Ok I have had mine for almost a year and we don't use it very much so it's not wore out by any means. I purchased this toaster because you can set two piece of toast for one setting the other two for a different setting. My husband was making breakfast and insisted that the toaster was broken and I thought surely not we've used it a dozen times at most what could be wrong with it. One side of the toaster was barely red and then the other wasn't coming on. None of the buttons would work or anything. I paid $50 to toast two loafs of bread. I haven't tried to return it yet but I have a feeling this close to the one year anniversary I'm out of luck. I would not recommend purchasing this toaster. I think I'm going to try the KitchenAid toaster next.

Contrary to what Gary inferred,that we are all idiots and don't know how to set the toaster for anything but bagels, I have tried every setting and have had no success in getting the toaster to toast evenly on both sides without turning the bread or bagel around or putting it into the other slots. Electronic appliances are supposed to make our lives easier. This appliance is like operating a life sustaining piece of equipment such as a venitlator. Cuisinart does not make quality appliances like they used to and I will not buy another appliance from them.

I bought this toaster because I wanted a 4-slice toaster, the black color matched my other kitchen appliances, and because it was more attractive and subtle in appearance than a lot of other toasters I looked at. But it's true; it only toasts one side of the bread! When we make toast, we have to toast it on one side, and then take the bread out and turn it around to toast it on the other side! Another minor thing we don't like about the toaster is that the numerical settings for how light/dark you want the toast are orange numbers that light up. That tends to grab your eye, making the toaster more of a focal point in the kitchen than one might want it to be.

I purchased a new $30.00 2-slice Oster toaster with bagle function and returned it after two days. It would burn the the back side of the bagel and only toast one side of bread sufficiently, leaving the other side undone and was just plain cheaply made. I missed having a 4-slice especially with other family members living us now, including a child. I found this 4-slice Cusinart on sale and paid only $10 more than the cheap Oster. I love this toaster! Everything toasts to perfection, and has the wonderful "lift" function to get smaller pieces out. I make alot of egg muffins so I really enjoy this feature. Having a 3-year warranty is a real plus, especially since there are so many cheap, non-functional toasters today. I had a Black & Decker 4 slice that lasted about 2 years and thought it did a good job until I bought this Crusinart, it's great! Recommend it for anyone who lives for a toaster, like we do here!

I purchased my toaster 9 months ago. Over the past two weeks, whenever we toast something, it comes out tasting like melted plastic. Finally this morning it started smoking. I'm looking for my warranty information now to see if I can get my money back. I bought this one because it came in black and I thought Cuisinart made quality products. I guess I should have stuck with the 10 year-old inexpensive Black and Decker model I had.

Please read all reviews. We have a similar Cuisinart toaster and it does not toast evenly. A very poor product.

Finally a toaster that works ~~ setting #4 makes a perfect piece of toast ~~ with setting #6 you can actually burn the toast if you want!!!

we have had this toaster before... my only complaint is that it doesn't toast both sides of the bread evenly...

We got this toaster to match our black appliances - not from rave reviews - and we've regretted it since day one.

The bread has never toasted evenly. There is a slot to toast one piece of bread only, but when used, it slightly browns one side of the bread and does nothing to the other.

I would not recommend this toaster to anyone!

The first unit received from Amazon was returned as two of the toaster's slots did not toast one side of the bread as evenly as the other two slots. The replacement unit suffers from the same problem.

Apparently Amazon is selling defective units. I would not recommend this toaster.
