I have had my Cuisinart for about 6 months and am very pleased with it. I usually toast one slice and have never had a toaster that does a good job of that, but this one does. If the bread is extremely fresh, you do have to lower the darkness level, but that's normal for any toaster. I like the layout of the controls, and the defrost option is good for toasting bread that's been in the freezer, without having to thaw it first. I like the appearance, too, but the main appeal is the consistently good results.

During 3 years of owning this toaster we had to get it replaced twice. Both times the knob for pushing down the toast broke. What an annoyance! However, when it was working, this toaster made very good toast, and warmed bagels just fine. It has a very nice appearance, and I must say the Cuisinart company was good about replacing their product. Now if they could just figure out a way to improve that knob .....

With the flying toast from my Cuisinart CPT-60 toaster, my life began to feel like an episode of I Love Lucy. When I looked for a control to adjust the spring, I discovered that it doesn't exist. I decided to give it time, maybe it just needed some breaking in. It's 2 years later and I'm happy to say, that finally, the toast stays put. I would have returned the toaster right away if it weren't for it's space saving design, superb bagel toasting ability and it's great looks. Oh yeah, it's easy to keep clean, too!

I had high hopes. It looks like a perfect toaster. It can handle two bagel halves easily, a super long sour dough, or two pieces of regular sandwhich bread. It has was appears to be useful setting buttons. But in the end, it toasts unevenly. VERY unevenly. As a rule, it burns the top and fails entirely to tast the bottom. So unless you plan to hover over you toast and flip it, I'm afraid this isn't the unit for you.

After years of good toast, but a broken, ugly toaster, my husband finally bought us this new toaster. The first time I used it filled our home with a very strong burned plastic smell. I couldn't find any plastic in the unit at all, so I figured maybe it was just because it was the first use of the toaster (although that still didn't seem right). I gave it two more tries, and STILL get a bunt-plastic smell (though not as strong as the first time). Anyone else experience this??? The toast burned also! It has a fancy-sounding "custom control" feature. Well, this only works if the toaster remains plugged in. Once the toaster is unplugged,you lose all of your settings. Here's the caveat--the instruction manual tells you top unplug the toaster when not in use!! Huh???? I called the custumer service #, and after 3 tries finally got a nice lady who told me to return to to the store and get something else. It is boxed up and ready to go! No more cuisinart for us!!!

We have had one for 2-3 years. It has failed.

Before it failed, it seldom produced an even browning. I normally toast a single slice. The edges come out much darker than the center. The "1 slice" button did not improve this or have any noticable effect.

By far this is the best toaster we've ever owned! It's very consistent and its features are superb. The reheat feature has proven to be very useful.

I bought this exact model over seven years ago and replaced it just this year due to a tiny part that broke on the carriage. This is by far the best toaster I have owned, and more. I love the easy touch button controls and that they function perfectly every time, and I use all the controls from 1 slice, bagel, frozen, reheat, lighter and darker, and even cancel occasionally. I love the clean sleek appearance and how easy it is to keep clean, even the crumb tray is easy to remove and cleans with a quick wipe. I'm proud to have it displayed on my counter and plugged in to keep my used settings.I am now getting this model for my son and his wife; they get bakery thick bagels that don't fit in their old toaster, not even half, and they will also like the frozen and reheat feature. If my present toaster fails after the three year warranty, I will certainly buy another just like it.

I've been using this toaster for 3 years. I am a electronic fan, and this is the smartest toaster I've ever used. You tell it what you want, and it gives you a perfect shade of the bagel or toast. For frozen bagel, press defrost. For reheat a toast without adding extra shade, press reheat. For toast one slice only, press one slice. The best part is, all these buttons can be selected at the same time, and the toaster will complete each steps. Simply press defrost, one slice, shade 4, drop in the bagel, and it will give you a perfectly defrost and then toasted one.

Too bad I don't find product with this smart features on market anymore. I would love get extra as chrismas gift.

Reviewers seem to either love or hate their toaster - I hate mine. It takes forever to toast a slice of bread, toasts it unevenly, makes a horrible popup sound and makes the next slices darker. The one-slice feature makes no difference I can see, I have to hit cancel instead of manually popping toast up when smoke begins to roll from the toaster and we are down to 2 lights for regular toast as the toast continues to get darker for the same setting over time. I trusted the Cuisinart name for this product, but never again.
