I'm so happy to find a reasonably priced, easy to use toaster oven. It replaced another which had digital controls. That was by choice, but the controls sure didn't work as I had hoped. The oven ruled how I cooked, which isn't how it's supposed to be. This new Cuisinart model does everything I need, with controls that are plain and simple, and I get good results. Yay, for simplicity!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow! A toaster that works as advertised. It toasts evenly and quickly then turns itself off at exactly the setting I chose.

We had a much older toaster oven of this model and it was finally wearing out after over 8 years. The newer version is even better and makes excellent toast and bagels. The bagel feature is especially nice. We use this almost daily to reheat foods, toast bread, etc. Love it!

Overall this a good toaster oven. I like and trust the Cuisinart brand. For toast so far we are getting hardly toasted at all when setting the darkness to light but adjusting it to the middle level gives us burnt toast. I'm afraid to see what dark setting would do, possibly charcoal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs some refinements

This toaster oven works reasonably well; however, it needs some design, user friendly refinement. The toast function has an unusual and unessesary 5 bell chime when toasting is complete. Typically, toast is made in the morning and if you’re the first one up and making toast, you have to wake up the rest of the house while making toast at 6:00AM as the oven can mimic a morning alarm. A standard toaster just pops without 5 chimes to let me know the toast is done, it just shuts off.
Speaking of which, the oven settings have no auto off function so, on the other end of the spectrum, there is no timer or safety function to prevent me from forgetting that something is in the oven and leaving it there too long and using the oven function disengages the on/off button. This is where a timer and chime could be helpful in preventing kitchen mishaps; the oven will just stay on until(with no help from 5 chimes) I remember to take the food out. I understand that that’s how a standard oven works but with a toaster oven it’s more about convenience, and every other brand has at least a safety timer, and again, every other standard toaster, doesn’t need to tell me my toast is done but doesn’t care if I leave the oven section on for hours!

This is a sharp looking and easy to read unit that is larger inside while maintaining a small footprint. Heats up fast and cooks evenly. Doesn't scorch or burn things.

The custom classic toaster oven is a breeze to use. I really like how the shelf is easily removable to position the pan at a higher level for even cooking!
