Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CPT-140 Electronic Cool Touch 4-Slice Toaster
Customer Review: A crime against consumers
Summary: 1 Stars
I think what has happened to most toasters (over-engineered junk with useless buttons and electronic "features") constitutes a crime.
I bought this toaster. It worked fine for three months. Toast was OK--I'm not too picky.
But then the left two slots stopped working. Lever wouldn't stay down. I took it apart myself, and cleaned everything, including the contacts. I carefully compared the parts and their functions on the left, to those on the right. Some small electro-doodad was not working right.
I e-mailed Cuisinart customer service asking them to mail me the part. No response. (This tactic has worked for me with other companies.) So I still have a half-functional toaster that's cheaper to throw out and replace, than to send in for repairs.
I mean how many people, in their regular job, can cut their productivity by 50% and remain employed?
How many of you would accept a saw where every other tooth broke off after the first few cuts?
What about headphones where the left speaker failed in 2 months?
Cuisinart doesn't seem to mind if their designers and manufacturers produce toasters that quickly lose 50% of their functionality.
I wonder if the Cuisinart executives would accept such junk in their own kitchens?
And by the way, I'm sure most toasters share essentially the same electro-mechanical guts. It's certainly not limited to Cuisinart, at this price point. Although I know there are better customer service departments out there, willing to help people who would rather fix something than throw it out. On the other hand, this thing is made so cheaply (and so overpriced) that it will probably fail again as soon as it's "fixed."
Description of Cuisinart CPT-140 Electronic Cool Touch 4-Slice Toaster
Make the most of your toast. Dual controls give you two toasters in one, allowing you to simultaneously prepare two different servings. Each side gives you a nine-setting browning control, while a selection of touchpad controls help you specify the type of toasting - defrost, bagel and cancel. A slide-out crumb tray catches any refuse for easy cleanup.Toasters
