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).
THIS TOASTER OVEN IS THE BEST WE HAVE EVER OWNED,,,CRUM TRAY PULLS OUT FROM THE OUT, SMALL ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY TOAST BREAD, BIG ENOUGH TO MAKE SMALL PAN OF CORNBREAD, BAKE SWEETPOTATOES JUST PERFECT! THANK YOU, EDYE TN
This toaster oven is a great addition to the kitchen. With this appliance I don't have to use my main oven to heat up or cook smaller food items. The temp. seems to be spot on. Nice to be able to toast many slices of bread at one time. The one down side I see is baking/broiler pan does not slide out when the door opens. Five stars if it did.
