If you make your toast the same every day, however, this wouldn't be much of an issue. There is also no click when you turn the knob, so it's a bit harder to know which level you've set. However, on the lightest setting the toast was a little too tight, on medium, it was slightly too dark, and on high it was a little too brown–but not burned. We also liked the satisfying click when you push the lever down to lower the bread. There are a surprising number of extra features for a relatively inexpensive toaster: Beyond the basic bread, bagel, and defrost setting, this toaster also has presets for waffles, pastries, English muffins, and single-slices. In our tests, the Cuisinart CPT-640 toasted bread evenly and didn't have any hot spots that would cause inconsistent browning. It's worth noting that of the five Cuisinart toasters we tested, two were among our favorites, while the other three were near the bottom of our list. The reasonably priced Cuisinart CPT-640 4-Slice Metal Toaster toasted bread better than any other oven under $60 (except for the BUYDEEM, which was a tie). Also, the knob doesn't click at different settings, making it a bit tricky to know what level you're selecting. This was not the most attractive toaster we tested.

While we like the uncluttered look of the clean lines, the Zwilling lacks the bells and whistles of other models that have preset functions for bagels, waffles, English muffins, and so on.ĭimensions: 12.2 x 11.3 x 8.1 inches | Weight: 8.38 pounds | Settings: 7 | Programs: 3

The matte black stainless steel casing and simple interface add a nice design, making this toaster worthy of being displayed on your countertop.

The slots are also wide enough to easily accommodate bagels or thick slices of bread. Other models we tested toasted bread unevenly, with extreme light and dark patches, but on the Zwilling's medium setting, we found that the bread came out to an even brown without any scorching or charring.Įach of the numbers corresponds to an appropriate level of brownness that you would expect, and the removable crumb tray is easy to find. The Zwilling Enfinigy Cool Touch Toaster evenly toasted bread, waffles, and bagels to a beautiful golden brown with a pillowy interior. Crumbs and fingerprints showed easily on the top of the toaster.
