Cuisinart CPT-142BKP1 4 Slice Compact Toaster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with toaster. Pops items all the way up and still has an override lift available for small items to bring them up high when done toasting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does the job. I expected a sturdier build, considering my experience with the brand through other products and the price I paid.

Bought this toaster 12/2025. First slots are too short, normal pieces of bread don't fit but not a deal breaker for us. Second, and worse, we started toasting (very unevenly!!) at #3 setting. We don't toast things a lot, maybe a couple of times a week. Gradually we had to increase the setting as the toast began coming out lighter and lighter. Now in September 2026 and we are at 6 out of 7, and its barely toasting.... Sad. We thought a Cuisinart product would perform better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toaster works very well. It's easy to adjust, and has all the different types of bread.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago and love it. It toasts really evenly and you can't beat the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The buttons feel quite plasticky, and the blue indicator lights also look somewhat cheap. However, the toasting performance is pretty good. Overall, this product seems designed to keep manufacturing costs as low as possible while focusing more on actual toasting performance and value for money. When used several times within a short period, the first two cycles are fairly consistent. The third cycle may be slightly weaker. For example, on the third cycle, setting it to level 4 may produce results closer to level 3. The pop-up action is only average, so you may sometimes need to manually lift the lever to make it easier to remove the toast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice little toaster, different settings is a plus, perfect size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this choice. Much easier than the toaster over I had... didn't need all the extra features...

Works fine, although seems to toast one side of bread more fully than the other. The only issue I have is with the One Slice slot. I am celiac and my toasting is to always use the leftmost two slots. If I use the One Slice slot, my bread is contaminated by the breads from other users. Does one really have to use the One Slice slot?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live my new 4 slice toaster. Great color. Easy to use. Thank you.
