CuisinartCPT-160 Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster, Brushed Stainless

The media could not be loaded. Let me start the detailed review of the Cuisinart CPT-160 Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster. The first thing I want to highlight is the remarkable speed of delivery. After placing the order, I was pleasantly surprised to receive it within five hours, a testament to the company's efficiency. This was particularly impressive as my old toaster was no longer performing at its best.After spending about two hours researching the right toaster, I decided on this Cuisinart CPT-160 2-Slice Toaster. I was right, as it has left us with a pleasant impression.The Cuisinart CPT-160 2-Slice Toaster is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, a material known for its durability and sleek appearance. The brushed stainless steel color adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen. Its dimensions are 7.13" deep x 10.75" wide x 7.13" high, and it features a convenient small sliding crumb tray at the bottom left.I will describe the functions of the beautiful toaster:• The Bagel function heats only the top half of the bagel so that it is crispy on top and soft on the bottom.• Toast: for regular and toasted bread• Defrost: first defrost and then toast frozen bread• Reheat: allows you to reheat toasted bread without browning or burning it• Cancel: stops all toasting operationsThe shade control setting offers toasting options, allowing us to toast our slices of bread as we like; we use it on the 3-4 medium toast setting.The first thing we did before using it was blowtorching it with an air gun to remove dust. I put it in toast mode but without bread to burn, dust, or any other material, and if it smelled something like it was a new product, after a few minutes and when the new smell disappeared, we put the first slices of bread, in the 1-2 setting the toast was light brown I changed the setting to 3-4. The result was perfect; I like a medium brown tone, and the toasted bread was delicious.In summary, the Cuisinart CPT-160 Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster not only adds a touch of elegance to our kitchen but also offers a user-friendly experience. Its shiny stainless steel color sparkles and its shade control setting allows us to toast our slices of bread just the way we like. The bread was delicious with a perfect medium toast, and the toaster arrived in our kitchen ready to toast many slices of bread for a long time. Based on my pleasant experience, I highly recommend it.My primary goal in reviewing this product is to provide an unbiased opinion and assist other customers in making informed decisions about the Cuisinart CPT-160 Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster.

I have had MANY Cuisinart items in my home for years and have enjoyed the consistent quality of their product. This time, not so much.I wanted a simple 2-slot toaster that my teenagers could use before heading off to school in the morning. I purchased this unit because of the name, look, simple controls, and good price point for a name I knew.It lives up to everything except it's job. Even on the darkest settings and selecting bagel (a little under 8 minutes), barely toasted bread. I tried all the settings, different types of bread (English muffins in the pic), and even switched outlets to make sure it was not a power thing. Nothing worked. I believe the culprit is a half-working heating element. You can see the dark spots in the toaster in the pics.Unfortunately friends, this as tested toaster should not be one of your options for your kitchen. It will frustrate you as you wait, peering into the orange glow for an eternity while you hold your to-go cup of coffee, car keys, and phone, only to have two slices of bread appear almost as doughy as they were when you took them from the bag...just warmer.I'd love to get my money back, but the toaster already has those 'already been used' stains at the bottom. Just like new shoes worn outside, non-returnable.

Over the years I have purchases 3 of these toasters. 2 were 4 slice, of which one was a gift, one for myself. both of those were high quality. This one I purchase for myself and it is simply not the same quality. It is super, super light in weight, sort of flimsy. It does toast nicely, and I like the lift assistant. I was disappointed that the metal appears to be much thinner, and quality is noticeable not the same, high quality it once was. A less expensive toaster would have been just as nice as this because the low quality of the metal.

LOVE LOVE LOVE my new toaster!! It works great with "texas toast" sized bread.
