This Toaster Ovens give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Finally - A Very Good Toaster Oven.
We are a husband - wife household and rely on toaster oven for: daily toast, weekly frozen pizza cooking, reheating of grilled items, crisping up french baguettes, pastries, etc.
This appliance does an awesome job. Controls are intuitive, temperature control is quite accurate (checked with oven thermometer beyond 400 degrees) and convection feature adds to amazing uniformity. It gets to temperature very quickly as well. The criticism others have stated about the front handle-to-glass spacing, leading to burns may be relevant to their use, but is a NON ISSUE if you simply use your fingers to open (which is very easy) versus wrapping your entire hand around the handle. Build quality and the overall user experience is definitely superior.
We've had our Cuisinart for only a couple of months so far, so a bit more to learn about its durability.
To contrast, we replaced a basic Black & Decker toaster oven (roughly $30 dollars retail) which worked OK (esp...
2. Use it for everything
We love this toaster/convection oven and use it for everything from toast (of course) and bagels, to pizza, to chicken and cookies! It is so versatile and i love that it remembers your toast setting. The convection really heats things up fast. The oven comes up to temperature much faster than our regular oven so we use it for everything. The broiler even works well!
Update Nov 2010: We have been using this product on a regular basis since we purchased it during the summer of 2009. We still love it. It toasts well, we cook things like frozen pizza, breads (like croissants in a tube from the grocery store), chicken pot pies (home made), cookies etc. We've also roasted chicken parts (legs, thighs) and used it for frozen french fries and breaded chicken. I really don't have anything to complain about and the convection cooks things even faster than a normal bake function.
Some people might be annoyed that when using the timer you have to keep hitting the minute...

Heats quickly, cuts down on cooking time
We recently replaced our 1993 Black & Decker toaster oven (which was great, by the way) with the Cuisinart convection/toaster oven so that we could toast bread as well as take advantage of the convection oven features. The oven is a little noisier than I'm used to, but that's due to the convection fan. It's really not that bad. Toasting takes a little longer than with the other toaster oven, but seems to toast as evenly as a regular toaster oven.
So far, I've used it to make toast, a cake (from scratch), ladyfinger cookies, a casserole and two roasted 4.5 pound chickens in the oven. I used a square brownie pan for the cake and casserole.
The oven can fit about 8 cookies per sheet, depending on the size of the cookies, so you end up with more batches, but it takes less time to bake them in convection mode. The chickens took around 1 hour 15 minutes each. The Cuisinart herbed chicken recipe worked well, and the chicken did not blacken on top. My hoisin chicken...
