While this may look like your mother's toaster, it's far from it. Cuisinart has combined classic styling with modern electronic technology to produce this handsome, chrome-plated toaster with powerful performance. The two toaster slots are wide enough to accommodate thick bagel halves or rustic bread slices; when they're done, they pop up close to the surface for easy removal. The browning control is simple and easy to use, and the well-spaced heating elements make for even browning overall. Added features include a defrost control for frozen items such as toaster pastries or waffles, and the reheat cycle will come handy in case your toast gets done before your eggs are scrambled. A crumb removal tray ensures easy cleanup--just slide out and dump. Keep the shiny metal surface glowing with the wipe of a damp cloth, and avoid abrasive powder cleaners or metal scrub pads. The handy cord-storage area underneath the toaster keeps your counter looking neat, because, of course, you're going to want to show this one off. --Marianne Painter

2.0 out of 5 stars
Despite appearances, they don't make 'em like they used to,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cuisinart CPT-70 Classic Style Toaster (Kitchen)
After my old toaster, which was given to my in-laws for a wedding gift in 1950, broke recently after 50 years of daily use, we spent hours researching toasters and ended up buying this one. WHAT A MISTAKE! My old toaster, after the repairs we later made to it, will be going strong long after this one is taking up landfill space; the quality and durability just don't compare, and the old toaster is designed to be repaired if it breaks. The Cuisinart, despite its relatively good warranty (3 years), is designed to be thrown away if it breaks. With the exception of the extra-wide slots and the slightly cooler exterior of the Cuisinart "Classic", the 50 year old toaster has more advanced features (a few examples of the many I might mention: the old toaster can make soft or crunchy toast of any degree of doneness, instead of limiting you to soft white toast or crunchy black toast, the crumb tray is better-designed, the toaster will keep the toast warm until needed, and it is possible to heat just one slot, as well as just one side of each slice of bread.) The Cuisinart also takes twice as long to toast the bread. Worst of all, the toast that comes out of this thing is terrible--frequently it is white on one side and almost burnt on the other; even at its best, it makes toast with dark and light stripes (from the heating element) instead of toast that's a nice even brown like my old toaster made. The toast is inconsistent from batch to batch. The much-touted defrost function doesn't do anything except cook the toast a little longer, and the reheat function doesn't keep the heat on for long enough to make the toast any warmer than it was. I know from our research that many people love this toaster, but I can't imagine what kind of horrible toasters they must have had previously if the Cuisinart is an improvement for them! If our culture understood how to make a decent toaster 50 years ago, why doesn't anyone know how to make one anymore?

More than just a pretty face,
This review is from: Cuisinart CPT-70 Classic Style Toaster (Kitchen)
After falling in love with my Krups coffee maker, espresso machine, electric grill, and coffee grinder, I was dead-set on getting the little chrome Krups toaster. But this Cuisinart toaster just proves that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Unlike the Krups toaster, this Cuisinart has an extra-lift feature so you can get your bagels out without risking electrocution. Plus, unlike Mom's metal toaster, even if you cook three consecutive bagels on the highest setting, the chrome exterior stays cool. Last, the whole apparatus is quite small (about as long as most coffee makers), yet it is very stable due to an extra-heavy base. The only weak feature is the crumb tray: the apparatus doesn't smoothly glide in and out, doesn't do a great job keeping the crumbs in while removing, and is placed in the rear where it's hard to reach. This is really just a minor irritation, though--not enough to keep this great toaster from earning 5 stars.

More than I had expected,

This review is from: Cuisinart CPT-70 Classic Style Toaster (Kitchen)
When I purchased this toaster I expected just another utinsel with the name extention "Electronic" stuck on it. To my surprise it's like no other toaster I've had or had heard of. You are able to set the darkness control not by predetermined degrees but to any degree from light to dark that you desire. Normally when you toast a slice of bread, when finished, it has a hard texture. To my surprise with this Cuisinart Toaster the bread remains soft after toasting. The controls are simple and easy to set. The model I have is Polished Chrome. The over all appearance is one of beauty to behold and an asset to any kitchen.
