CUSIMAX 4 Slice Stainless Steel Toaster with Digital Display, Silver

I really like this toaster. I haven't had a toaster since, well...ever. My parents had an old one at their house, the kind before the crumb tray. I didn't get one at all when I got married. No toaster and I was perfectly fine making toast in the oven. My mom got a new toaster and though I liked the crumb tray feature, I never bought one. Suddenly, I felt a desperate need for a toaster. Recent major back surgery has rendered me almost useless in the kitchen. I shopped around and liked the look of this one, as well as the features. Here are the pros and cons I've noticed after a few uses. Pros: It makes even toast, browned on both sides. I make mine on the four setting, though that might be overdone to some people's liking. (I bragged to my husband that I now make toast better than Bob Evans, which may be stretching it a bit, though it is good toast.) The stainless steel exterior looks nice and fits in well with my kitchen. Frozen waffles are a breeze and not the hockey pucks I used to make. My favorite feature is the countdown timer, which lights up like a spaceship and let's me know exactly how much time I have before my toast or waffles are done. It isn't described as a rapid toaster, but it is fast. I really, really like this toaster. Cons: As some reviewers have mentioned, the exterior of this toaster does get hot after use. I recommend investing in some small tongs to remove toast, etc., because I forgot, put my hand out to steady the toaster and learned the hard way. (It doesn't need to be steadied; I'm not sure why I did it.) Another thing is the lever isn't made of stainless steel, so I don't know if it will last over time. The price was a small issue, since it cost more than what I had intended to spend, but then again who can turn down spaceship capabilities rivaled only by the bread machine. As far as durability, I haven't had it long enough to say. I highly recommend this toaster. I think it is well worth the price and at the time I bought, was several dollars less on amazon.

I have been looking for a decent toaster that do what it says in the description that it is supposed to do. This is one of the best toasters I ever bought and it looks so good on the kitchen counter.

Fabulous toaster. Do much better Jobs than what I have before. Easy to use, the countdown timer is a nice feature so you know when to return to get your food.I like the timer so you can get the toast in and know when it’ll be done along with the other things going with it. I feel like it is a good quality toaster.

So far this is a good toaster. Does toast very well the way you like it

Besides is excellent for toast at one time the price is excellent value for your money and durability I've had over two years with no problems and the time or keeps you from burning anything heat distribution is evenly

This toaster is essentially identical to one I bought here several years ago. A good all around everyday toaster with a nice digital countdown that is adjustable and lets you know exactly how much time remains until it is done. Makes getting the perfect toast very easy every time. Looks great and works great. My only regret is that these latter day toasters no longer open on the bottom for cleaning. It's a safety thing, they say. I don't think any being made now are any different, for cleaning you get a pull out crumb tray while the bottom remains closed. It's annoying to me but nothing can be done about it. If you happen to get something stuck down in there the only way to get it out is from the top and that can be ... interesting. Oh well, that's newfangled appliance safety for ya. This is a good toaster, would buy again. In fact I just did. Note, the "brand name" on this model changed over the last few years but it is absolutely the same identical appliance that I got last time. The shape of the timer knob changed a little, and the side panel is a different color, but it's the same, trust me. I used to work for a giant appliance maker, I know how to spot technical differences.

Fantastic toaster. Takes really wide slices. User-friendly.

Light in weight but stylish. Looks great on the counter. Toasting dial accurate with multiple settings. Blue LED timer light quite tasty. Has an illuminated button to eject toasted at will. Ejection is strong: toaster waffle jumps out of toaster. Replaced my 20 year old Cuisinart toaster. Very pleased.

Quality item
