toast correctly, so that is a bare minimum requirement for me. Secondly, the bagel setting does not seem to work like the other model and just toasts the bread exactly like regular toast, so not sure why it is even a setting. I will be buying another toaster soon as I don't like burnt toast or crummy eggo waffles when I make them on occasion. I wish I could give another recommendation, but I will be back to the drawing board when I start my search again in the near future. Even the most expensive toaster brands seem to have negative reviews, so this was why I went with this brand and model. I do not recommend it for others to purchase and I'm not sure why there are so many good reviews as I don't think I got a lemon, it just isn't that great.

Great toaster! I highly recommend it!

This toaster lasted 10 months. One of the elements came loose and fell into the bottom, and of course the return period has passed. I have ordered another of the same in case this was a fluke, because its an attractive toaster and otherwise worked well. Plus the price fell $20 since my last order.
