Overview
The Cuisinart CPT-122BK is a compact 2-slice plastic toaster with wide 1.5 inch slots, 7 shade settings and cancel, defrost and reheat functions, built for small kitchens, dorms and offices.
- 2 wide 1.5 inch toasting slots
- 7-setting shade dial
- Removable crumb tray for cleanup
- 3-year limited warranty
Who it's for
Good for anyone with limited counter space who wants basic shade control and defrost or reheat functions without paying for a full-size toaster. Less suited to anyone who has had durability problems with budget plastic toasters before, since failure reports here cluster in the first one to two years.
Pros and cons
- Compact footprint fits small counters and dorm rooms
- Wide 1.5 inch slots fit bagels and thick bread
- 7 shade settings plus defrost, reheat and cancel
Performance notes
The high-lift carriage and 1.5 inch wide slots are built to fit bagels as well as standard bread, with the 7-setting shade dial controlling toast darkness and a separate defrost and reheat mode for frozen or cooled bread. A slide-out crumb tray handles cleanup. Reviewer experience on toasting evenness varies: several call the results even, while others report splotchy or inconsistent browning, particularly toward the end of the unit's life.
