The oven appears to be functioning as advertised. However, the unit is very difficult to keep clean. It is advertised as "easy to clean" which is not true. Particularly the pan you insert is impossible to clean - have tried cleanser, Dawn power spray and other cleaners to no avail. We cover the pan with aluminum foil, but if anything seeps below, it stains the pan and looks very unsanitary.

The coffee maker is fine, but one feature I didn't notice when I purchased it is that the pot handle does not have a hinged lid like every pot I've ever seen. You have to pry it off and line it up to open up the pot and reattach the lid. Very inconvenient if you want to add a bit more water or something. So annoying is this that we dug in the cupboard and found an old pot that fits perfectly and works just fine with this brewer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is not like previous Cuisinart coffee makers we have had in the past. The top does not flip up allowing you to easily fill without removing it. The coffee is not the same, it has a bitter taste (the coffee we use is the same as we have used previously). The top of the unit drips water when you open it, which results in constant clean up. We have been unable to determine how the auto shut off works, even after reading directions. We were able to set it to the number of hours we wanted, but now do not know how to turn it on. Overall Mr. Coffee would probably be a better investment.

I have a barely month old Cuisanart toaster oven. The user’s manual recommends cleaning the interior after each baking/roasting to prevent build-up. i tried this, with no success.

I don't have a white one but it still makes coffee. I have a black one, so it makes black coffee. You have to add cream for white coffee. It is best to add the cream after it brews. Same with sugar. The gold filter leaves a horrible residue. Paper filters are much, much better. Aluminum filters are also bad. The warmer is a hotter, keeping your brewed coffee hotter than when it brewed - usually called Navy coffee. They do not make extra carafes for this model so be careful not to pour cold water on the hot carafe for your cold brew. Works best when plugged in, otherwise a very long brew time. Better overall brew because of the shower head water spray over the grounds instead of single spout drip which takes longer to wake up the shredded beans. Not self-cleaning, so do not brew without water. The 1-4 cup control actually works only if you use 1-4 cups of water and the same amount of scooped grounds. Be careful to properly seat the filter assembly or you will be cleaning up very hot coffee and grounds from whatever it sits on. So f you don't properly seat the filter assembly, it would be better to put the machine in a deep sink for ease of cleanup. Get a black ont - the coffee turns out better.
