Cuisinart CPT-180 Metal Classic 4-Slice Toaster

Pros: Wide mouth, slender design for skinny spaces
Cons: crumb tray, hot spots esp. w/ bagels

My husband and I were so impressed 4 years ago with this toaster at first sight that we immediately put it on our wedding registry. But as time has passed we have found some imperfections with our perfect little everything toaster.

First, the...

Pros: Looks nice, does 4 peaces at a time!
Cons: Does not stay clean.

My roommate had this toaster when i first moved into the house! Her family gave it to her for her senior graduation! All of us girls where just so amazed that she had a 4 in one toaster! We where just so excited! I really think that this toaster is ...

Pros: Decent toaster.
Cons: Early death.

Our Cuisinart CPt30 toaster lasted 18 months. One side of the unit burned out. The company offered to replace the unit for shipping the old unit back to them and sending them a check for $7 for them to send us a new unit.

It took some time...

Pros: Sleek Design, when turned on it's side it reheats your pizza slices perfectly!
Cons: Cannot leave your toast in it unattended. It will come out warm or near black.

Undercooks or burns toast!! Good looking but brainless... it reminds me of my ex wife. If you start a piece of toast on 4 it pops up just a bit hot but not at all browned. Then if you push it down again it turnes the toast to ashes. If you choose...

Pros: Very attractive countertop appliance.
Cons: Doesn't work very well.

I really wanted a good-looking stainless steel toaster that worked properly. Our old one was very fickle; set too low it wouldn't brown; set too high and you'd have homemade charcoal. After some online research, I started homing in on this Cuisinart. ...

Pros: cheap
Cons: uneven heating

I have not been happy with this toaster for toasting bread (I haven't tried bagels yet). It has two long, 1/4 inch diameter cylinder shaped, horizontal positioned, heating elements - one on each side. Each element has "hot spots" at each end. The...

Pros: Nice design. Looks great
Cons: Design and Looks can't overcome the fact that it doesn't work.

We bought this toaster after we returned another Cuisinart toaster that was toasting unevenly. Well this more expensive model did exactly the same thing - toasted on one side and slightly warm on the other. Seems to be a common theme with Cuisinart toasters. Steer clear - unless of course you like unevenly toasted bread.

Pros: It toasted okay for the first few years. Nothing to write home about.
Cons: It is in no way built to last. Consider it a disposable.

Ok, I've had this toaster for years - I'd say at least 5 years - and it is on its last legs. It barely heats anymore, but even in its heyday, it was nothing more than a cheap toaster. I thought the Cuisinart name might mean something even on the lower end, but all it means is you get what you pay for. For the price, it was an okay toaster, but it is what it is - a cheap, disposable toaster.

Please note that I had to guess at the price - I have no idea what I paid for this, but epinions requires you put in a dollar amount.

Pros: Very stylish, toasts great!
Cons: None

I have never had to buy a toaster, so when my gift toaster finally started to burn anything within reach, I knew it was time! After looking around, I decided on the Cuisinart CPT-180. Okay, I admit, I am a sucker for a pretty appliance, but this toaster really toasts everything well! I have been using it daily for a couple of weeks with everything from English muffins to bagels, and it toasts them all to perfection--when it is adjusted right. I have burned something, but it was because I had it at too high of a setting.

This beautiful toaster packs a lot of features--4 extra-wide slots, bagel, reheat, defrost and cancel buttons with LED indicators, and knobs for adjusting toasting levels. All wrapped in a lovely, brushed stainless body.

So, I have experienced great toasting while having a counter-worthy appliance to boot. Definately worth the purchase price of $80.

Pros: Nice Looks, Toasted Quickly
Cons: Toasted Unevenly, Awful smell out of the box.

I got this for Christmas after expressing my desire for a four slice toaster. I quickly checked the reviews on epinions and then decided to try it out myself because they seems somewhat contradictory. I agree with one reviewer that some of the reviews seem like they were written by the manufacturer.

The first thing I noticed once out of the box was that it looks nicer than it does on the box picture. The second thing was the smell, which got almost unbearable when I turned it on. Unlike one of the other reviews, I noted that the elements do NOT all turn on evenly. The inside ones are noticeably less bright than the outside ones.

The results were confirmed the observations - one side of the toast was darker than the otherside, one of my pet peeves about toasters. And, even though it was set on 2.5 (out of six) I had to pop the toast to avoid it burning black.

I think we will try a different toaster, one will better reviews.

Pros: Looks nice
Cons: I expected more from this company

It dose not work very well. Browns very uneven and seems to burn one side and not toast the other.

Pros: Fast and it works.
Cons: Spring seems weak so the toast dose not pop up high

We bought this toaster about four months ago and love it. The toaster replaced one that was just a two slicer and just was not keeping up with the family toasting needs so it had to go. The toast seem to come out alright by are standards but comparing this to what we had in the past is night and day. The only draw back I can find it the spring that pushes the toast up when down does not seem strong enough so you need to keep an eye on the toaster to tell when it is down. That was one thing about our old toaster you good hear it click and the toast would fly out of the thing. I would buy this product again.

Pros: Makes nice toast
Cons: Light duty construction

We liked this toaster it did a nice job but at the end of two weeks it went pop and it was over. Otherwise nice toaster, we got ours at Sams Club for $50.00.

Pros: Nice Finish
Cons: does not work

This was supposed to be the toaster to end all toasters.
We had it for about 2.5 years, and now the toast brown on only one side. The outer heating elements still work. The inner elements work at about 1/3 capacity of the outer ones. We now turn our toast around after a couple minutes to cook the other side. Until we find the next toaster to end all toasters. This one was not it!!

Pros: Looks like a capable toaster.
Cons: Doesn't work. Won't brown on one side out of 4.

We're just about to return our second Cuisinart toaster, and we're sorry that that brand is losing our business. I'm so saddened that our GE 25-year-old toaster finally bit the dust; that worked perfectly for all this time. We gave up on a recent Black and Decker toaster, and my in-laws had a kitchen aid toaster that died after just a year or so. The quality of all recent toasters is bad, prompting "we can put a man on the moon, but we can't build a decent toaster?" Maybe since the last time we put a man on the moon was back in the sixties and early 70s, our toaster design was best then, too? Seems like it.

Sad.
