It does not toast well at all. The toast comes out burnt on one half and still white on the other half. You need to rotate the bread half way through to get even color. Since we use this mostly to make toast, the performance is very disappointing. The top of the oven gets very hot while baking, hot enough to possibly cause a burn. The first time a baked a small casserole, the oven tipped forward when I slid the rack out to remove the dish. The weight of the casserole was too much for the oven to stay secured.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Oven make a Very Loud Popping noise, before the Pre-Heat sound, and whenever elements heat up. I wanted this brand since my other one lasted 10 years. My old one was super quiet. I hope I don't regret this purchase, since I'm a fan of the brand. Thanks

Much too expensive for something that just bakes and toasts. Definitely not "deluxe". Poor design has no interior lighting, even from the heating elements, to show cooking progress. The door must be opened to view the item. Poor design also with the crumb try that scratches the inside of the door every time it is pulled out. Additionally, a lot of crumbs accumulate on the ledge beneath the door and the only way to remove them is with some type of brush. I could have purchased a much better toaster oven at 1/3 the price. Obviously, I am very disappointed with this oven.

I was surprised that the tray and insert were less than the 12 x 12 interior. The old 12 inch cuisinart had a full size tray with broiler insert. That was disappointing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unfortunately the fan for the convection oven is broken. It makes a horrible clanning noise definitely hitting something inside it. I just use it as a toaster oven, that part works. Disappointing I thought it would have better quality.

Having used the toaster oven for a few months now, I can say it does a very good job of cooking and toasting food evenly. However, the display leaves a lot to be desired and often fogs up when cooking something for more than 20 mins - at times the numbers become so obscured you can't tell how much time is left or how what the temperature setting is.
