Should have bought the more expensive model of this brand. The buzzer is very loud. The brand is good. I owned a more expensive model for years. The element cracked in the old one I had.
I got this about a month ago, still trying to figure it out. It toasts good, bakes good, but cannot figure out the pan that came with it. Doesn't fit on the rack, door won't close, have to take rack out and then use it but picture shows both.
This is a very nice oven. However, the rack positions are not that great- either too high or too low. Also, the raised pointer on the knobs is very hard to see. I used some white paint to paint the top of the pointer so it can be seen more easily. Still, overall a very nice toaster oven.
Not sure I am a complete fan of this toaster. First time I heard the beep at end of toasting, I thought I had set off the smoke alarm. We really put it to the test with family from Europe who wanted bagels every morning. We have had it a month - I'm still trying to like it.
I do have some recommendations. I would like to have a light inside the oven so I wouldn't have to open the door it to see how brown something is getting. Also, it seems to be slow heating up. It may be because I haven't had it very long and need to use it more. Also, it is hard to tell where the knobs are supposed to be set as there is no easy marker to let you know where to stop. The noise (bell?) that tells me the time is up is terribly loud.
I purchased a Cuisinart Toaster because we really like the one we had before. It seems to be slightly bigger than our old one, which is not a problem. However the front of the items within the toaster are not well toasted, or whatever. Very disappointed as we had a Cuisinart Toaster and have two Cuisinart coffee makers (love them). Maybe there is just something wrong with this one.
