Cuisinart CPT-180BKS Basic 4-Slice Toaster, Black/Stainless Metal

It toast
The toast comes out perfect and it’s cute.

nice looking ut no weight to it at all
So far it works well. I can clean it east. It is what I call tinny. It is thin metal and has no weight. It looks good. Just very light

Worst toaster ever! I feel scammed out of $69
This toaster is very cheaply made and is not indicative of what Cuisinart products used to stand for. You can feel its cheapness in all aspects.1. Knobs spin wayyyyy too easily. I’ve tapped them not realizing multiple times, burning my bread.2. Bagel setting does nothing! It toasts on both sides.3. The listing states the slots are a wide 1.5 inches. This is true, however, the spring loaded cage inside the slots do not expand any more than 1.25 inches. This means you have to push your bagels or hamburger buns down. That in itself is no big deal, but they subsequently burn easily as the bread is too close to the heating element.4. It does not toast evenly so the bread has to be flipped half way through. The sample pictures show how one side is lightly burnt while the other side is fine when not flipped half way.5. As you can see in the first picture inside the toaster, the heating element heats unevenly. Sometimes the toast comes out fine but other times toast will be burnt in a section and not toast well in another section. It’s hit or miss with this thing.6. It toasts too quickly so the bread does not toast deep enough, causing the bread to collapse under the weight of a butter knife. So, between flips, I let the toast sit for a minute or two to sit in the residual heat. Then I resume toasting. But I don’t dare walk away!7. The knobs and levers and buttons and internal components are all creaky and clicky and unreliable. It screams cheap!8. The crumb catcher has to be accessed from the back! What?!!! And even worse, it doesn’t even catch half the crumbs so I’m always having to clean them up.I would value it at $10 and even then, it’s not worth all the annoyances of this product. I wish I had returned it because I feel scammed out of $69. I’ll likely throw it in the “free” box during my next yard sale and get a different brand for half the price.

Toast yes and nuisance too
OK, it’s a toaster and yes it toasts. But Cuisanart always manages to add some frustration. The toaster’s feet are fragile. They break off because the material thickness for the base is to weak, design short fall. And why does it have to draw current even when it’s not toasting. I’m not complaing about cost but why did they design it that way. I’m done repairing their design mistakes.

I did a ton of comparison shopping before buying this toaster. It’s always risky buying an appliance sight unseen, but we’ve been very happy with it. It toasts evenly, on both sides. The dial controls are easy to use.. although they do seem a bit loose and can accidently be turned by a brush of the arm.. you have to check them every time you pop your toast in.

Acheté pour remplacer un grille-pain d’Hamilton Beach. Là où mon ancien appareil prenait 3 minutes pour rôtir à un certain niveau certains types de pain, celui-ci en prend 2 ¼. Certains prétendent qu’une cuisson rapide permet de conserver une certaine tendreté au centre de la rôtie et je crois qu’ils ont raison. Les ‘toasts’ que je fais avec sont toutes excellentes, meilleures même. Avis aux intéressés.Je n’aurais pas payé plein prix pour un appareil semblable, surtout lorsqu’on peut obtenir un grille-pain 4 tranches pour une quarantaine de dollars. Acheté aux liquidations d’Amazon et très satisfait.
