Thank you for your feedback — we’re glad you like the look of the unit, though we’re sorry to hear the quality and indicator lights have not met your expectations. The stage lights should illuminate clearly during operation, so we recommend confirming the unit is plugged directly into a working outlet and that all protective packaging has been removed; if the lights are not functioning, it may require service review. Our team would be happy to document and troubleshoot this concern. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 so we can assist you further and ensure your Cuisinart® performs as intended.

We’re sorry to hear your toaster oven isn’t browning evenly and appreciate your feedback. Uneven toasting can sometimes be affected by rack placement, slice thickness, or repeated use without preheating, so we recommend checking that the rack is positioned correctly and allowing the unit to preheat before toasting. If the issue persists, our team can help review settings and determine if a replacement part is needed. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900527386 so we can assist you further.
