we purchased this so we could stop using our oven since there is just two of us. This is my best purchase. No more hot kitchen and food cooks great. we use for breakfast toast and bagels to a full dinner for two. Heats evenly, toasts evenly..clean up is a breeze
I love the convenience and speed of this toaster oven! It is the best for re-heating leftovers that you want to remain crispy (like french fries!) and making perfect nachos- It pre-heats really fast, and saves energy by giving you a timer that can auto-shut off the oven when complete. I also like the timing count down feature when toasting and the "shade" selection is pretty accurate. The pull out crumb tray is easy to clean- and the overall look is very classy.
I had a stand alone toaster oven before this and this oven is so superior. I can bake anything I desire in it (adjusting for size) and it does the job beautifully. Makes toast and bagels to virtually any shade, and it is easy to clean! One of the best purchases you will make if you are looking to replace a toaster oven.
We finally settled for this convection toaster after exchanging 2 other products. We're absolutely happy with this convection toaster. First, it fits perfectly in our modern kitchen with sizes that both functional and yet not too over imposing. Second, its simple yet practical and easy to use features allow getting our various types of food ready in no time and with little effort. Finally, a sweet deal is a great deal when we found a product that we like so much, with a very reasonable price.
I replaced my toaster with the Cuisinart-deluxe and have been extremely happy with it. My bagels have come out the best they ever have. I have been experimenting cooking Italian sausages and pork chops to my satisfaction. So much easier than using my oven. I just wish there were more instructions on baking different things. Very happy with this purchase.
