Cuisinart 4 Slice Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless, CPT-180P1

This is our second toaster of this exact model. We bought it for a wedding gift. We heard back and they love it and have been creatively heating all kinds of things, plus toast and bagels. It’s so pretty on the counter too! To me the looks can’t be beat. And it can toast bagels on both sides as well.

I love this toaster SO much. It is beautiful and fits my new kitchen aesthetic so well. I had reservations about an item from the resale store, but this is IT! It has a beautiful classic brushed steel design and toasts everything to perfection. It looks amazing in my new kitchen.

While it's just a toaster, it's a very nice one. I bought it for the retro look, and because it matches my other stainless steel appliances, and it looks quite nice left on the ccountertop.The bread slice holes could be a smidge wider to accommodate hamburger buns, but otherwise it's perfect.The toaster is solid! It's a nice weight, it feels like a higher quality appliance as compared to the cheaper toasters I've had, and I like that the rubber feet really do their job; this toaster won't slide around. It's got multiple settings (bagel, defrost, reheat) and the one for bagels toasts more slowly so the outside of your bagel won't burn before it gets warmed. The reheat feature works similarly. A cancel button if you need it will pop your bread up, and the darkness knobs are very sensitive. Whatever your toast color preference, you can get it with this toaster.Finally, the clean out for this toaster is a breeze with slide out trays (see photo) that come all the way out with no bothersome clips to fuss with, and can be cleaned. All in all, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Our daughter has this model toaster. We liked it and so we bought one too. Hers looks identical but she got hers about ten years before we did and hers is better made than ours. Its springs are firmer and its knobs turn more smoothly. Ours feels a bit flimsy and cheap by comparison. The knobs are loose and the spring mechanisms have a slight jiggle too. But we've had it for four years now and it hasn't broken, so I'm giving it four stars but deducting one star on the expectation that her toaster will probably outlast ours.

I had previously purchased the 435 model of Cuisinart toaster and it lasted 12 years. One of the buttons melted, but it was my fault, so I can't fault the toaster, but did want a new toaster as we were going to be remodeling my kitchen. I saw this model and saw many great reviews, so after reading about man other toasters, I decided to buy this toaster. First off, it is not as sturdy as I expected, compared to the previous Cuisinart model. Everything about it seems kind of cheap. I am from a generation where things were actually made to last, so things these days most of the time do not fulfill that from the jump. This toaster simply does not toast correctly. It burns the edges and the center is cooked correctly. It doesn't matter how much adjusting you do, it just doesn't toast correctly, so that is a bare minimum requirement for me. Secondly, the bagel setting does not seem to work like the other model and just toasts the bread exactly like regular toast, so not sure why it is even a setting. I will be buying another toaster soon as I don't like burnt toast or crummy eggo waffles when I make them on occasion. I wish I could give another recommendation, but I will be back to the drawing board when I start my search again in the near future. Even the most expensive toaster brands seem to have negative reviews, so this was why I went with this brand and model. I do not recommend it for others to purchase and I'm not sure why there are so many good reviews as I don't think I got a lemon, it just isn't that great.

This toaster is stunning! It feels very sturdy and it quickly toasts bread and bagels CONSISTENTLY. highly recommend

Cuisinart 2 large slice toaster. Nice design, construction. Works well.

We originally bought the CPT-180 model in January of 2020 and LOVED it. It was a great toaster. Consistent toasting. Solid control. Easy to clean. We even had to wash it out once after a minor kitchen disaster. After almost 4 years, it sadly got knocked off the counter and separated into several pieces that we could not safely reassemble.We purchased the CPT-180P1 in Nov 2023 to replace our dearly departed, much loved, earlier generation of the product, thinking it would be equivalent quality. Could not have been more wrong. The new generation feels cheap as soon as it is unboxed. The control knobs have a ton of play, making it hard to consistently get the same done-ness in a family of 8 where it is constantly getting changed to personal preferences.The thing reeked when toasting for almost 2 weeks. Smelled like burning plastic, even though I assume it is whatever they coated the elements with for protection during storage and shipping. The smell actually permeated the bread that was being toasted making it smell really un-appetizing. After about two weeks of almost daily use the smell did finally mostly go away. The toast down lever only latches about 60 percent of the time, meaning that we are constantly having to hit the lever multiple times to get the bread to stay down for toasting.I have not yet tried this new generation for the wide variety of breads/bagels/buns/etc that we were toasting in our old toaster. But it seems to work OK-ish for things like pop-tarts and stuff that the kids toast in the morning.
