This is my second purchase of this oven. I use it daily rather than my microwave or oven for toasting, reheating & cooking small portions, all of which it does evenly & well - much better than other brands I’ve had. The speed convention works so well for air-frying, that I got rid of my air-fryer!
This is the second one I've purchased since 2015, after the first one finally stopped working. I tried a couple other manufacturer brands, but sent them back after realizing they were not a good fit for me. I live in a hot humid environment and don't want to heat up the kitchen utilizing my range oven when cooking a small meal. Plus I'm saving energy and this Cuisinart is perfect. I can fit two shallow dishes in at one time if using the two racks. The lids won't always fit so I just cover the dishes with foil in that case. This oven is perfect for my needs. The two stage cooking is a nice option as well as the convection setting if you wish to use it.
I love my new toaster oven. It replaces an older Cuisinart toaster oven that lasted for years. This one is quieter and has some nice new features. It’s still small enough to fit on my small kitchen counter and it’s so pretty. It’s easy to use and clean and makes the best toast, baked potatoes, and warmed up leftovers.
I gave this 3 stars because I have only had this one for about a month. It replaced the smaller one that had a rotisserie, for one a bit wider, albeit shorter in height. The reason for a wider one was to be able to use a pizza stone in it. All of the features of the oven are fine, especially the light. The big issue is that the two times I followed the directions to make a pizza the oven started smoking and our alarms went off. So I am still trying to figure this out.
I haven't used all the features yet. I've used the bake and broil. Both worked exactly as I expected. The owner's instruction booklet has been very helpful, especially regarding what rack level to use.
