Cuisinart CPT-122BK 2-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster, Black

Very happy with this toaster. Super affordable, easy to use, and whips up my morning toast in a flash. I usually have to pump up the dial to 6 or 7 and hit the defrost button to get my frozen bread the way I like it, but once i figured that out it’s been yum toast all the way. It’s a bit small for sourdough so I usually cut that in two first. English muffins have been great too. Haven’t tried anything else like waffles yet. I bought the white and it looks nice on my toaster oven. Love that I can trust Cuisineart to deliver on the home essentials

I heard it is well loved, works great and does everything it says it does. Also well priced.

Ended up donating it because it burns one side and barely toast the other side. Buttons work great but heating level erratic

Compared to other Cuisinart toasters I have had in the past, I was extremely disappointed with the Cuisinart 2 slice toaster CPT-122BK model. Not sure if I just got a defective one or if they are all like that, but it didn't work correctly. The toaster itself is very lightweight & low quality compared to the others I have had. It looks good & the cord is a good length & can be contained underneath. I definitely recommend a removable crumb tray & it has one. It was packaged well & I had it delivered in an Amazon box. I like the cancel, bagel & defrost options & the wide slots - unfortunately, that's the only good things about it as it didn't toast as it should. I ran a couple cycles to burn off the manufacturing residue & tested the toaster with several different types/sizes/thickness of bread at the various heat settings - all had issues. Weirdly, the pieces of toast that I scraped off the burnt parts tasted like there was cinnamon on it & I was using Texas toast & peanut butter, so there shouldn't have been a cinnamon taste. The bread was still cold even though it was burnt. It appeared brand new in the box with all of the wrappings & no crumbs in it when I unboxed it, so I don't know what happened. The plastic sides of the toaster got very hot, even on the lowest setting. The lever isn't smoothe when you press it down & you can see the red heat elements through the lever slit in the plastic. Thicker bread doesn't pop up very much when it's done. The bread carriage doesn't hold the bread in the center of the slots & it didn't settle in the same spot every time. Toasting at level 1 or 2 doesn't get the bread toasted or warm. Level 2.5 - 3.5 burns one side of the bread while the other side isn't toasted at all. Turning it over to toast the other side ends up burning both sides. Anything higher makes charcoal. There's no control at all over the toast brownness because it goes from nothing to burnt in less than 1 level. Weirdly, even when the toast was burnt, the bread wasn't warm at all. The heat elements get really red & all seem to light up, but I don't know what makes the toaster do what it does at the lower heat levels. If you like burnt cold toast, you would probably like this defective toaster. I need to have a toaster that works correctly & consistently since we use it every day for multiple people & picky eaters. Thankfully, I am able to return the toaster without leaving my house - the UPS building is about 10 miles away from my house & I don't have a vehicle right now & we don't really have any public transportation options here. UPS will pick it up at some point tomorrow & being a label to put on it. Hopefully that goes smoothly! I have already ordered a different brand toaster that has 4.7 stars - hopefully I get one that actually works well, every time.

I've had several sophisticated toasters with LED lights and extra features, and at some point they have all failed at some point, and when I saw this one recommended on Wirecutter it looked like a good value, and having received this one, I feel: "Welcome back to simplicity!" No fancy features, but it does the job and so far has done it well. I mean, that's all I really want from a toaster! And the price is right. The only downside was I had to learn not to push the lever down too hard. Other toasters I had to kinda push hard to make it stay down, but with this one if I push to hard it pops right back up again. If I push down gently, it stays down. I was a bit hesitant to buy something that literally says "plastic" in the description as I'm not a big fan of using plastic in general, but there is no contact between the plastic and the food and it does seem easier to clean than steel toasters. So far, very happy with this toaster, and it doesn't take up a lot of space on the counter. ALERT: I put it too close to a gas burner on the stove and it caught on fire! The plastic side flamed and melted - ugh! So I bought another. I still give it 5 stars - I just need to keep it further away from the stove!

This is a good looking toaster, intuitive controls and cool outside when toasting. However, it does not toast evenly. It does the same thing that my existing $19 toaster does. It does not toast the whole slice of bread. Returning

I love Cuisinart Products. They stand by their products, and that's important to me. This unit works fine for my counter space. I got the black, and it blends in well with my decor. Pricing, it wasn't expensive, and it got the job done. Yummy, sour dough english muffins came out fine on a level 5, married with a poached egg, perfection. Happy camper. The toaster was also nice looking, and it didn't break the bank. Make a nice, affordable wedding gift.

Es algo voluminoso, pero para lo que es funciona perfecto. Siempre he tenido algo de problema con el hecho de que en cualquier tostador siempre se llena por dentro de migajas. Pero este al menos tiene el plus de que por debajo hay una bandeja que uno puede quitar para limpiar las migajas que le caigan. Tiene varias funciones, aunque en realidad solo lo usamos para tostar. Quisimos este porque precisamente estaba muy bien reseñado en The Wirecutter para tostar correctamente, y así ha sido hasta ahora. Muy recomendable :)

Ok

Nunca funcionó, intenté de muchas maneras hacerlo trabajé y ninguna funcionó, me tenéis que tener si tenido la palanquita para poder que trabajara y de repente también dejaba de calentar

first one sent to me had to be returned as some of heat elements not working - second one received still showed some heat elements not working so parts of bread are white and not toasted - small compact size good for limited kitchen space - suits my needs

En general bastante bien. Comprado en noviembre 2019 y en diciembre 2021 las resistencias de la parte centrales dejaron de funcionar (la típica rotura del cable-resistencia que no se puede arreglar sin un empalme metálico imposible de encontrar). Ahora calienta solo en los bordes y tenemos que darle la vuelta al pan para que se tueste de ambos lados. El uso de malos materiales parece por desgracia ser la norma ahora, incluso en las tostadoras caras. Pero que funcione solo 2 años es realmente escandaloso (solo usamos un pinza de bambú para sacar el pan, sin maltrato especial).
