Cuisinart 4-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster, White, CPT-142P1

Compact toaster. Cuisinart products have always been reliable and this toaster works as it should. I definitely would recommend this item both for its cost and looks.

It’s been a week and the verdict is very good! It’s a nice toaster but I forgot what it was like to have a four slice that’s not a narrow, long toaster rather than this shape but we’re getting used to cutting the large slices of bread in half to fit the toaster. It toasts great and it looks nice too…

I picked up the Cuisinart 4-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster (Black) over a year ago to replace our old unit and it’s been a solid addition to the kitchen. It’s simple to use, looks clean on the countertop, and has performed reliably for daily toast, bagels, and quick grilled sandwiches. 👍 Pros Compact design fits easily on the counter without taking up much space Even toasting results (consistently golden brown) Four slots handle multiple pieces at once — great for households of 2–4 Simple, intuitive controls — perfect for everyday use Affordable price point with solid performance Easy to clean crumb tray 👎 Cons Toasting speed is good, but not the fastest I’ve seen Plastic exterior feels a bit lightweight compared to metal models No advanced features (e.g., digital display or smart functions) — basic but effective Overall This Cuisinart toaster does exactly what it’s supposed to do: toast bread evenly and reliably with minimal fuss. If you want a no-nonsense, everyday toaster that fits nicely in a smaller kitchen space, it’s a great choice. Not a luxury appliance, but definitely solid value. Recommended for anyone who wants dependable toast without extra bells and whistles.

Works well and nice looking

Very nice.

Purchased this to replace a 12 year old 4 slice Cuisinart toaster that was a wedding present. The old toaster was awesome. It toasted perfectly, was easy to clean, and we never had an issue with it until one day when it started to smoke and was time to be replaced. I thought by ordering the new version of the same toaster that I would receive something of similar quality. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Upon opening you could just tell that this toaster wasn’t even close. The plastic and dials all feel cheap. It took about a week of pushing the levers down and turning the settings all the way up, multiple times a day, to burn off whatever coating is on the interior. Eventually, we started to use the toaster and it’s awful. There is no consistency with the dials. One day I’ll toast on 3 and will get a nice light golden toast. The next day I do the same and it barely looks toasted so I have to run it through again and guess on the dial setting so I don’t burn the bread. My wife likes her toast a little more well done. One day I’ll toast on 5 and it’s perfect and then the next day I’ll toast the exact same bread on 5 and it comes out burned. I’m so disappointed in this toaster. I expected more from Cuisinart, but I guess like many other companies they aren’t what they once were and are making cheap products with cheap materials at the expense of their reputation. Thats very disappointing, but a sign of the times I suppose. Oh well, I’m already shopping for a replacement and it won’t be a Cuisinart.

Very nice toaster recommended good price
