The convection oven works really well. My complaint is with the controls. The 4 setting on toast burns the toast. The 3 setting doesn't toast it. The three setting with Defrost burns the toast. The 2 setting with Defrost doesnt toast it. The shades need finer, like 1 through 30 instead of 1 through 7. I have a similar complaint about the bake settings. You can only set the temperature on factors of 25 so if your recipe calls for 420 degrees or 285, you're out of luck. You have to guess. Because the controls aren't finely graded enough, I give this "toaster" oven only 3 stars.
Previously owned a Cuisinart manual toaster oven which died so this was a replacement/upgrade. Like the digital controls, timer, toast darkness settings (which seem much more accurate than the old model),etc. Main complaint is the lettering is small, light and difficult to read, especially for us older folk
Have only had this appliance 3 weeks, but, so far, top ratings from my family. Like the reheat and bagel settings a lot. Also like that you can silence the alerts if that bothers you. The toasting is consistent and easy to adjust. Really a very nice oven.
Bought another Cuisinart as our old one was so good. Had it for around 15 years. This one is great so far. Easy to understand features and makes great coffee.
