What Others Say
Worst oven ever made!
This is by far the worst oven I have ever owned. For starters, the look in person is not as sleek as pictured. The metal was dull in spots and discolored if you looked closely. ( should've returned it then)
It is quite bulky on your counter, and I have a ton of counter space.
The buttons/dials are made of plastic-not metal and are very flimsy.
As far as cooking...well, if you like to wait 7-10 minutes to toast your english muffin, then go for it. The trays are so far away from the heating elements that it takes FOREVER for anything to toast/brown.
Plus, the entire time it is trying to toast, this annoying click..click.. click is reminding you what an idiot you were for purchasing this oven. It will drive you nuts the ... Read More
De'shorti
The reason for my title is for DeLonghi EO1260 Esclusivo Stainless-Steel Toaster Oven with Broiler's very short life. I bought DeLonghi EO1260 Esclusivo Stainless-Steel Toaster Oven with Broiler from a local Macy's and it stopped working after one year. It just wouldn't turn on. Of course I couldn't return it because it was past the one year warranty stage. For the price I paid for it, I would expect it to last a lot longer than it did. Before DeLonghi EO1260 Esclusivo Stainless-Steel Toaster Oven with Broiler, I had a simple (and cheaper) Black & Decker toaster oven that lasted for over 4 years.
Also while it did work, the door sometimes wouldn't open all the way, causing a few burns on my wrist and hand.
POS!
Very, very bad. Can't toast at all. Flimsy controls. Very cheap feeling. Laughably expensive for what you get.
Terrible Piece of Junk
I bought this toaster oven because it seemed to be built well and had all the basic features I needed. Wrong! Within the first year, two of the three knobs on the front broke. They are made of a cheap plastic material. The knob to turn on the oven instead of the timer never worked correctly. I can't reach anyone at the company to help. They are useless and so is my $100 toaster over. Stay away from this POS.
Not what it seems
Okay, after you read this, there are no other reviews needed. I hope someone from DeLonghi reads this, as this review will satisfy everyone (i hope). We purchased this oven after hearing nothing but good things about DeLonghi. We are pleased with the look of the oven. Its curbside appeal makes this oven look like a high end style oven. However, its performance does not hold up to the standards you would expect; 1) The timer is only good for 10 minutes. How many frozen pizzas take only 10 minutes to cook? Zero. This will require you to reset the timer twice. Although this maybe acceptable in most cases, it creates problems in the end. 2) If you decide to cook a frozen pizza, the back of the interor is "concaved" so that it will hold ... Read More
