After having owned a toaster oven that was a total disappointment, I decided to splurge and buy a cuisinart. My children own one and I loved using theirs when I would visit. I am delighted! My last toaster oven, toasted the bread on one side and while cooking, I had to remember to flip it. I bought this strictly to toast bread and bagels and it’s awesome. I also heated up a slice of pizza. I placed the pizza on a piece of foil on top of the tray the toaster comes with and it heated up really well. I line the interior tray with foil as I want to keep this new addition to my kitchen in mint condition. This toaster oven is a workhorse and I highly recommend buying it!
We purchased this to replace our previous toaster. We had this exact model for years but it finally broke hence the replacement. We like this model for it’s simplicity of use as well as its appearance. The toaster works well for toasting, warming and baking and broiling. The only suggestion or complaint I have is that the cord is too short to secure after wrapping around the wedges designed to hold the cord.
I bought this product because it has a removal pan at the bottom to catch crumbs, but it has so much more. There are many settings, e.g., toast, bagel, bake, etc. I can even set the level of toasting I want. I love this toaster oven.
