After becoming user friendly with the dials it is a terrific appliance. Bought it because we like even toasting and that’s hard to find unless you use a conventional pop up toaster. This one toasted evenly. My very favorite feature, which very few toaster ovens have, is that the rack comes out automatically when you open the door saving knuckles from reaching in for toast and getting burned.
This is my second Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven. I use my oven everyday. I love that it is easy to use, easy to clean. Has the pull out crumb tray for easy clean up. It toasts, bakes and broils. It is great when you want to just cook something without heating up the entire regular oven.
I bought this toaster oven over a month ago replacing my more deluxe Cuisinart toaster oven. The old one still worked but looked bad on white enamel from the use I gave it the last 13 years. I use it twice a day everyday instead of heating up my oven. I love the new one for pull out crumb tray, rack coming out when you open the door. I miss the timer with time left to cook item. Preheat alert when set temperature has been reached.
My former oven was great. I had it for 14 years. My only complaint is that the embossed markers are not prominent enough. I have it in a dark corner of my kitchen & have to look really closely to see where the marker is pointing.
