What the testers found

Reviewed's Best Value toaster: "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." It's lightweight plastic, though, and "a fat New York-style bagel is a tight fit."
