I like the Cuisinart toaster oven but it's difficult to read the text of the controls because they are printed on the base of the dials, not on the face of the toaster. It toasts very aggressively compared to my old Black and Decker toaster oven so I have to adjust this oven to a much lighter setting. I bought this oven to replace my old oven because it has a pull-out crumb tray vs. a hinged door tray so clean up is 100% easier. I also like that the tray pulls out slightly when you open the door to facilitate removal of your food. It costs more than I wanted to pay but it does a lot more than I need which is to toast.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
