Outstanding build and style. Excellent functionality and performance. The placement of the rack in the middle results in very uniform front/back toasting and, when needed, appropriate distance to the top heating elements for broiling. The bottom placement is very convenient for larger height trays or items to be heated. The screen is clear and easy to read. The illumination goes away when not in use for some time, saving energy and avoiding a distracting look. The stainless steel look is very classy. The crumb tray is very easy to clean regularly.
Cooks like an oven, actually I hardly ever use my big oven with this!! Cooks evenly, I have always had Cuisinart convection ovens, this is a newer model with a removable crumb tray!!!
Excellent overall. Quiet convection, even browning, easy to clean. Exterior surface gets hot so keep clear of the electric cords and a few inches away from other counter top items. Very happy with this purchase. My last Cuisinart convection counter top oven lasted 15 years.
This toaster oven is more compact than my last one and operates largely the same way. My one disappointment is that there is no oven light so you can't view the progress easily. Also, the settings require me to have a flash light nearby to see what I'm doing,
