Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler 0.5 cu. ft - Stainless Steel

Verified Purchase:Yes
The oven is handsome and the basic functions work well, but there are a few things that could be better. (1) There are no visible marks on the dials to show how they are set; one has to feel around for the raised ridges. A little stripe of silver model paint on the indicator ridges made them visible. (2) The baking pan is wide; it only fits in the 2 slots and so it is either very high or very low. It cannot be placed in an intermediate 3rd position on the upside down rack. Luckily the pan from our old toaster oven fits on top of the rack. (3) There is no timer for the bake, broil, and warm functions.

There's a reason why I bought this Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven AGAIN. It is replacing an identical model that gave me years of service. You'll get even toasting and stable baking and broiling every time. It is a little 'workhorse' that saves energy on having to heat a full oven for every small meal.

Compact. Quickly heats. Works great. Light so easy to move if necessary.

Love this new Toaster Oven. It works great! Very efficient and clean looking too! It gave my countertop a face-lift! I use my Toaster Oven daily and it is an important feature in my kitchen. Four stars only because there are no white markings to indicate the choice placement on the setting knobs. This oven has a raised ridge on each knob instead of a clearly marked white highlight on each knob. Hard to find in the darker corners of a kitchen or located under an overhanging cabinet. I added a dot of white-out on each knob to clearly define the choice indicator. Other than that, I love this new toaster oven. It works great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Was disappointed that it didn’t have a timer on it, but my fault. I should have looked closer.

This unit is a nice counter top size. Unfortunately it does not have a option to set a time to cook.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your TOB-40NAS. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the countertop-friendly size, though we understand that not having a timed cooking option may be disappointing depending on your needs. This model is designed with manual control settings for simplicity, and adjusting the function and temperature knobs allows you to monitor cooking progress more directly.

Unsure how well you want your bread toasted? Don't worry, let Cuisinart Toaster Oven make that decision for you! Set the dial at medium and let the Oven do the decision making from there! Burnt? Raw? Burnt in selected areas only? The roll is the dice will keep you guessing and coming back time after time to check on the intuitive process! Whoever thought toasting bread was easy has yes to experience the novelty of a Cuisinart Toaster Oven roulette.

Thank you for sharing your feedback—we appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience with the toaster oven. We’d like to help improve the consistency of your toast, as uneven browning can sometimes be resolved by adjusting rack placement or ensuring the appliance is preheated before use.
