DeLonghi EO420 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless Steel

I returned 2 of them due to defective design. The first one that arrived had a defective knob which I would have had Delonghi replace but following the enclosed instructions for making toast, the lower element did not come on until well into the cycle so the top burned while the bottom was not toasted at all. I tried wheat bread, raisin bread and frozen waffles on several darkness settings and both rack positions. Although the unit seemed flimsy for $75 for a basic toaster oven, it was one of the few 4 slice (smaller) units and it looked OK on the counter so I had Amazon replace it.

The DeLonghi Toaster Over is a piece of junk. I have a cheapie toaster oven right now. It is getting old and beat up so I decided to buy another one. I am limited as to overhead space. This is one reason why I decided on the DeLonghi. It is only around eight inches high and had a good rating. But, it is not user friendly. On my old toaster oven, when the door is opened the shelf is pulled out for easy access to the shelf itself, to pull it farther out if desired, and to the items cooking in the oven. The DeLonghi does not have this feature so I have burned my hands on several occasions trying to get the toast out of the oven. Plus, there is no way to turn the oven off if I make a wrong choice as to how long the bread is suppose to toast. In this situation I have to reach into the oven, with the burner going at full blast, to retrieve my bread so it will not over cook. And finally, if I desire to cook something for an extended period, I cannot easily do so. There is no way...Read more
