We've had it about a month and so far its great. It is much larger than our last one - it toasts 6 slices at once (our old one did 2). The top dial is for temperature if you are baking. The middle dial is a timer for toast - you twist it to light, med or dark and it ticks away and dings when it is done. It toasts very well althought it does seem a bit slower than our old one. However, with the 'ding' feature, you can walk away and come back after the toast is done. You turn this dial the other direction to turn the oven on for baking. The bottom dial is to set for bake/broil, or bake/toast. It has 'cool touch' sides which we like and so far, it seems to be pretty easy to clean. I pull the removable crumb tray out every couple days, wash it and slide it back in, and wipe down the glass door. It has 2 slots for the rack inside - one is about in the middle of the oven (which we use) and the other one is at the bottom of the oven - just above the bottom burner -we haven't tried cooking anything there. You are supposed to be able to put a 12" pizza in and it has a rounded out area in the back to accomodate this, but we have not tried that feature yet. The oven came with a rectangular metal broiler pan only. We picked this toaster oven for several reasons - first we wanted something low profile - many of the other ovens we looked at were quite 'tall'. We also wanted one with a button or timer for toast that was convenient to use - many of the others were not. Our primary use for this unit is toast with secondary being baking (which we also do frequently). In our shopping, it appeared that many of the large toaster ovens on the market today are geared toward baking more than conveient toasting. This was one of the few I found with a toast timer that was convenient to use. So far we love this toaster oven - highly recommended. Great oven - not so stainless! Date: 2005-12-12 | Rating: 5 As far as cooking goes, this oven is top notch. Toast is crisp, and food is perfectly cooked. Regarding the reading of the knobs, sure it's a little hard to read, but once you've used the settings a few times, you know where you want to place the dials anyway. My only criticism that the stainless steel isn't so stainless. As soon as you touch it with your hand, you leave a fingerprint which must be rubbed off with a cloth or else you'll see black marks all over the top of the oven. Since this has nothing to do with the overall performance of the unit, I'm giving it five stars. Just as described, and more,,, Date: 2005-07-28 | Rating: 5 I have two small children, perhaps enough said but.... This oven is great! It does, in fact, accomodate a 12" pizza, namely, the "Trader Joe's 3 Cheese" that my 3yr old loves, but any 12-14" round thing would fit. Summer in Boston means any means of baking without heating the whole kitchen is great . Also good for toast, quesadillas, and even chicken. Believe it or not, I actually cook, and this item works wonders when you can't deal with the whole kitchen being heated. And it makes great easy toasted bread, and waffles etc. too. If you can get it cheap, get it. Spacious and well-designed Date: 2005-07-28 | Rating: 5 This was the natural upgrade for our aging smaller DeLonghi toaster oven. We got extremely good service from the older on. For a little more external space consumption you get much more internal space (6 bread slices instead of two or a 12" pizza). The design improvements are a shelf that comes out with the glass door and a much more accessible crumb tray. Couldn't be more pleased! I love this toaster oven Date: 2006-02-20 | Rating: 5 I bought this item in August of 2005, and I have been very pleased with it. It's perfect if you're cooking for one or two people. This was a good buy.
