Overview
The Cuisinart CPT-160ES is a 2-slice stainless steel toaster with 6 shade settings and dedicated bagel, defrost and reheat buttons. Its 1.5 inch slots fit standard bread and bagels, making it a straightforward everyday toaster rather than a wide-slot artisan model.
This is a basic dial-controlled toaster, not a digital or wide-slot model. The main selling points are the 6-position shade dial and the bagel, defrost and reheat buttons, which cover most everyday toasting needs without extra electronics.
- 1.5 inch wide slots fit bagels and thick bread
- Brushed stainless steel body with chrome and black accents
- Limited 3 year warranty
- BPA-free construction
Who it's for
Good for someone replacing a worn-out basic toaster who wants simple dial controls rather than a screen. Not for anyone who needs extra-wide slots for thick artisan bread.
Pros and cons
- Six shade settings cover light to dark toast
- Bagel, defrost and reheat buttons add flexibility
- Extra-lift lever raises small items for removal
- Slide-out crumb tray simplifies cleanup
- Shade dial feels loose to some owners
- Metal housing feels thin for the price
- A few units toast unevenly or too lightly
Performance notes
A minority reported the opposite, toast staying pale even on the darkest and bagel settings, suggesting some unit-to-unit variance in heating power. The extra-lift lever raises small items like muffin halves for easier removal, and the slide-out crumb tray sits below for cleanup.
