It works much like the original version we replaced . Old one had heating element front lower started to grow and warp. New version ( N ) looks the same. Only real complaint is the beeper when done is 3 times as loud as the old. It sounds like the smoke detectors going off. If I knew it was this loud I would not have purchased it.
I'm still getting use to it. One thing is the buzzer it is to loud and hurts out ears. My old one which was a Cuisinart was better except the all the information that was painted on the front wore off. All my kitchen top appliances are Cuisinart. I would recommend this to a friend warning them of the loud buzzer on toast that goes longer then I feel it needs to
Just remolded my kitchen. Needed that “Perfect” Toaster Oven Broiler to compliment my new kitchen. The Cuisinant-Custom Classic is it! It is sized just right - does not take up entire counter. The look is clean & sleek. Wonderful addition to my kitchen.
I replaced my previous cuisinart toaster oven, used every day for about 8 + years, works great, used many different brands thru the years & this one's the best by far, wouldn't buy anything else!
