Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CPT-170 Brushed Stainless Steel 2-Slice Toaster with Countdown Timer
Customer Review: Former DUALIT junkie defects to Cuisinart.
Summary: 4 Stars
We've owned two Dualits in the past 16 years. The first one lasted 12 years. The second one barely made it to four years before a widely reported flaw (the mechanical timer gets stuck) caused a thankfully contained fire in our kitchen. So we've been hunting for an affordable toaster that we don't hate the look of and that, well, makes good toast!
After weeks of reviewing, Consumer Reports finally tipped us over the edge in favor of this unit. It was highly rated and it doesn't look entirely awful. While most appliance companies seem to be squeezing Design with a capital D over their entire product ranges (silly lights, ridiculous shapes, too many controls), the Cuisinart exercises some restraint by being a) mostly rectangular, b) brushed stainless and c) simple to control.
PROS:
Only one. It makes fantastic toast. Even on both sides. MUCH better than our last Dualit which was uneven and unpredictable. Toast in this toaster is consistent between toastings.
CONS:
- Stainless is a fingerprint magnet
- Blue countdown timer light cannot be turned off! (Why not have it activate only when the toast control is depressed?)
- Ugly setting dial
- With some types of bread (notably Spelt Grain), the toasting dial needs to be set to maximum for just modest toasting
it's not the cheapest mid-range toaster out there, but it's good.
