great product
It is a great toaster oven. Works extremely well. Seems to be high quality. It definetly is better than heating up the house with the regular oven. I would highly recommend this toaster oven.
Great for the first year, now need to replace
This toaster oven was great for the first year or so. Then we started having occasional problems with the door not staying shut. Now, after 3 years, the door never stays shut and the toaster oven tends to burn most things. We are ready to replace it! I thought that a brand like Cuisinart would make a long-lasting appliance, guess I was wrong!
BROKEN DOOR
I liked this toaster oven a lot, until the door broke (fell apart). Here are the issues: a) the right side came out from the main unit, and b) the left side - the glass detached from the metal slot it is in (not sure if i described that correctly) BUT BOTTOM LINE IS THE DOOR is BROKEN. I put the door back on, on both sides and the door wont close all the way.
Caveat emptor!
This toaster oven has two negatives--one is tolerable, the other is not.
The crumb tray must be removed from the rear of the oven. That is awkward and many competitive manufacturers offer a front-loading crumb tray.
After a few months of use the oven door would not close tightly allowing heat to escape. I will not tolerate such a malfunction in a toaster oven
that I own.
I discarded the oven and purchased a new oven from a different manufacturer.
The new oven is a convection oven (the TOB-50 is not)and cost less than the
faulty-functioning Cuisinart.
The internet is replete with numerous door complaints on this model. It was interesting to note that one unhappy buyer actually ... Read More
Broken door, broken handle, broken case... disappointing...
I was terribly disappointed with this toaster oven. Within a couple of months the door stopped shutting. The handle cracked shortly after. And one day we were surprised to find the plastic case on the outside cracked. Don't buy Cuisinart TOB-50 Classic Toaster Oven Broiler, brushed stainless and black -- it is a waste of time, money and effort. While we use our toaster oven daily, we are not particularly hard on it. It should have lasted 10 years like our previous one.
