Cuisinart CPT-180WP1 4-Slice Metal Classic Toaster, White/Stainless Steel

love this one so much I bought another one for the church

Works well

The only thing I didn’t like about this toaster initially that when you push the lever down to make toast, if you push push too hard, it doesn’t catch you have to push it very slowly and gently. It seems to have a lot of play, which I’m not sure it should. But it’s been working just fine.

We've had this Cuisinart Metal Classic 4 Slice Toaster for about six weeks after our old one refused to toast evenly after about 12 years. Our coffee maker died at just about the same time so we didn't want to spend a fortune since we needed 2 appliances, but we didn't want to get cheap for cheap's sake, either. Doing the usual research and reading many, many reviews we decided on the Cuisinart. The only other Cuisinart we've ever had was a coffee grinder which worked great for a very long time so we weren't loyal to any one brand, just wanted to be informed (and lucky). Never having spent this much on a toaster we expected as close to perfection as possible, and so far this Cuisinart does not disappoint! Not only does it look really good in a retro way, it works great. The white trim on the metal silver body is stylish and attractive enough to sit on the counter - no cover or garage needed. More importantly it toasts evenly and consistently. We make either toast or English muffins every morning and have had no surprises, which is a nice surprise in itself. And the lift lever is a nifty feature that is very appreciated. With our old toaster we would have to unplug and then stick a butter knife into the slot to retrieve toast or muffins. We haven't tried toasting bagels yet, but I'm optimistic. Same goes for frozen waffles, pastries, etc. The crumb catcher tray does its job and is easy to clean. We definitely give this toaster 2 thumbs up! It's worth every dollar.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been eyeing this toaster for awhile & finally pulled the trigger on it. First impression—love it. Perfect condition, and it’s beautiful. I toasted both waffles & bread, both toasted evenly in all 4 slots. My only concern is that it has a chemical/plastic burning type odor when it toasts. I’ve only used it this once so I’m hoping it’s just because it’s new and that the smell will go away. Purchased this toaster over others since it is bpa free so hopefully the smell isn’t a big deal and won’t be an issue. Will definitely update after several uses if it doesn’t change!

I can confidently say that this is the most expensive piece of beautiful garbage that I've ever had the displeasure of owning. Its one redeeming feature is its looks.It's terribly messy - if you move the device, even the slightest bit, it'll dust the countertop with crumbs from the base. The crumb trap at the bottom fails to catch even half of the mess.The activator levers frequently fail to catch so you'll have to maneuver the toast/bagels in the tray to get it working.Finally its worst trait - the toast is abysmal. The top half is always undercooked, and if you try to add to the timer you'll end up burning the bottom half for any setting over '3'. I tried working around this by toasting on a low setting, flipping, and toasting again. For $70, I expect the toaster to handle that for me.Do not buy.

I'm here to answer some questions that I see on this listing and to clear up any misconceptions.The toaster is good at toasting square slices of bread. Maybe even a little too good...we have to use about 3 or 3.5 out of 10 on the setting or else it gets way too dark. But, it toasts evenly and is good at that.Now the bad...notice I said "square" bread. The wider slices of bread from companies like Arnold's or Pepperidge Farm do NOT fit in this toaster, which is a bummer because those were my favorite go-to bread companies and I never expected a toaster to not fit them.BAGEL SETTING: This is the worst part of this toaster. To me, the Bagel setting is used to toast the inner sides of a bagel, only one side is toasting per slot, so that the inside gets crispy while the outside of the bagel stays soft and chewy. That is NOT what this toaster does. It toasts BOTH sides per slot, and only "extends the duration of the toast for thicker slices of bread" per the manual's description, so the outside of your bagel is usually dark and crispy instead of light and pillowy.It's a nice toaster at toasting square bread. That is all I can really say about it. The rest is disappointing and I wish I had bought a different toaster.

I purchased this to replace my current toaster that died. I never had great luck with toasters. I really never had one that toasted evenly on both sides.So after reading a lot of toaster reviews on the web and Amazon I decided to give this one a try. I didn't need the extra features this one had. I just wanted a toaster that toasted evenly on both sides, had 4 large slice openings and had the lift feature to lift the toast up to grab it. I tried it for the first time today and was pleased with the results with english muffins. It toasted evenly on both side and was a lot faster than my old one. I like the silver and white retro look on my counter. The only thing negative I can say about it is that for almost $60.00 when I first picked it up and removed it from the box I was expecting something that felt a little more well built. To me it felt light and not well built. While the metal finish look great it feels thin like a coke can. Pushing down on the toasting levers gives a tinny cheap feel. The toaster works and looks great. I just wish it had a little heavier well built feeling.
