I purchased this toaster oven after my pop-up toaster died. What an upgrade this was! So far, I have broiled asparagus, perfected my toast making skills and appreciate the convenience of being able to view my food as it cooks. It would be nicer if there were a light on the inside to illuminate the food better. The window is enough though. Also, I believe I am saving on electricity by not using my large oven as much.
Give it 5 stars, however we bought our original toaster 4 years ago, we needed it to replace it and got one that it did not the work as the previous one so we returned, order a replacement that came defective as the crumbs tray was bended, also brought back and now we are waiting for the replacement, hopefully it will be operating as our 1st one, cross our fingers!!!!
Disappointing, as I own a variety of Cuisinart products ( coffee maker, pots and pans). The top of the oven and the door get very, very hot when in use. Hot enough to burn your hand. Also, the oven tips forward when you open the door to remove the toast.
I love our new cuisinart toaster oven. it has a safe feature that shuts off when you forget it to turn it off. It also has different functions from toasting to baking and also has 2 baking tiers.
Excellent classic toaster oven. Works well and heats evenly. This replaced the same (but older ) model and is improved from the previous one. So far, very happy with this purchase.
