I am happy with the way the try comes out when you open the door. I like the settings and the ease of just pushing the start button. Also, it is so easy to clean the crumb tray.
I ordered this toaster over because my other Cuisinart toaster oven finally bit the dust! I like this one, but it does seem a little flimsy compared to my other one.
I was very unhappy with this toaster oven-should have checked features before purchasing! Found it very annoying to not have a timer on oven-returned oven.
I bought this over a month ago to replace a Black & Decker that was getting old. I felt Cuisinart was a better brand name and offered a few more features. The performance, however, is less than the Black & Decker. I read all the instructions before using but have experienced some issues. When on higher temps, there is smoking; the toast is never consistently browned, even though the oven is on level counter; the toast rack slides forward whenever the door is opened.
This toaster oven does an OK job but for the fact that I limit my use of it because it emits a series of ear-piercing (to the point of painful) beeps to signal the toast is done. I have never had an appliance that makes noise like that; not my oven timer, not my microwave, not my refrigerator when the door is kept open too long, etc. For that reason, I would give it a "0" star rating if I could ("1" is the lowest).
