Cuisinart Soho™ Collection 2-Slice Toaster, 7 Toaster Setting, Defrost, Reheat, and Bagel Setting, Convenient Rear Cord Storage, Black, CPT-7BK

If a toaster can be elegant, this one is. It's sleek and simple and doesn't crowd the counter. I especially like the way the controls look when they're lit up. While the visuals are very simple, the toaster still has all the functions you need: Defrost, bagel, seven settings, and a bar that lets you lift the bread to check whether it's ready. The lift is high enough to let you remove the bread if you want to stop the process, but if you want to continue toasting, just push the bar back down. This product also works well for both toast and bagels. I don't understand reviews that complain that the bread isn't toasted evenly enough, or that both sides don't match. It's just a piece of toast, not a gourmet side dish. This appliance gets most of the slice toasted on both sides. It toasts according the the setting you choose and the final product is crunchy. That's all I need. Finally, I really like Cuisinart products. I've used them before. They usually include a three-year warranty and have done so here. However, their products last forever. I had a Cuisinart food processor that lasted 10 years. I highly recommend this toaster.

Toasts well as it should, looks nice, and doesn't take up much space.

The media could not be loaded. Overall, this is a great toaster! I love the Cuisinart line of products and have many, many of their items in my kitchen tool box.PROS:—crumb tray is super easy to empty and keep clean—electrical cord fits snugly in lower area of toaster and it's easy to push it back into the area—toasts different items to perfection, with simple, easy to use push-buttons/knobsCONS:—it is so bulky and takes up so much space; not suitable to leave out on countertopThe con of it's size is a shame, because if it were smaller, I would leave it on the counter, as it is very minimalist and elegant.

So disappointed!! This toaster looked so good on my cabinet and blended in well. I just used it a second time. The mechanism that holds the toast down just broke! Now it is useless and I’m sending back! Not the quality I would expect from Cuisinart at all!!

This is a great toaster. The buttons stay lit after using until the toaster cools down. You have to push down on the lever twice when you want to toast. I think that is a safety feature.

Looks good and is a good price but it toasts unevenly

This came yesterday. I tried it this morning -- a very simple test: set dial in the middle and toast one piece of white sourdough bread in the left slot.One side came out toasted evenly and appropriately; the other side was barely warmed (no real toasting at all). The 'bagel' button was *not* pressed.I'll try it a couple more times with different adjustments and update this if things change, but as of now this product failed to perform its basic function.

It toasts, what more do you want from it. I see people complaining about this and that. it does what it's suppose to, you put floppy bread in it and it comes out toasted. Maybe not 100% even on both sides but whatever it's toasted, it fulfills its primary mission and looks pretty stylish as well.
