CPT-122BK 2-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster, Slots for Bagels & Bread, 7 Shade Settings, Cancel/Defrost/Reheat Functions, Removable Crumb Tray, Small Kitchen Appliance for Home & Office, Black

I originally purchased this toaster because how compact it is. Any appliance needs to justify the footprint that it takes up in a small kitchen, and this was a perfect fit. But I was also looking for a toaster that had gotten good reviews and recommendations. I'd had this on my list for a while, but the push was catching it on sale. I'm so glad that I finally purchased it. I thought my old toaster was pretty good, but the Cuisinart compact toaster showed me I was wrong. Finally I have evenly toasted bread, instead of the splotchy job the old one it replaced did. I like that the plunger handle can also provide that extra bit of lift out of the toasting chamber, so that small slices are easier to grab. Like all new electric appliances, there's a bit of manufacturing residue that burns off the first time you use it. I recommend running it for a minute (under a watchful eye) just to burn that off. Then you're ready to do with beautifully toasted bread. I suggest starting with a setting of between 2 to 3 to get the hang of the darkness setting. The electric cord is quite stiff, but works fine. Time will tell how everything holds up. This is still just a week old, so I'll report back if something changes. Otherwise, I like what I've seen thus far.

Very nice simple toaster. Wide slots for bagels. Toasts range from light to dark. Cool to the touch. If you like simple, efficient appliances, this is the toaster for you.

This toaster works well and toasts evenly. The only downside to it is the knob to adjust the toasting is very loose. If you barely touch it, it moves. The color goes with my kitchen and it’s not too large to take up too much counter space. It definitely toasts two thick full size pieces of toast or a bagel.

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.

Fast shipping, great price. There was no odor opening the box at all. I like the appearance of it. It looks and seem durable and will last awhile. It does hold a bagel well. It doesn't get stuck. I like the different toast settings on it. It doesn't take long to get it to the browning I want it to be. So timing is perfect. I like the slot on the bottom to hold the cord as well.

I really tried to find something wrong with this, but I couldn’t. I was bitter from buying a $10 toaster from Walmart, just to replace it within 30 days with this lovely toaster. Nice wide slots, it has a council button so you don’t have to pull up on the lever. It’s got a couple of their settings that I probably won’t use, but I’m satisfied with the overall layout overall k, quality and features.

This toaster is just OK, I wouldn't buy it again because it toasts unevenly, one side is much darker than the other so if you try flipping to do the other side the well done side burns. I've tried many differrent settings without any luck.

LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY. MY RETURN WINDOWS CLOSED MARCH 29. STOPPED WORKING APRIL 6 I AM WRITING TO SAY THAT AFTER CONTACTING CUISINART AND EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM, THEY DID STAND BY THEIR WARRANTY AND SHIPPED ME A NEW TOASTER. SO FAR, SO GOOD. WE'LL SEE HOW LONG IT LASTS.

Es algo voluminoso, pero para lo que es funciona perfecto. Siempre he tenido algo de problema con el hecho de que en cualquier tostador siempre se llena por dentro de migajas. Pero este al menos tiene el plus de que por debajo hay una bandeja que uno puede quitar para limpiar las migajas que le caigan. Tiene varias funciones, aunque en realidad solo lo usamos para tostar. Quisimos este porque precisamente estaba muy bien reseñado en The Wirecutter para tostar correctamente, y así ha sido hasta ahora. Muy recomendable :)

Toasts bread, bagels and English muffins evenly and to a consistent toasted level. Doesn't take up a lot of room on the counter. Easy to clean.

Ok

En general bastante bien. Comprado en noviembre 2019 y en diciembre 2021 las resistencias de la parte centrales dejaron de funcionar (la típica rotura del cable-resistencia que no se puede arreglar sin un empalme metálico imposible de encontrar). Ahora calienta solo en los bordes y tenemos que darle la vuelta al pan para que se tueste de ambos lados. El uso de malos materiales parece por desgracia ser la norma ahora, incluso en las tostadoras caras. Pero que funcione solo 2 años es realmente escandaloso (solo usamos un pinza de bambú para sacar el pan, sin maltrato especial).

Los primeros usos doraban más un lado o una parte del pan, de una forma muy dispareja. Conforme se ha ido usando, ha trabajado de manera más uniforme. No sé si tenga que ver con poner a punto de uso las resistencias pero después de la primer semana ha funcionado muy bien.
