Toaster wanted, not burner

I bought this 2 slice toaster because it had all the qualifications I list as pros, and to replace a Cuisinart 4 slice toaster..kids are gone and smaller toaster is fine. BUT the toaster, at the lowest setting possible, burned everything...bread and Thomas' thin corn muffins This did not seem safe to me so I called Cuisinart in case they had a recall. They said no but have returned it, and got another. This second toaster is still making very dark toast on the lowest setting and I am likely to return it as well...I do not want to be "babysitting" a toaster!
