Can't imagine how I did without it. Sun Jan 09 06:21:41 -0800 2005 1454002 0 Karl S. 2 1454122 Yes I wholeheartedly agree, this is my new favorite appliance. Love having a convection oven in my tiny apartment AND it's big enough to bake a pie/crisp. It's great. Hate all Black and Deckers (I've had quite a few, I guess I was slow to learn that they just aren't good) and I liked my Delonghi (but it wasn't convection). But the cuisinart is the best I've had.

So sorrry I gave away my 1970s GE when I got the krups, that one was perfect actually. Sun Jan 09 09:03:01 -0800 2005 1454002 0 coll 1 1454028 My Delonghi convection/toaster oven has been a workhorse over the years. It's had more then six years of solid abuse, and is still going strong. Of course, it's over six years old now, not sure how well the current models are... but with the exception of some discoloration on the top, it works great! Sun Jan 09 12:05:10 -0800 2005 1454002 0 SizzlingJoe 2 1454250 We've had two Delonghi's in 10 years and the second one was only purchased because we moved and my wife wanted one that was color coordinated. A workhorse is exactly what best describes it! But, I am very interested to hear if anyone has compared that to the Cuisinart? Perhaps in a few years, we might buy a different brand....Just for a change. Mon Jan 10 20:03:13 -0800 2005 1454028 0 Chuck 1 1454047 Our old DeLonghi was good, the next one was a piece of junk. I would never get one again. Poor customer support. I absolutely love our Cuisinart! Sun Jan 09 14:39:35 -0800 2005 1454002 0 Sylvia G 1 1454078 We're quite happy with our DeLonghi- had it for a few years now. Sun Jan 09 22:17:11 -0800 2005 1454002 0 twinmommy 1 1454109 OK. I’m ashamed to admit that I purchased my toaster oven at Wal-Mart. It is the only purchase I have made at a Wal-Mart. I feel the store is evil and will never shop there again. I will avoid getting on my soapbox and ranting about the degradation of society and say just this: The GE toaster oven I purchased at Wal-Mart is great. It was amazingly cheap ($50) and very solidly built. The door opens to the side instead of down, which I really like, and it has all kinds of extras with it. When I think about the purchase I’m saddened by the thought of third world laborers and elderly employees earning $5.15 and hour and wearing dippers because they can’t take breaks and… sorry. I said I wasn’t going to get started. Mon Jan 10 10:06:36 -0800 2005 1454002 0 Anonymous 1 1454111 Make sure that you get one with a removable crumb tray. I never was able to get that DeLonghi cleared of crumbs, and once I cut myself trying to clean it. As I said, the original DL was great, but something has changed. It also had trouble with temperature. Our Cuisinart retailed for about $100, but we had a Bed, Bath and Beyond 20% off coupon. It's worth every penny. Even the trays that come with it are easy to clean. Mon Jan 10 10:15:04 -0800 2005 1454002 0 Sylvia G 1 1454113 I bought a Black & Decker toaster-oven-broiler. All it does is toast. NEVER did anything else. I'm embarrassed to say that by the time I finally read the instructions to see what was wrong and realized I had a lemon, the warranty was expired. I have a glorified toaster - what a waste of money. Mon Jan 10 10:21:20 -0800 2005 1454002 0 Sweet Pea
