very convenient and informative controls.
the blue led lights and controls are great and you can veiw the toast without turning it off.
it has buttons for warm, defrost, and bagels(toasts on one side then).
there are some more buttons in the front that i've not had to use.
the buttons are bright and easy to see.
but this the best and last toaster i expect to ever need to purchase.buy it.[...] pros: easy to clean, even heating, last toaster you will buy, precise controls, versatile best uses: kitchen describe
- controls are a bit different from most toasters, but that makes getting the desired finished product even easier.- so nice to be able to monitor the first time toasting a bread/bagel,etc.
the assortment of colors was alos a big plus, allowing us to match the red knobs of our wolf 30" range.this is the second toaster we had shipped to us.
we like the separate controls for each set of two slots.
each pair of slots has individual controls for toasting.
great toaster pros: easy to clean, even heating, excellent heating, lots of room, precise controls best uses: kitchen
the controls are simplified and easy to use, and with a little bit of trial and error you can toast your bread to an exact shade of doneness.
simple controls - all with nice, high quality
the controls are very good.
we're still learning the best way to adjust controls to our liking, but am thrilled with the timing buzzer and the lift bar.
it has a lot of controls, but spend a few minutes learning all of them and you will be so happy with the different settings and how your toast, bagels, etc.
features we like: the dual controls for each side (2/2) are very useful, and the lift feature has come in handy for smaller items like mini bagels.
the controls are easy to use and seem that they will stand up to daily use well.
put in the waffles, press down the handles, push the defrost bottom and presto, perfect waffles everytime.
the controls work and i love the lifter.
the waring had cheap plastic controls that were wearing after only a few months, it became very hard to get the toast to stay down.
handsome and classic design combined with simple controls and easily cleaned surfaces which fit most decors make it a 5 star buy.
we gave up our toaster oven and were looking for a stainless toaster with simple controls and easy to clean/keep clean.
it has special buttons for "bagel", "frozen", and "cancel" which pops your toast or bagel out immediately.
the three buttons to the left of the dial (cancel, bagel, and frozen) all work, although i haven't tired the "frozen" one yet.
the controls work well with good differentiation in level of toasting and the release mechanism that allows the toast to pop up is so quiet we refer to unit as the
since the controls are on the end, as a practical matter it can't be used unless it is perpendicular to the back wall, and since it's elongated it takes up 3/4 of the space from the back wall to the
they could improve it by putting the controls on the front, but this is a minor flaw.
the temperature control knob and other buttons are well designed, well placed and a breeze to use.
positives: toasts evenly, quickly, accurately; handles frozen items very well; cool touch exterior; cord management.
this toaster also has two buttons to press for bagels and another button to keep toast warm.
i enjoy the easy-to-use 'warm' and 'bagel' buttons, and the removable crumb tray.
this toaster's controls are spaced far away from the toasting slots.
the controls are pleasant to use and have a good tactile quality about them.
it is solidly built, sized right (its footprint is not overly large), has sturdy controls that are intuitive and full-range, toasts uniformly, is safely cool to the touch, has a very convenient
it is very well constructed, the controls work great, and we get perfect toast and english muffins every time.
it does exactly what it was meant to do, toast bread evenly and handles bagels easily.
it's massive and metallic with big, solid, simple controls.
love the look, love the controls and love the way it toasts evenly.
i like the fact that it has two separate controls so you can toast two different things at the same time and we also use the bagel setting.
this toaster reeks quality and has so many neat buttons and lights that it makes it fun to use.
it feels like it is twice the weight; the controls are simple and ingeniously logical.
to buy all new apliances we looked around and ended up with another breville, the new functions are all great and looks great on the bench the kids think the buttons are cool and the lit up timer.
but, it's got these cool tech buttons that do all the heaviest work, like moving the toast up and down.
even toasting, self lowering and rising, led lit buttons and controls.
this t-fal toaster is great...handles the largest bagels with ease.
don't push down both handles on the side at once with any force, the toaster will flip forward.
not too many buttons/options to make it ridiculous - just a functional and stylish kitchen appliance.
my kids love it because they can use it at the same time but since it has different controls, one can use the light setting and the other the dark one.
the only downfall to this toaster is the darkness selector knobs turn to freely.
the only drawback is that i have to put my glasses on to determine which of the three auxillary buttons is the reheat because the label size.
precise heating and consistent results pros: easy to clean, even heating, precise controls cons: make plug right angle des best uses: kitchen
look at any other competing long slot toaster and all of the controls are on the end.
this is a nice sleek looking alternative to the big knobs and curved edges on most of the latest retro toasters.
it works well and very nice hidden buttons and features.
all the controls, crumb trays included, are on the front, making it super easy to use.
buttons and controls have a solid feel to them.
on the positive side: the mechanism to raise the toast higher than normal when retrieving it is useful; the slot width accommodates fat bagels well; independent controls for pairs of slots doesn't
the controls are very sturdy and do not have a chinsy feel to them, so it is well made.
the buttons are pure simplicity to operate.
knobs at first looked like plastic (really smooth finish), but are metal (cast zinc, i think) as advertised.
pros: even heating, excellent heating, lots of room, precise controls best uses: kitchen describe yourself: avid cook
i think the reviewer who said it doesn't toast, either had a defective toaster or didn't see the controls to change the darkness.
it does take up a lot of counter space, but its even toasting and easy controls are well worth it.
good variance of heat controls too.
there are two sets of controls which is nice.
wide slots and temperature controls for both sides.....you can toast anything in this thing!
i love the looks of this toaster and all it easy to use controls and the design is awesome and i love the slanted top and extra popup easy to remove slice feature.
both sides have independent cancel buttons.
the controls are intuitive, it works flawlessly, and looks amazing.
also, as a nitpick, the buttons for the controls have a cheap feel to them when pressed.
pros: love the digital controls and the timer.
it does have a few controls for different things to toast, but is easy to use.
it handles thick slices of homemade bread very nicely and does a nice job of browning evenly.
i wish toaster controls were on the side so the toaster would not stick out from the wall so much.ronp
we toast everything from long slices of crusty sourdough to thick raisin-cinnamon bagels....this cuisineart handles them all.
it's nothing more than a $20 toaster with two annoying bright blue lights that stay on all day and night encased in a thin stainless steel metal shell with a lot of useless buttons.
it doesn't matter which slot i use, the toast is consistently the same degree of "brown." each pair of slots has its own set of controls, so you can toast to different degrees of "brown" at the same
bagels and has two adjustable controls.
the different features/buttons are great.
even though it is somewhat over-sized, the excellent toasting, convenient tap button for bagels and easy forward controls makes this an excellent toaster for a very good price.
all of the buttons and pulls are easy and intuitively obvious, you don't need a degree to operate it.
instead, there are push buttons for reheat and bagel modes.
it doesn't have fancy controls such as "pop tart" or "defrost" like other toasters, but i haven't noticed the need for those features either.
