We never even used the machine before it was put back in the box and returned. The lid wiggles all over and the adjustment for browning is very loose. Many reviews we read said the same thing, we did not do our due diligence, like we should have. We bought the square model, I believe it is the next model up in price and it is wonderful. This model should not be sold by Cuisinart, it is only hurting the high level of excellence that they are known for today.
