Title: First time Cook's Illustrated let me down
Product review: I bought this toaster to replace a toaster oven. As always before making a kitchen gadget purchase, I checked with Cook's Illustrated. They rated this the best relatively inexpensive toaster. I am so disappointed. A major complaint with making toast in the toaster oven is that it took so long, but this model takes even longer. A the maximum "browness" setting, the bread is typically still far from done, and inevitably requires a portion of another cycle. By the time the toast is browned, the bread is dried out. Good for making Melba Toast, I suppose.
