DeLonghi EO2060 6-Slice Stainless Toaster Oven Broiler

As my husband works a 10+ hour shift, he wanted to do more healthy cooking than available by nuking food. Having other DeLonghi products, the EO2060 seemed an attractive "counter-top oven" solution. His first attempt to cook foil-wrapped fish fillets found the following problems: untouchable, burning hot top, sides, and HANDLE. Reaching inside with plastic tongs, they began to melt. Temperature gauge had weird numbering, with only a dot after 390, making the placement of the desired 450 degrees setting only a guess. Timer worked only with toast setting, so a separate timer needed to be purchased. Fingerprint marks were immediately apparent and not easily removed. A call to DeLonghi Service resulted in their recommendation to return unit to place of purchase as the excessive heating problem was a probable defect. On the plus side, the fish did cook perfectly and the unit is very attractive.
