Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart TAN-4 Tandem 4-Slice Toaster
Customer Review: A step backward
Summary: 2 Stars
I had a single slot Cuisinart toaster for about 10 years before it died (circuit board failure). That toaster was the best toaster I ever had with simple electronic controls that seemed "intelligent" and seemed to make perfect toast every time from bread, bagels, english muffins, waffles, each frozen or not. I was sad to see it go. I was doubly sad to find that they no longer manufacture that toaster so I bought this as a substitute. The controls on this new toaster are mechanical - a selection dial (for toast, bagel, reheat, defrost), push buttons (labeled 4 slice or 2 slice to heat both slots or the front slot only), and a darkness dial. I have several problems with this toaster that leads to my less than enthusiastic evaluation. In general, I find that it is hard to find the "sweet spot" to get consistent browning from this toaster - the toast is either underdone or burnt. The side of the toast that is against the center element is invariably more done than the side facing the outer element. The 2/4 slice option sounds like it should add energy efficiency to the appliance but in the implementation, both sides of the center element light up so only one side of the second slot ends up de-powered. The numbers on the darkness dial are lit up with a blue (LED?) light that casts a too-bright blue glow in our kitchen at night after turning out the lights (may be a feature for those who want a free night light with their toaster but I find it intrusive). If I did not know and love the previous model then perhaps I would not be so sensitive to the weaknesses of this toaster - so your mileage and impression may differ from mine. I am just struck by how much better the toaster from 10 years ago was than this current model. Oh well.
