Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

BEWARE: Thought I was upgrading my much cheaper Black and Decker 4 slice toaster that I got 3 years out of before one side burned out. Went with this Amazon recommended Cuisinart CPT180. We especially want evenly toasted bread over all other features. Well - this one seemed OK for 2 months, then last week it stopped evenly toasting - the inside element now runs at about half the heat so one side of the toast is light, and the other is darker. I called the Cuisinart customer service line and after waiting 15 minutes I hung up. Disgusted with Cuisinart, I checked all the toaster reviews, and ordered an Oster 4 slice toaster that got great reviews (better than this Cuisinart) and for $20 less! I doubt if Cuisinart will ever answer their phone, so this one goes into the spare toaster bin and we will report back on the Oster. If it outlasts this Cuisinart, I will report back. Meantime, read the reviews on the Oster - at least on paper it is better and cheaper.
