What were they thinking?
I owned an older model of this toaster which finally died after many years of use. I was so excited to see that Cuisinart came out with a newer model, I ordered it for myself and a relative. After I had to spend a great deal of time removing the large Cuisinart adhesive sticker on the side of the toaster (you think we won't know it's a Cuisinart?), I plugged it in and dropped two pieces of bread into the "2 slice" toaster. Much to my surprise, my bread didn't fit. I buy a very common brand of multi grain and/or potato bread and two slices overlap in the "long" slot. If you turn the bread with the top facing sideways, it still won't work as it protrudes above the heat elements when lowered. I would have to cut off about 1/4 inch of one slice of bread to toast two slices at the same time. Are you kidding? The older model fit two slices with room to spare. For this price, the least Cuisinart could do is make a toaster that fits two slices bread that are larger than sandwich bread. It toasts beautifully, but who cares?
