DeLonghi XD479B 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Black

this does a good job with my frozen waffles. i would not recommend this for elderly or non-computer people as the digal settings are a bit confusing but fine once you get the hang of it.

the main drawback for me is the very loud beeping whenever you start to toast and then when it's done toasting. this thing is ridiculously loud and a problem for late night snackers like me. (louder than most microwave beeps) i don't think there's an easy way to disable the beeping.

i know this is wrong but i just made bacon using the broiler and it came out great.....and not messy either (to my surprise)....however if you just want bacon the panini grills work great for that (i used the cuisinart griddler)

i noticed that i could fit a pie shell in this oven so i tried baking a pumpkin pie. it worked out great. one minor problem was that the temp setting was off by about 75 degrees so you'll probably need to crank it up if baking.

This is toaster oven replaced my old 2 slice Black & Decker that was about 30 years old. I wanted one that could broil, toast, & large enough to fit a small casserole dish yet not take up much more space than my old one. This one does all that-most of the larger size is in the height & depth so the length of the counter space used is not too much more. I'm well satisfied with the performance & the price of the DeLonghi. The only negatives I've found are, like most larger ovens, the toast isn't as good as a toaster or a 2 slice oven; & the beep it makes when the time is up has an annoying tone to it.

I am a heavy roaster/toaster. However, fiddling with the huge oven in the morning just does not cut the bill for me, so I got this one from (.....). I have heard that Delonghi makes good kitchen appliance, so bought this one. I was little concerned since I never use a toaster oven with digital interface. However, after using it couple of times, I like it much better than rotary dial based control that one can usually see in toaster ovens. Toasting performance is very good. I tried backing some onions tonight and the result is pretty decent, if not perfect as I used to do over charcoal. Overal, I am happy with this oven. Will see how long it lasts.
