I bought the toaster oven to replace our older toaster oven (not a Cuisinart) that was starting to give us some problems. I have used the new one for bagels and toast with both settings giving the right amount of toasting before shutting off automatically (only took one or two trials to get the desired setting. I have also used the oven setting to bake biscuits instead off the larger kitchen oven. Cuisinart products again work as expected.
This is a great toaster oven option for an affordable price. It heats up and toasts quickly and evenly. My only issue is the wording around the settings knobs is tiny and hard to read.
Even on the lowest setting, it burnt the toast. Still waiting on a replacement, but this seems to be a known problem that affects a lot of the toaster ovens. Cannot automatically trust that Cuisinart products will be worth the higher price.
Awesome toaster oven! I have made potatoes, brats, sweet potatoes, cookies, and the list goes on so far. Only thing that could make it better is if it was 100% non toxic stainless steel!
Replaced a toaster oven ,the same brand & model that we had for 12 years …we loved it ..used basically for toasting everyday . It had the ceramic center . This is same model ….does not toast right at all. WE have reread the instructions ..thinking we are doing something wrong . We believe that it might be the changes in the construction of this model…..?? VERY DISAPPOINTED …. THE TOAST COMES OUT LIKE CARDBOARD ….AND DOES NOT TOAST EVENLY ON BOTH SIDES .
