Cuisinart 4 slice toaster, Wide slots, ideal for thick bread and bagels, 6 browning levels plus defrost, Wide slots, High lift lever, Matching kettle available, Frosted Pearl

I love everything about this toaster. It is elegant. It toasts the entire slice of bread. It has a setting that reheats the toast if you leave it too long. It also was an excuse to reorganise our kitchen counterspace. A total win!

Although this toaster has a bagel setting it does seem to toast the side it shouldn’t!! The buttons to slide down need to be pushed quite hard, if not the toaster doesn’t work. But all in no all was good value for money.

Nice & good price

If the realm of toasting had its own epic saga, this toaster would be the cursed One Ring – a blight upon breakfast tables everywhere. My mornings have become a perilous journey, akin to Frodo’s treacherous path to Mount Doom, filled with despair, disappointment, and the haunting stench of burnt bread.Attempting to achieve the perfect golden toast is like trying to find Middle-earth’s elusive balance between light and dark. Alas, this toaster knows no such harmony. Set it too high, and your bread emerges as a charred relic from the fiery pits of Mordor, blackened beyond recognition, with the acrid smoke of defeat lingering in the air. The crust crackles with the bitterness of Sauron’s malevolence, leaving you questioning your very existence.Turn the dial down, and you’re met with the opposite travesty – bread that’s merely basked in the lukewarm glow of the Shire’s gentle sun, barely whispered upon by warmth. It’s as if Samwise himself tried to toast it with a hopeful smile and a faint campfire, but alas, all in vain. No crunch, no golden hue – just a feeble suggestion that heat once passed by.In conclusion, this toaster is the Gollum of kitchen appliances: deceptive, unreliable, and destined to ruin your precious mornings. Save your bread, your dignity, and your hope. Cast this infernal device into the fires from whence it came.

Cusinart 4 Slice Toaster - purchased Dec 2024, for £35:00, nice looking small appliance, but doesn’t warrant any higher a price in my opinion. Build quality just isn’t there , and I own several other Cusinart appliances.Controls are clunky in operation, very cheap feeling,toasted first slices fully, time will tell if lasts.High rise isn’t very effective but slots are indeed better for home made bread and bagels etc

The toaster looks great, has good functions, takes wide bread and has a rise control to remove the bread, etc. Whilst it is quite expensive, I still consider it to be good value for money - you get what you pay for!

A powerful toaster, much quicker than our old one. Bagel button for longer cook time is useful for crumpets & bagels. Looks very nice. Good firm thunk when you push down. Only criticism is that the very bottom of items (0.5-0.75cm) is below the heaters so doesn’t get toasted as well.

Good quality toaster
