We bought this a few weeks ago in need of a new toaster oven.
It’s a nice size, holding 4 large pieces of toast. It has many options such as toast, bake, broil, warm, etc
I don’t like the loud beeping alarm that goes off when your food is done toasting / cooking. There should be an option to lower the volume or even shut it off.
Also, there is a lever to choose how dark you want your toast. If you keep it in the middle, it still makes your food well done. You. Need to put it in very lightly toasted.
This is my second toaster oven to own. The first one was a different brand. It never cooked evenly and I ended up giving it away after 4 months. I bought the Cuisinart about a month ago. It cooks quick! It toasts great! I am so happy with it! In some of the reviews people were concerned because there’s not a timer. When you set it on “toast”, when it’s finished, it beeps and shuts off. Works great for me! The sound of the “beeper” is very loud, but in my busy house, that’s noisy with kids, Inlike having something loud!
I RECIEVED THIS TOASTER OVEN FOR CHRISTMAS & WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT BACK IF NOT A GIFT. THE DIAL ARE REALLY HARD TO READ & PRINT IS TO SMALL. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR RACK ETC ARE ALSO NOT TRUE TO WHAT THEY SAY, BURNS EDGES OF TOAST TAKE THIS TRAY IN & OUT ALSO WITH THE RACK, IF YOU BAKE SOMETHING IT DOES IT LIKE TOAST.
It's the right size and looks nice. Toasting and broiling works great. Baking is not quite like an oven. I've burned the top of some things that I've tried baking.
The black knobs are very difficult to see,even after we have had it for a month. We have even used a flashlight twice p pitiful!
The wire rack is deceiving. If used to have the door opening to pull out rack, which was one of the reasons this device was chosen, then you have to use your fingers or a fork to get toast off rack..All previous devices, the toast slid off effortlessly. So we turn the rack upside down in order to slide toast out, but lose the pull out advantage.
After working every morning for a month now there are times when its not toasting and indicating by ding the toast is done. This morning took three tries to get bread toasted. At the second try of pushing button it went off after seconds. Yes I have controls at toast and had to move indicators to darker for toast to brown.
I bought this to replace a very old Black and Decker that stopped working and on the whole am very pleased with it. The interior is deeper than the B&D, though the width is a little less. The only fault I can find with it is that the control knobs should have a contrasting stripe on the raised indicator to show what the setting is. I used white appliance paint to apply a thin stripe.
