I purchased this unit a couple of months ago when my old toaster oven stopped working ( not a Cuisinat). My daughter had a Cuisinart at her beach house and I liked it features very much. I have used all the features on my unit and I sattisfied with the results.
This little convection oven is very useful and easy to use. However, after a couple weeks use the numbers on the touchpad wear off. I can remember what most are, and if you are setting certain functions those buttons are illuminated. Would be 5 stars if the buttons were still visible... guests can't use it if they can adjust the settings easily.
I love that it doesn't heat up the countertop. With the exception of the letters coming off within a short amount of time having it (less than a month) I can't imagine going a day without it.love the features.
I'd give this the 5 stars but had to return and purchase product again as the cooking display (example: shade, temperature and timer ) wore off within 1 month after purchase. So far the replacement is not doing this. The only draw back I wish the unit had was an interior light.
Bought this about 2 months ago - size is great so I can often make dinner in this instead of using regular oven. It toasts things really well and preheats fast. My kids can use it easily and so it makes them more independent. Only drawback is the printing is already wearing off the buttons. I am pretty sure we will remember what is what but it is disappointing that the labels (start, temp. Etc) weren’t more durable
