Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CPT-160 Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster
Customer Review: Extremely inconsistent toaster
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this toaster as a gift as it matches my kitchen. It looks GREAT in there. But as we know, looks aren't everything. For some reason, anytime I make toast, it comes out completely different, even though I never change the dial. The first batch is usually pretty good, with nice even toasting. But any other batches are a gamble. Just this morning, I made the perfect toast, then put in a couple more slices. These came out completely white, although toasted to the touch. I put them in again at the same setting, thinking "If they're white now, they'll be perfectly toasted the second time at this setting." Wrong - burned black. Maybe that was my own fault. Once, I hosted a breakfast at my house and every set of toast I made got less and less toasted. I tried barely moving the dial (It's usually at 1), but it just burned it. I don't understand why it's doing this, but it's very frustrating.
If you want a toaster that looks fabulous and expensive, with a couple of fancy buttons, this is it! If you want a toaster that makes consistently browned toast, I'd look elsewhere. My college cheap $8 toaster made better toast than this.
Customer Review: Works great

I was able to grab one when they were in stock again, luckily, because I see they are out of stock again, the black chrome colored ones. Very nice, toasts nicely, look sharp.Customer Review: Great Simple Design--Toasts Evenly--Top of Line Toast Machine

After reading everyones reviews I have to say that this toaster has been nothing but a dream. Honestly I don't toast daily , but when I do the bread is very evenly toasted, the browning dial seems to be very accurate. I would say a 3 or a 4 is a perfect pitch. I have not stuck a bagel or god forbid a pop tart in this thing, but I am happy with what I got. When I was shopping around for a toaster I decided on this one for 1. Aesthetics, which I don't think there is a better more simple looking toaster around. This thing doesn't take up that much room on the counter and though it does get dirty easily, when you polish it, boy does it look regal. Besides, one should always polish their cherished appliances. Number 2. The quality name Cuisnart. Some people might argue that fact but I have been nothing but happy. You won't find a better looking, easy functioning toaster. Its worth the money. As mentioned it toasts fine and dandy. This thing has some power. Don't turn it up too high!Customer Review: Had this item for two years and still works great.

I got this item off my wedding registry two years ago and it works and looks great. It is right by my Grind and Brew coffee maker and the pair look really nice together. What can I say...it makes toast. So, in my opinion it works great! I agree that it might be a little pricey, so try to find it on special. Customer Review: Brave little toaster
Summary: 4 Stars
This toaster caught my eye because of the Cuisinart name, and because it looks like a basic toaster, with just the teeniest bit of retro-ness. I chose it over the white plastic version of this same toaster because the brushed metal goes with my appliances and because the buttons and knob look a little sturdier. The plastic toaster's buttons looked flimsy. We've had this toaster for one week. We used it almost daily. It toasts both slices of bread evenly. It does exactly what I want it to do: toast bread. It looks good sitting on the counter, a nice bonus. Minus one star because the body is not as sturdy as it could be. Nothing has happened to it so far, it's still in out-of-the-box condition, but I imagine it might easily get banged up and scratched. Planned obsolescence, and all that. But like I said, it does a good job toasting bread.
