" ... Unfortunately, I got a lemon for a toaster. ... The only reason I wanted a new 2-slice toaster is because I live alone and don’t really need the big toaster. ... Well, I’m gonna keep the big one til it dies and then I’ll look again for a 2-slice toaster. ... How hard is it to manufacture a toaster that toasts evenly ... "
" ... From day one the heating was uneven, but now one side toasts and the other not at all. ... You have to push it down just right or the toast won’t satay down and start toasting. ... "
" ... Greatly disappointed the toaster didn’t work right out of the box. ... It is 2022, why can’t a simple toaster be made that works? ... "
" ... Adjustment dials should be on the side, so the toaster does not have to be pulled away from where it sits. ... "
" ... This toaster is useless. ... Never really worked from the start and now 4 months later it only toasts one side and other times doesn't toast at all. ... "
" ... One side like hot bread, other side burnt. ... "
" ... Never Cuisinart again. ... "
" ... I have never seen a toaster that works as poorly as this one does. ... Put the bread in the toaster, and when it comes out, one side is almost burnt, and the other is barely toasted. ... Do not waste your money on this toaster. ... "

" ... Only complaint is the cord. ... "
" ... This of curse meant that the manufacturers were using three times as much nichrome wire for their heating elements AND they stood proud of the heat resistant backing. ... If the wire is laying snug against the backing they lose all their energy into the backing and can’t get hot. ... "
" ... In order for them to send a replacement we have to email a photo of the current toaster with the cord cut so I'll be without a toaster for the next 7-10 business days. ... "
" ... The Cuisinart customer service sent me a new one at no charge and I had to cut the cord on the old one. ... "
" ... It's not steady or sturdy and the cord is impossible to wrangle. ... "
" ... Had to unplug cord in order to raise lever, which seemed to reset unit. ... "
" ... It was very wobbly and when in use - it smelt like burning wires. ... "
" ... Lots of the wires inside appear to not work. ... "
