CUSIMAX 4 Slice Stainless Steel Toaster with Digital Display, Silver

This toaster is essentially identical to one I bought here several years ago. A good all around everyday toaster with a nice digital countdown that is adjustable and lets you know exactly how much time remains until it is done. Makes getting the perfect toast very easy every time. Looks great and works great. My only regret is that these latter day toasters no longer open on the bottom for cleaning. It's a safety thing, they say. I don't think any being made now are any different, for cleaning you get a pull out crumb tray while the bottom remains closed. It's annoying to me but nothing can be done about it. If you happen to get something stuck down in there the only way to get it out is from the top and that can be ... interesting. Oh well, that's newfangled appliance safety for ya. This is a good toaster, would buy again. In fact I just did. Note, the "brand name" on this model changed over the last few years but it is absolutely the same identical appliance that I got last time. The shape of the timer knob changed a little, and the side panel is a different color, but it's the same, trust me. I used to work for a giant appliance maker, I know how to spot technical differences.

I really like this toaster. I haven't had a toaster since, well...ever. My parents had an old one at their house, the kind before the crumb tray. I didn't get one at all when I got married. No toaster and I was perfectly fine making toast in the oven. My mom got a new toaster and though I liked the crumb tray feature, I never bought one. Suddenly, I felt a desperate need for a toaster. Recent major back surgery has rendered me almost useless in the kitchen. I shopped around and liked the look of this one, as well as the features. Here are the pros and cons I've noticed after a few uses. Pros: It makes even toast, browned on both sides. I make mine on the four setting, though that might be overdone to some people's liking. (I bragged to my husband that I now make toast better than Bob Evans, which may be stretching it a bit, though it is good toast.) The stainless steel exterior looks nice and fits in well with my kitchen. Frozen waffles are a breeze and not the hockey pucks I used to make. My favorite feature is the countdown timer, which lights up like a spaceship and let's me know exactly how much time I have before my toast or waffles are done. It isn't described as a rapid toaster, but it is fast. I really, really like this toaster. Cons: As some reviewers have mentioned, the exterior of this toaster does get hot after use. I recommend investing in some small tongs to remove toast, etc., because I forgot, put my hand out to steady the toaster and learned the hard way. (It doesn't need to be steadied; I'm not sure why I did it.) Another thing is the lever isn't made of stainless steel, so I don't know if it will last over time. The price was a small issue, since it cost more than what I had intended to spend, but then again who can turn down spaceship capabilities rivaled only by the bread machine. As far as durability, I haven't had it long enough to say. I highly recommend this toaster. I think it is well worth the price and at the time I bought, was several dollars less on amazon.

We like this toaster very much;even though it’s 4slice it fits compactly on our kitchen Cabinet. The darkness preference seems to be on target. ( of the toast ) We like this shiny new toaster very much and recommend this appliance for quality, ease of use and the accuracy of toasting choice ( light to dark!

So far this is a good toaster. Does toast very well the way you like it

This is a very nice toaster and has a screen that shows the amount of time left to finish based on very intuitive settings. Makes excellent toast. Makes evenly toasted bread on all slots. Has a nice crumb tray to help with cleaning. Overall, I recommend this toaster.

Just love this toaster! Looks great and toasts reliably. My toast on 2 and my strudels on 4. Pops up perfectly, every time!

Love this toaster. Highly recommend. Have not had any issues with it

I looked for a long time looking at reviews and this one did not disappoint. The crumb trays easily pull out. The top is smooth so you can just wipe it down. My last toaster had a lip that caught crumbs and I would have to vacuum it to make it look nice. I did not think I would ever use the defrost function. Boy, was I wrong. I can't imagine a toaster without this option. We freeze our bread to help preserve it from getting stale or moldy. We now take out the slices we want, put them in the toaster and press the defrost button. After defrosting nicely, we push the lever down, select the amount of time we want it to toast and it comes out beautifully.
