Bella Pro Series 90062 vs Cuisinart CPT-122

This gets HOT around the outside of the toaster and the old toaster we had did not. Otherwise it seems good quality.

I suppose it's very likely that if this new toaster held the same heating components as the ones I bought decades ago, the whole appliance would maybe have melted into a puddle of flammable goo. But if I can't find a toaster that can take a frozen slice of bread to at least lightly browned and crisp enough to make some small amount of sound when you take a bite, I may take to just using my oven instead.

I must admit the stainless steel look is what really caught my eye for the purchase at first! It goes so well with everything in our kitchen! Now, with all of the features, I’ve fallen in love! The timer is great and I’m loving the cancel button so there isn’t a forced/eventually broken lever. My favorite feature by far is the frozen button option! It’s just the two of us in our household, therefore I find myself freezing a lot of our bread products. Instead of having to thaw them and run the risk of them being soggy, I can put them directly into the toaster and come out perfect!! Highly recommend!

The extra lift spring tension is too much and is able to lift the toaster off the counter before the bread gets lifted to the top. 5. I would give it five stars just for looks and design.

The most basic function of a toaster is to toast both sides equally and evenly. Sorry to say this one falls short, sadly like ever other toaster i’ve tried. No setting for frozen bread either.

Needed a utilitarian, functional, everyday, reliable piece of kitchen equipment. Yes, all of the above. Used to have difficulty toasting bagels and Bo...

consumer reports got this one wrong . this toaster is new to me so thus far function it is ok . Very cheaply made and the power cord , item most likely to cause a problem , is china cheap as you would expect to find on an inexpensive imported lamp . If it proves to be dependable I will replace the power cord for safety reasons

You can see the problem in the toaster wires, the tight ones don’t heat as much as the loose ones, but I’m not trying to adjust them and chance breaking them.
