About Cuisinart TOB-40N Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
71% found maintance easy, yet 29% struggled
Cleanup is easy with the non-stick surface.
I love how easy it is to clean the crumb tray and access it from outside the oven.
The tray of my toaster-oven is very difficult to clean. I have tried baking soda and oven cleaner, and even soaked it overnight, but it remains dirty.
I cleaned the tray with oven cleaner and it stripped the top layer, so now I have to line it with aluminum foil to use it.
73% were satisfied with the toasting performance, but 27% believed it could be better
The toaster oven does a great job of toasting.
The toaster-oven toasts well and is adjustable to my liking.
On low settings, my toast burns quickly.
The toaster oven's performance leaves a burned taste in my mouth.
70% highlighed the timer and controls ; however, 30% weren't satisfied
I will be returning the toaster oven as it does not have a timer and the non-toasting functions like baking and broiling remain on indefinitely, which is a safety hazard.
If you turn the knob even slightly past the 10 o'clock position, the toast setting is not accurate and you will end up with burned toast.
74% appreciated the heating elements, although 26% found flaws
After almost daily use for many years, the bottom heating element of my toaster-oven burned out.
The bake pan burns because it is too close to the heating element.
During the initial heating phase, the heating elements took over 60+ seconds to start and made a loud metal popping/warping sound.
Things burned because the rack and pan were situated too close to the heat elements.
69% liked the temperature control, yet 31% faced difficulties
The temperature control of the toaster-oven is not working properly. The 'Light' setting is at the 9 o'clock position, the 'Medium' at 12 o'clock, and the 'Dark' is at the 3 o'clock position. However, if I turn the knob the least bit past the 10 o'clock position I will have burned toast.
At 400 or above, the equipment started smoking and set off smoke detectors multiple times.
From day one, the thermostat has been broken and only the high temperature setting works.
The toaster oven gets too hot on the outside, enough to burn me if I touch the oven cabinet while it's on.
