So far not good, but will give it a little longer

Recently purchased the TOB-40N Toaster Oven. The first time I made toast, the rack was in the correct position, the bread was centered, set on toast, medium darkness. When the bell rang it was burnt on both sides. Tried again, this time on light, bell went off and it wasn't toasted at all. Restarted with the dial between light and medium, with 20 seconds I had to stop it to keep it from burning. Will continue to try and see if it improves.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that your experience with the Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler did not meet expectations. Because toasting results can vary during initial use, we recommend ensuring the rack is in the toast position, testing with a single slice, and making small adjustments to the shade setting, as some units may toast more quickly depending on bread type and thickness. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our products and consumer experience, and we thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Bought new Toaster oven to relace a 20 year old Cuisinart Toaster Oven. This newer Cuisinart is a great upgrade.

I'm looking for something BETTER

Almost impossible to read the dials without bending over. Also knob markings are hard to discern. The operation of this using is markedly different than others I have owned. Your really need to read and understand the operations prior to using.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler. We’re sorry to hear the dial and knob markings have been difficult to read and that the controls were not as intuitive as expected; ensuring the unit is placed at a comfortable viewing height and reviewing the operating instructions before use may help make operation easier.

Very nice toaster oven. I especially like that the toast tray comes forward automatically when you open the door. Also that the bake function remains on without a timer.

I've been using my Custom Classic Toaster Oven for about three weeks. I like it very much. It's well built, performs well, is easy to use and at 1800 watts is more powerful than my microwave oven. I like the simple analog control knobs. Not that I'm tech averse but I find them easier to use than a single multifunction touch screen. I've toasted breads and bagels, baked (roasted) meats and veggies and broiled meats. What I like most is not having to use my full size oven to roast or broil a single portion of some food item. Some reviews that I read before my purchase complained about the raised pointer rib on the knobs being hard to see. I solved that with a paint marker from an art supply shop. Other reviews pointed out the lack of a timer. But with timer functions on my watch, phone, microwave oven and full size range I'm not lacking for timing devices. One issue I didn't find in other reviews was the instruction booklet entry for toasting bagels. It's the same as the entry for toasting bread. From what I've read online the correct procedure is to toast bagels cut side up because the upper heating elements get hotter or run longer than the lower elements in the Bagel cycle. All told I'm more than satisfied with my Custom Classic Toaster Oven.

Works as expected. It is OK. Would be great if there is a timer.
