Cuisinart TOB-50 Classic Toaster Oven/Broiler, Brushed Stainless/Black

Update: So far, this toaster oven can keep its five stars. I'm extremely happy with:

- The Golden Brown & Delicious toasting of bagels, frozen waffles and bread
- The feel of the controls, even though I use medium color toast 80% of the time.
- While I have preferred functionality over form, I like the way it looks too.

Original review:
We use toaster ovens so much -no, never for real baking- but for open face sandwiches, anything where browning cheese is on top, freezer waffles and the like. Almost everything we use drips. Eventually all toaster ovens end up with grease and other solidified crud that bonds to the insides. So, we'd look for deals on the $30 Black & Decker classic toaster oven, buy two, and replace after 7-14 months rather than deep-clean them.

Customer Video Review Length:: 0:27 Mins

To whomever is watching this video - we had this for a total of 3 mths and around month 2 it started giving us door trouble - month 3 the door has major trouble and you must hold it shut for 10-15 seconds before it catches. Nonetheless the toaster is on its way back and another one is being purchased.

This is the first time I have had anything but positive words for Amazon's shipping. Amazon will ship this product to you in a box barely bigger than the Cuisinart box, with insufficient padding to protect it in transit. I had one and then a second arrive with the plastic housing cracked at the upper front edges. Amazon would not ship a third oven. Apparently they start to consider you an "unsatifiable customer" after two tries and will only offer a refund. I had to strike a deal to accept the cracked toaster at a reduced price. The toaster itself, is highly recommended. It works well and is shiny and beautiful sitting on my counter, though CRACKED! I recommend the product- but go pick it up at a store.
