Solidly Designed Toaster Oven
By Mrs. F.
For the most part…just the looks alone are nice and clean. It doesn’t look like a spaceship on the counter.
Nice simple straight lines and simple on / off / bake / broil / etc controllers.
There were later design ovens from this manufacturer, but for the price, and all the Basic Features, I figured how may I go wrong?
With 1800 watts for the total heating elements…right there that tells you that it is going to heat up fast…maintain quickly to attain the setpoint, and carry out like a regular electric range / oven / broiler; but just in a littler package.
Toast making is finish on both sides. Fast! And with no drying out of the toast bread.
I was looking for the capacity to toast bread, without the bread sitting there in the oven just drying out on the inside of the bread; while the outside was browning. That is the problem with toasters that are Lower Wattage. It is a proven fact in the testing sequence of a toaster designed to do just that….make toast.
The setpoint maintains just that, with not much droop in temperature. It is quick to respond to maintain the setpoint (temperature selected) to do a fast cooking chore.
The crumb catch tray just slides out without apparent effort for cleaning which is a plus. My old toaster oven had to be turned on it is side to flip open the crumb tray. Wow! Those crumbs actually sat in there till they cooked themselves to the tray.
With the slide out easy clean tray…I clean the crumbs each two or three times I use the oven / toaster! Smart Design!
The only downside …and it does not affect the useability of the oven; but it is annoying attempting to see the settings plainly stamped in black lettering and numbering; but very very small. Just one step UP in the font SIZE would be a big improvement. I lost my 20 year old perfective imagination a great deal of 40 or so years ago, and even with corrective lenses…I have to keep a little magnifying readers glass there just to see the settings of the controls. My 18 Y/O granddaughter who has perfective 20 /20 resourcefulness even has difficultness seeing the setpoints.
All In All….I commend it highly. The functions and power of this little machine are utterly great. It is definetely not in the toy section like a lot of other productions of the like are in.
I had to give this 4 stars**** only because of the disability to without doubt or question see the setpoints on the controls that are printed so small. That’s My Opinion Anyway!
Oooops! one more primary item, is the fact that there are multiple slots to position the shelves / rack etc for the dissimilar apps of cooking / heating / toasting etc.”NICE”

Does incisively what I need a toaster oven to do
By Jason Pollack
I need to replace an old Toastmaster toaster oven. The toaster was super-simple: Set the desired toast darkness, and press a lever to commence toasting. After closely 20 years, it died. I thought it would be easy to find a substitute for it, but to my surprise, they don’t make toaster ovens that simple these days.
My main requisite for calling for a toaster oven as opposed to a vertical loading toaster was that I like to make toasted open-face sandwiches. Unfortunately, most of the toaster ovens that I saw while researching had assorted problems:
1) They required you to turn a dial to set the darkness each time.
2) The amount of space amongst light and dark was minimal, so getting it the way you want each time would be no easy task.
3) An annoying ticking sound.
Finally I came throughout this Cuisinart TOB-40, and this was the toaster for me. It was incisively what I necessitated in a toaster oven. It solves those 3 problems: You may set it and forget it. Adjustments to toast darkness are easy because there is a dial committed to setting it. There is an on/off button and *no ticking*. It likewise has the bonus of the rack that extends mechanically when the door is opened.
If you’re like me and need something that’s more of a toaster than an oven, but is suitable for making open-faced sandwiches and for toasting more prominent items such as muffins, I’d highly commend this one.

Wonderful, simple toaster that works!
By D. Kerr
I LOVE this toaster oven! After reading when it comes to calling for to spend $180 to get a decent toaster oven, and a couple of hugely dissapointing recent toaster ovens which went from raw to burnt way too quick, I was hugely relieved to find this one.
The toast setting is it is own third dial, and there’s a great deal of room to adjust the degree of brown. You set dial 1 on toast, dial 3 on the level of brown, then press the “toast” button. Worked outstanding (I can’t tell if the mechanism is digital or a lot of kind of manual timer, but it doesn’t have a tick-tick-tick sound, and the done signal is a crisp beep-beep, like a coffeemaker.
The oven settings seem to work well too, but that worked on my other crappy toaster ovens. It’s the toast that in truth makes me happy.
There are directions on three dissimilar settings for the rack (for dissimilar size/type baking), but so far little pizzas and toast are great.
An excellent, straightforward toaster. Yay!
