Yesterday, Diane pressed down on toaster’s lever…and it broke. We had the old Cuisinart toaster for six years and it preformed flawlessly…until then. I went on AMAZON and ordered the Cuisinart CPT-122BK Compact 2-Slice Toaster and it arrived 16 hours later…just in time for Diane’s breakfast today.
FUNCTIONAL: This compact toaster is able to fit comfortably on your countertops while toasting bagels, toast and a preheat, defrost and cancel option. Simple to use!
CAPACITY: Has 2 1.5-inch wide toasting slots for a wide variety of sizes.
MUST-HAVE FEATURES: The 7-setting shade dial gives you control over the toasting shade and the slide-out crumb tray makes clean up easy.
PERFORMANCE: Whether you want a thick toasted bagel to snack on, toaster pastries, or thin sliced bread for a healthy twist on croutons, the wide slots and high-lift carriage make it easy to toast every time.
We’ve had good luck with Cuisinart appliances. Do you like your toaster? GRADE: A
Years ago, I bought a toaster on sale at Xmas and gave it to Linda! She bought me the exact same toaster! We gave the extra to someone else! I think this was 15-20 years ago and it still works fine! I never use the settings for the different kinds of beards it accepts (bagel, bread, English muffin, etc.), but everything comes out fine! My biggest battle is setting it for the way I like toast and the way Linda does! I’d give you nomenclature of it but I’m too lazy to walk to the kitchen! It’s red!
Bob, your red toaster is a gem! Today’s toasters don’t typically last that long. Much more plastic…
Love it. Being down here with their crappy old two slice toaster isn’t great. I can’t toast two English muffins at once.
The one you want is not available at Amazon, according to Jackie. It’s from Costco online only, somewhat similar to yours but better.
It’s a Cuisinart Custom Select 4- Slice Toaster (Model RBT-135OPC). It has buttons for Bread, Bagel, Waffle, Pastry (presumably a PopTart) and English Muffin, as well as a button for a Single slice. There’s a Defrost and a Cancel button too. It’s $15 more than the two Slice, but so worth it.
Jeff, I suggested the CUISINART CUSTOM SELECT 4-SLICE TOASTER (MODEL RBT-1350PC) but Diane thought it would take up too much space on her narrow counter where we keep our toasters. The CUISINART CPT-122BK) fits nicely and toasts our breads just fine. Diane eats toast every day. I’m a once-in-a-while guy.
Yeah, but does it wash windows or clean the bathroom?
Jerry, nope. Just toast. Very good toast!
And it’s the life of every Disney cartoon party in your kitchen.
We have that toaster, but in white. Has worked very well for years.
Jeff, we have had Good Luck with Cuisinart appliances. I’m fond of my Cuisinart coffee maker, too.
We have had a chintzy-seeming Betty Crocker-branded toaster for more than 20 years of reasonable service…its crumb-cleaning trap door fell off at least five years ago, but we had/have a very small broiler pan we were putting to nearly no use, and BC has been settled in that ever since. We don’t challenge it too often, particularly since I pointed out to Alice how to toast hot dog buns without their falling into the slots awkwardly (she has recently fallen in over with oven-broiled dogs). Does bagels, pitas, waffles and the like without complaint (has those gripping baskets within the slots that one might expect would break in the first five minutes of use). Probably cost $10-20 new. I’ve yet ro buy a toaster…and have good luck using cheap roasters others have bought over the decades…took my parents’ old back-up toaster when I moved out which was at least 15 years old,, they having sought out a four-slot toaster a few years before, and that lasted me a good 15 more years.
And I’ve just learned that Acme/Safeway/et al. “Signature” blueberry waffles (on sale at least yesterday at Acme) are considerably better than Eggos, if that was a question for anyone else. The Albertson’s conglomerate: https://www.albertsonscompanies.com/about-aci/overview/default.aspx
Todd, I remember when banks gave away free toasters (and other appliances like Coffee Makers and blenders) for opening a new account. The old toasters lasted 20 years…more modern ones maybe 5 years.
