What the testers found
Reviewed's Best Value toaster, from the same roundup that ranks the Breville first: "Despite its rock-bottom price, the Cuisinart 2-Slice Compact is beautifully designed and performs well." "When we toasted five 2-slice batches in a row on medium, we got 10 slices of identical toast in about six minutes." The catch: it's lightweight plastic, and "a fat New York-style bagel is a tight fit."
