Our previous Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler lasted over 10 years without any issues whatsoever. We looked online for similar competitor products but none had the simple features that we wanted. And, the price was very fair.
The oven is handsome and the basic functions work well, but there are a few things that could be better. (1) There are no visible marks on the dials to show how they are set; one has to feel around for the raised ridges. A little stripe of silver model paint on the indicator ridges made them visible. (2) The baking pan is wide; it only fits in the 2 slots and so it is either very high or very low. It cannot be placed in an intermediate 3rd position on the upside down rack. Luckily the pan from our old toaster oven fits on top of the rack. (3) There is no timer for the bake, broil, and warm functions.
As with all quisinart appliances, this toaster oven is very well designed for both excellent performance and appearance. It is intuitive to operate, has very accurate settings, and is extremely versatile.
Finally a toaster oven that knows how to be a toaster. Fast. Effective. A real beauty. My wife is glad I’m no longer complaining about toasting an English Muffin again.
I am very pleased with my new toaster oven. It has more features than my old model, and is easier to use. The food is also ready quickly without the need for excessive waiting. It is also very easy to keep clean.
Cheap materials…not solid but flimsy…and most importantly outside gets extremely hot, Surprised Cuisinart stooped to this low quality product!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Simple, clean and it works. This machine is perfect easy to use, simple and clean looking fits perfectly on my counter. The only thing I wish it had was a timer for auto off.
This replaced our old toaster oven which died and I’m pleased with this Cuisinart. It cooks so much faster than our old one that we’ve had to adjust cooking times and slightly lower recommended temperatures to avoid burning food. But ya can’t complain about power! Rather have it and dial it back than needing and not having it. Hope it gives us several years of service.
