We've had this toaster oven for 10 weeks. Baking and broiling functions are fine; it heats up quite quickly. However, toasting is a challenge. The level of toastiness is inconsistent, regardless of how where we have the indicator. Also, just this week we noticed that the finish is starting to chip off the baking/broiling tray. This appliance does not meet the standards to which I've become accustomed from Cuisinart.

We’re sorry to hear the Cuisinart® Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler is not meeting your expectations, particularly with toasting consistency. For more even toasting results, we recommend adjusting rack position and monitoring settings closely, as variations can occur depending on bread type and placement. Please note that aesthetic concerns, including finish wear, may occur with normal use over time. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve future models.
It certainly is a pleasure to use the Cuisinart Toaster Oven Broiler. This is an upgrade from the one I replaced including the 1800 watt, which I didn't have before. So far, all the food I've cooked in this oven was perfect. All of the features have easy to use dials, it quickly preheats, comes with broiler pan and rack, has a brushed stainless steel finish, a non-stick interior, and an easy clean crumb tray. I really like the "Even Shade Control" which monitors the toasting temperature. Very satisfied with my purchase.
This toaster oven is far superior to others we have owned. We had this one for years before it gave out. We purchased a cheaper one that looked good. Bad mistake, the toast was uneven and took multiple passes to get finished.
We bought another of these and are very pleased with its performance.
Great toaster oven! It looks beautiful on my kitchen counter and works perfectly. I’ve used it for toasting bread, but will find many other uses for it.
My previous Cuisinart Toaster Oven lasted over 20 years so I wanted the same brand. The one I bought was just what I wanted! I also have a Cuisinart Food Processor which I have also had for over 20 years. I will keep buying Cuisinart as long as I need something new. How's that for a review?😊
this is an excellent toaster with the four heater elements is very fast to heat and gives a more even toast on the bread compared to the two-element kind. love it.
