We bought this as a replacement for the same model that we had had for years. Was disappointed that the the Pizza setting was replaced with a Warm setting. The Pizza feature was a very useful feature that seemed to use both the broiler and bale functions. The Warm setting is nothing more than Bake set for a low temperature.
Toaster oven is great. It has the toast, broil and bake options. We use it mostly for toasting or reheating items. This is my third Cuisinart in over 15 years. My last one, the heating coils did just that. They curled up, and then one day we noticed a spark coming from where one of the coils had bent. So knew it was time to replace. It had been somewhere between 5- 8 years since we had a new one. Other than that problem, I have never had an issue with the toaster over. Fits the space we have, and looks neat and clean on top of the counter.
I've had this model for years and use it more than my regular oven. This one was purchased to replace the same model which some idiot house guest broke. I love the fact that I just need to push the "Toast" button to toast and not have to set a separate timer. Large enough to bake a small pizza or six slices of toast.
This toaster over worked great for the 1st 6 months, then the toaster button would not set - it keeps turning off immediately. The other day, I found that it had started itself even though it was set to off! Now I have to unplug it every time in use it. I have had many Cuisinart appliances but this one is completely disappointing...and dangerous!
