The unit heats very quickly and cooks very nicely whether using convection or traditional bake mode. The only disappointing thing is the quality of the insert tray. It discolored very quickly and occasionally twists/warps while cooking frozen items. This never happened with my previously owned toaster ovens.
This is our second one of theses ovens. We use it everyday. We dont use our big oven unless we have to roast more than one veggie at a time. Not crazy about the oven preheat function but certainly not a deal breaker. Hope this one lasts as long as my last one which is still working, by the way. Gave that one to a friend and she is very happy too?
I love that I don't have to use my range to make 2 0r 3 pieces of chicken breasts to broil or bake them. Toaster for 6 slices is the main reason I wanted it and besides that my daughter has Cuisinart products. Thank You for such a wonderful and easy to use product.
