Cuisinart 4-Slice Countdown Metal Toaster

Absolutely love this new toaster. Does sliced bread or bagels perfectly.

The toaster is not only attractive but it has a setting that is easy to choose the correct number for toast, muffins and bagels. Numbers 4 is perfect for toast but number 5 or 6 makes perfect English muffins.

Hold off on this for a bit, the toaster isn’t worth the price

I'm extremely happy with this toaster. It has just the right balance of features and simplicity. Its Bagel, Reheat, and Defrost are the most useful features for a toaster -- anything more is superfluous for most people. I really like the LCD display that counts down even though I prefer analog controls in my car dashboards and clocks. My only suggestion is to make the beeping at the end of the toasting optional. Very few people are going to leave the kitchen when toasting is active and the three beeps are kind of annoying in the serenity of the morning. The display is large enough to see when toasting is done and you can hear the toaster pop up under nearly all circumstances. Performance is very good as it toasts quite evenly and can handle thick slices and bagels. I also think it looks very sharp on our breakfast bar with its modern lines and display, but easy-functioning traditional buttons and levers for operation. The price was also very good for a toaster of this quality and functionality. Good job, Cuisinart!!
