After our Mr. Coffee died after just over a year old, we decided to spend a little more and go with Cuisinart. What a huge difference. The coffee is great and the coffee maker is much better made. You can just feel the difference. I think we made the right decision.
Overall I've been happy with the toaster oven. After one year I'm having trouble with the "toast" function. I turn the dial to toast and the desired shade. Press the start button. Then periodically it turns off seconds after I started it. I try it again and it does the same thing. i try it again and it won't register anything.
Easy to operate. Just push a button to start. Previous model one had to dial and get the right setting. I hope it lasts as long as my other Cuisinart . That had to be replaced because I broke the carafe. One thing I notice is that the water never seems to completely drain after washing it.
This is a really good toaster oven. The control panel seemed a little confusing at first but not a problem after a couple of uses. It has a lot of interior room without taking up excessive counter space. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and found that some of the complaints were really due to personal preference rather than a problem with the oven. For example, some people did not like that it automatically shuts off when the timer is finished. I really like this feature for the safety value. My husband was always walking away from the old toaster oven without shutting it off. I would rather have to reheat a forgotten item than set the cupboards on fire. I did take a reviewer’s advice and put clear finger nail polish on the buttons to prevent the words from rubbing off. So far, so good. This seems to me to be something the company should fix though. Overall Oven performance has been great. Glad that I purchased this model/brand.
Good substitute for heating up my oversized gas oven. Roasted asparagus and broccoli for two very well. Roomy interior holds a dinner plate. Doesn't seem to be well calibrated for lower temperatures.
Quality oven for the price. A bit disappointed in its toasting abilities. Slow a not very even. You actually need to buy a separate toaster. The only other issue is the function buttons. The blue backlight and size makes it difficult to read what function your choosing.
