This toaster works very, very well with gluten-free bread products. The BAGEL setting toasts a gluten-free bagel's cut surface perfectly and warms and dries the crust side making it nearly like a real one. I can not eat anything with gluten (wheat and other grains). It provides a good even toasting automatically. This unit has a good price, simple to use, and gave me back toast. Many of the products that try to replace bread, bagels, or muffings are minimally good when untoasted. Toasting them gives a better texture and taste.
You should delete this item from your sales. It was such a disappointment that I am surprised they are still in business - an $8.00 toaster from Walmart does a much better job just doesn't look as nice. We ordered this toaster because we wanted something small and simple just to toast bread evenly. The description on your website said that this was a product that would do just that.
I am very pleased with this item so I also brought the electric kettle and the die-cast can opener and could not be happier with this brand. The toast comes out perfect and is easier to get the toast out by raising the lever. What can I say but I love it. The sleek black chrome face does not leave you with a surface that is hard to keep clean.
Not worth the $60, so I returned it and pulled my cheap plastic toaster out of the closet and got back to having evenly browned toast. I tried it on both fresh and frozen bread with no luck after numerous attempts. This toaster looks great. but neither slot will brown both sides of toast.
We're not talking rocket science, here. The settings such as "defrost" and "bagel" don't make any difference as far as I can tell. I can't believe how difficult it is to make a toaster that toasts correctly. I too shelled out extra money to get a "quality" toaster and found that no matter what type of bread or setting I use it seems to have only two results: barely warm or burned on one side. Maye there was a bad batch from the Cuisinart factory, but I certainly got one of them. Irritating. Anything higher than 2 seems to burn, so I have to have it on the lowest setting, stand by the toaster and repeatedly toast it, switching the bread around (only the middle sides toast) and monitor carefully so it doesn't burn. Wide slots are nice for bagels, but I too found it doesn't take many breads longer than your "wonder bread" square size unless you cut the ends off or put it in sideways so the edge sticks out and doesn't get toasted.
