The only drawbacks to this appliance is that it doesn't have a timer, and the tray for baking isn't very deep. Its my own fault for not checking specifically to see if it had a timer, but the tray issue I had no idea. Frankly, I liked my old one better, as it had the timer and a wider and deeper tray. Unfortunately, after 14 years it broke. That is why I bought another Cuisinart, so time will tell if this holds up as well.
The oven heats evenly and works really well. Large enough to use the rack and the pan at the same time. Could be better by adding a timer to the cooking settings - as is there is a timer only for toasting.
