Best for Nothing, now. It is here as the clearest example of the problem this site exists to fix
Watch out for Cuisinart publishes the body size to two decimal places and no slot dimension at all
Published figure, not independently checked. Source: Cuisinart product page. Manufacturer slot figures are usually taken at the widest point of the opening; an independent measurement is usually taken where the bread has to pass.
This model is in the index precisely because we cannot fill in its most important row. Cuisinart’s own product page lists the outside of the box to a tenth of an inch and describes the slots only in prose: each holds two regular slices or one long bakery slice, and they are wide as well as long. There is no number for length, none for width and none for depth.
The body is 18 inches wide, the largest here, which tells you the slot is probably generous. Probably is not a measurement.
Cuisinart now shows the CPT-2500 as discontinued. A Canadian catalogue variant sold as the CPT-2500C is listed at 1500 W with the same seven shade settings and four-slice capacity, so if you find stock under that number you are most likely looking at the same machine.
If you own one and are willing to put a rule in the slot, we will publish your figures with your measurement noted as reader-supplied. That is a weaker class of evidence than an independent test kitchen and it will be labelled as such, but it is a great deal better than the nothing that exists now.
Have a figure we are missing, or one you think is wrong? Send it to us and we will publish it with the source named.
