Title: Great Toaster Oven
Review: One of the best toaster ovens I have owned. Very easy to use for toasting, baking, convection and broiling. Powerful and gets the job done quickly and efficiently. Spend a little more $$ and get a better product.

Title: Gets the job done
Review: The oven arrived yesterday and I’ve used it 4 times so far, twice for toast, once of pizza, and once for phyllo dough and brie pastries.As others have stated, the build quality is far from rugged. The exterior is made of thin metal and the pan that comes with it warps slightly when it gets hot. The exterior metal makes a small pop as it expands when it heats up and again when it cools down. That may go away over time, though. There’s a small bump-out on the back of the oven. I’m sure it’s there to increase interior space but it gets VERY hot (I have the burn to prove it). Be sure the back of the oven has a few inches clearance from a backsplash or wall. And be sure the plug doesn’t come in contact with it. The top of the oven gets warm but if you have adequate space between the top of the oven and any cabinets that are above it, you should be fine.The oven is more compact than I thought. We have limited counter space so I went with the smaller model although I think the larger model would have fit and would have provided some advantages (more on that later). The controls are relatively straightforward although you’ll likely need to initially consult the instructions for settings that require you to select multiple options. For example, to start the bake cycle you need to select bake, press the temperature button to set the temperature, press the timer button to set the time, press convection if you want to use that option and press start. It’s something I’m sure will come naturally after using the oven a few times. It beeps once when it reaches the preheat temperature and opening the door to put the food in the oven initiates the timer countdown. When the amount of time you’ve specified has elapsed, the oven beeps 5 times and shuts itself off. All in all, a very convenient way to bake. The display lights up for a minute or two when you adjust any settings and when you open the door, and then goes dark again. There’s a clock on the display although it can be a little hard to read when they display is dark.The first time I baked something, I thought I had done something incorrectly as the oven heated to the preheat temperature more quickly than I thought was possible. It turns out this thing heats up and is ready to go in a fraction of the time it takes my full-size oven to come to temperature.The oven has a stainless steel finish. One side has a lot of vents, the other is fee of vents. In my opinion, the vents aren’t very attractive but the way our kitchen is laid out, they’re not really visible so it’s not a big deal. I’m sure many people won’t care so that may not be an issue for you. The interior is described as nonstick. The two heating elements on the bottom will probably pose a challenge when it comes time to clean the oven so time will tell how easy it is to clean.It toasts nicely with both sides of the bread being evenly toasted. I like my toast dark and it took 2 minutes and 20 seconds to finish toasting. That’s about 20 seconds longer than our conventional toaster although that abomination burns one side of the bread and leaves the other unscathed. I’ll be glad to see it go.Overall, I really like this oven. I was able to cook at 10” pizza in it although it was pretty tight. It toasts bread well and heats up very quickly. Due to its size, my regular oven takes forever to preheat and gives off a lot of heat. Which is really annoying when we’re running the central AC to try and keep the house cool. I suspect my regular oven won’t see much use in the future.The larger, similar Cuisinart (TOB-260N1) has more space, comes with additional accessories (e.g., a pizza stone) and has a light. I probably should have gotten that one but was concerned about counter space. I think the two things the larger one has that I’ll miss are the interior light and the rack that pulls out automatically when you open the door. Neither is a deal breaker and this oven was quite a bit less expensive.Initial impressions suggest this oven is a keeper. I’ll update this review if I note anything significant or we encounter reliability issues as we continue to use it over the coming months.

Title: I love this toaster oven!!!
Review: I realized the other day that I never use my toaster or oven anymore. I just use this toaster oven. It is super easy to use, it takes 1/4 of the time to heat up verses my regular oven, and does a fantastic job. I have one at my house, one at my cottage and one I bought for my daughter.I love this toaster oven!!!

Title: Non-intuitive, attractive, works fine
Review: Pros:Looks nice on the counter, is reasonably compact, holds a good amount of stuff for the size, can bake, toast, and broil perfectly well.Cons:The control panel is totally non-intuitive. Even after using it for months, I have trouble setting it correctly. Sometimes I am trying to set the temperature and I accidentally hit the wrong button and it starts over. Also, it is very unclear what the difference between “toast,” “bagel,” etc actually is. There is no way to just set it to be on at a given heat level for a given amount of time without choosing one of these confusing selections like toast or bagel or bake etc. It should not be this complicated!Regardless of the needlessly complex controls – I’m able to heat stuff up in it, brown stuff in it, and so on, which is more than I could do with the broken toaster oven it replaced, so there is that. And it’s entirely possible that if I did go so far as to memorize the owner’s manual I might be more comfortable with it – but, I don’t think a toaster oven should be complicated enough to require that!

Review: I love this toaster/pizza oven. Our family uses it to reheat leftover meals, make small pizzas, and toast bagel melts or bread. It’s very handy with a nice tray to put covered bowls or food on (see pics). This makes it easy to stay clean! I think Cuisinart is a good brand as we also have their 4-slice toaster and it works great. It’s a perfect stove alternative for a cottage, or an energy-efficient stove alternative for the home kitchen.
