I mainly bought this item just to use as a toaster. I’ve had this toaster oven for a while now and have primarily used it to make bagels.
I’ve had this toaster oven for a while now and have primarily used it to make bagels. From the first use, I found it very easy to operate, with simple mechanical controls that are straightforward and reliable.
Each time I’ve made bagels, using a variety of settings, they have consistently turned out well. The performance has been dependable and meets expectations for this type of appliance.
I would recommend this toaster oven to anyone looking for a simple and effective option.
Somewhat inconsistent toasting i.e., darker and lighter using the same bread one after the other.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler (TOB-40NNAS). We understand the frustration with inconsistent toasting. For more even results, ensure the bread slices are centered on the rack, avoid overlapping, and preheat the oven before use.

This is a great classic toaster oven broiler. It is simple to use. Just select the desired temperature and set it to bake, broil or warm. There is no timer. You just turn it off manually when the desired time is reached. For toast and bagel, you need to select the toast shade, light, medium or dark. Turn the function dial to toast or bagel and push the toasting start/stop button to start. The oven will turn itself off. It is highly recommended if you do not need any fancy functions, such as air-frying.
This is the second time I have purchased this toaster oven. I love this model. Most of the time I can cook for my husband using this toaster oven and don't need to heat up my regular oven. It is easy to clean and I use the toast, oven and broiler extensively. A great design!
I am glad I purchased this toaster oven! It saves time when toasting bread, bagels, or baking biscuits! Love the separate timer and cooking temps to chose from.
Had one of these for many years and replaced with same. This version has a better crumb drawer, less flimsy. Runs dark so set lighter than usual. Only negative is sometimes have to hit start button more than once. Was startled by new "ready" noise, lol. Works well, roomy, looks nice.
This is the third Cuisinart toaster oven i have purchased. The first one worked fine but the rods warped. The second one the sensor stopped working so it needed constant watching to prevent burning. I actually purchased a Breville to replace it but the learning curve was more than this 80 Plus year old cared to manage. I hope this will be the last toaster oven I need to buy. Performance-wise it's fine. Does each task as expected. I have many Cuisinart prouducts in my home. Most perform well. When replacements were needed i looked to other brands as over time I think Cuisinart quality is not what it used to be.
