Cuisinart Plastic Compact 2 Slice White Toaster

There's no interactive video screen, AI chat bot toast color agent to help you select the perfect raising bread toast hue, or interface with Alexa to automatically order more butter. It doesn't have user programmable pulsing LED lights that sync with your SONOS music system. You cannot control it from Home Kit. There is no micro SD card slot or USB-C charging port. There are 4 buttons and a rotary switch to set the desired toast time. Plunge the bread and toast pops up! It's not retro, just simple. It works well at it's simple design intention. Highly recommended.

This toaster replaced an older Cuisinart of the same exact style. The older model still worked, but didn't toast as fast as when it was new, and the heating coils were coated with food residue making the heating uneven. We had the older model for at least 12 years, thus I felt I could trust Cuisinart to make a reliable appliance. The new model looks great, has an easier to read darkness dial and it toasts great. We are very pleased with our replacement choice.
