I’ve owned this toaster oven for only a month and use it every morning to make toast. It comes out very well. I haven’t baked with it yet but I hope to use in the summer as an auxiliary stove to avoid heating up the kitchen. The only thing I don’t like is the loud sound it makes when toast is done. A simple bell would be nicer. It’s a pretty replacement for another brand Stove I had for many years.
I have owned several countertop ovens over the years and this Cuisinart is one of my favorites. I live in a studio apartment and was looking for a small oven that is capable of getting hot enough to cook casseroles and bake a potato. While the oven is smaller than some I have used previously I am very happy with the performance. My only complaint is the control knobs are not easy to adjust to your desired setting. The all black outer surface of the knob has ribs all the way around. The rib you need to set on your desired temperature, function or toast shade is only slightly taller making it difficult to see if you have it where you want it.
We have never owned a toaster oven but wanted to have something in our family room in the basement of our house for snacks. This has been great. Heats well. Good comes out warm and crisp and it doesn’t take long for this little guy to get up to temp.
I am not all that happy with this toaster oven. It takes a long time to heat up and the plug in cord is too short. Cord should be at least twice as long as it is.
