I replaced my old Cuisinart toaster oven with this one after several years of intense use. This new one is light years ahead of my old one and has done an outstanding job with every meal that I challenged it with.
I'm very pleased with this toaster oven. It's easy to use; the bake function provides even heat; the preheat lets you know when the oven is ready; and the timer turns the oven off at the selected time. You need to remember to place the rack in the center of the oven to toast. Oops, I burned the bottom of my English muffins, but that was my fault, and I won't let that happen again.
I do not like the beeping sound when brewing cycle is complete; it is a bit obnoxious in its tone and duration. Need option to turn it off if one chooses not to hear it. Carafe lid should be hinged but removable if one needs to.
I wanted a WHITE coffee pot that just makes coffee- this is almost exactly like the one I had before it and used for years- it is well-designed- clean- compact and easy to both use and clean- also reasonably priced- 5 stars!
