Customer Reviews Excellent Choice Date: 2009-10-16 | Rating: 5 Our old toaster oven exploded, so we decided to upgrade with this purchase. Our son-in-law is a professional chef and he recommended the DeLonghi. It may seem like a minor feature, but the interior light was also a deciding factor in our purchase of this oven. We've had it about 2 months and it's great. I've actually cooked meals in it which I never did in my old toaster oven. I use my large ovens much less often now. I have not used the toaster feature, so I can't comment on that, but I'd recommend the oven without hesitation. Solid Choice Date: 2009-09-17 | Rating: 4 I have had the DO1289 for a month and overall I am very happy with it. The toaster is gorgeous and does a great job baking. I have cooked fish and steaks and everything has turned out perfectly. The convection fan is not too loud and does its job well. In terms of toasting, the oven is not spectacular, but certainly adequate. Getting a crispy slice of toast takes about 5 minutes. Though it takes a few clicks to do anything on the toaster, the controls and knobs are straightforward and well designed. I spent a long time analyzing and breaking down the pros and cons of the different top quality toasters so hopefully this review can save you some time. Here are the other toasters I looked at seriously : Cuisinart TOB-195: Generally well-reviewed, but I could not get past the fact that the toaster does not have automatic shut-off. This is a key safety feature that I was unwilling to sacrifice. The DO1289 does have auto shut-off and turns off after beeping loudly 3 times. In addtion, the Cuisinart's crumb tray comes out the back, which seems totally stupid and impractical. Krups FBC2: Looked like the perfect toaster, but again a safety feature got in the way. Apparently the Krups model has a poorly constructed door hinge and is prone to exploding. The DO1289's door is very smooth opening and seems well constructed. The Krups' quartz heating would have been nice, but still not worth it. I also suspect that the Delonghi has a little more overhead clearance than the Krups so I can roast a small chicken. Breville Smart Oven: If it wasn't so expensive, i might have gone with this since it has every feature and is the most powerful and spacious, but $250 for a toaster is just absurd. I bought my Delonghi refurbished for $70, so it was no contest. The Delonghi also has an oven light (which most others do not) and a permanently illuminated display-- a great feature at night for seeing the time. One other feature that doesn't get much attention but was very important to me is the Delonghi's enamel interior. This is great because, unlike toasters with nonstick interiors, I can put metal and glass dishes in the oven, as well as aluminum foil (every one of the other aforementioned ovens has a nonstick interior). Plus, I don't trust the chemicals in nonstick and I prefer not to use any nonstick products when I cook. Based on my comparisons with other toaster ovens, I found that the Delonghi 1289 is the best designed and most practical. The Delonghi's performance is very good, though not spectacular, it has great features and, in my opinion, is the best choice for a high-end toaster oven. Sharp looking toaster/convection oven Date: 2010-01-20 | Rating: 4 Bought this a few weeks ago and have been using it everyday. I've used the convection oven for meatloaf -- it was wonderful -- developed a nice crisp exterior and was moist inside. Baked French macarons with the convection setting so that the exterior of the cookie would get extra help drying and the cookies were awesome. Perfect. Toasting does take longer than a smaller toaster oven -- but I've gotten used to it. It's very nice looking and it's a DeLonghi -- looks great in the kitchen. But it's all good -- only minor drawback are the cookie trays -- I would say they could be a heavier weight so that the bottoms of cookies don't burn. Other than that -- it's a nice toaster/convection oven/oven. Very nice styling and enamel inside. Lots of trays. Big interior. 2 racks. Haven't dried fruit yet -- that will be the next experiment.
