Title: embarrassingly bad
Review: How the R&D department at Cuisinart managed to convince themselves that this toaster is anything better than a big white doorstop is beyond me. The settings go to 6, but anything more than 2.2 is a guaranteed burn. There is a range of about 2-2.2 where you might get a certain browning, but it'll only be on 1/2 of the toast/bagel. Of the approx. 9" of length, only about 3" are hot, and usually scorchingly so. My wife has figured out that bagels come out decently on one side when placed ON the toaster, at a 4 setting. The thing buzzes like I would imagine an air raid alarm would do, when on. Purchased from Sears, where my experience with appliances has been sketchy at best, I will NEVER go back to that store for another.
