The toaster oven is the right size for a counter top - smaller than a microwave but large enough to handle 6 slices of bread. The controls are easy to use and intuitive. Just turn the dial to choose a function (eg., toast, bake, broil, etc.) then push the temp or time button (if required) and again turn the dial to select a setting. Two nice features: using the convection feature is optional, and the defrost option may be used when toasting frozen bread, muffins or bagels. The notation on the buttons too small, but an LED light surrounds the appropriate buttons for each function, making it less of an issue. We decided to upgrade to a newer Cuisinart toaster oven, even though our 5 year old Cuisinart worked well. Lots of nice features in this upgrade.
Cookies bake unevenly unless the convection feature is on. I am still learning what this little oven can do. I like being able to make small recipes for two instead of using my big stove oven.
This replaces a larger toaster oven. So far it has worked fine. I coated the controls with clear nail polish after reading other reviews about the lettering wearing off. Heats quickly and cooks as desired. It is the most expensive toaster oven I have ever purchased, so hopefully it lasts awhile.
Great medium sized toaster oven. Love the way it toasts bread or english muffins. Reheat is great when warming up leftovers. Great crispy french fries. Haven't had it long enough to bake a cake etc. but I'm looking forward to it. Only slight downside is not having an interior light.
Nice,except that I have to turn the knob to get toaster settings each time. Why not have it so you just hit the Start button to start toasting on the existing settings? Also, I worry that the oven might be pushed against the cord, and the back is hot. You should make it so the cord it prevented from hitting the hot back panel.
