the toaster function is terrible. If you select medium (middle of the dial) it burns the toast. If you lower the setting the toast has no color. The only way to get browned toast is to watch and remove from machine before the toast is burnt.
This is by far the very best toaster oven, I love it, and all Cuisinart products!!! Its attractive and doesn't take up a large part of my counter, and its affordable. I also have this oven at my condo in Florida and wouldn't consider any other product. Its perfect for toasting, baking and roasting with great results (and I've done all three) and I love the fact I don't have to start my large stove oven. If in doubt, this is the perfect purchase.
I haven’t used it for the first time just yet, but I have had ovens like this before. I like the fact that it’s also a toaster. I think it has the perfect size, and it looks so nice in my kitchen.
I have not had it that long; however, I am impressed thus far. I cannot believe how fast that the toaster feature works. It's quick as a hiccup! I love the fact that you just slide out the crumb catcher tray, clean it off and you are back in business. Everything is easy to understand and it has a great number of features that I look for to using. It is very attractive and it matches perfectly with my Cuisinart coffee maker. Thank you for your wonderful products.
