Pros: Everything but toasting is Ok.
Cons: Doesnt toast bottom. Elements still glow if door is opened.
The Bottom Line: I can't recommend a toaster/oven that can't toast. Too expensive for a flaw so basic.

| jabba2000's Full Review: Cuisinart TOB-165 1500 Watts Toaster Oven with Con... |
This is a fine oven but a terrible toaster. I read all these reviews about how great this one was, and I do like digital controls. Since I anticipate to use this item 50% for toasting, I am totally dissatisfied that this product DOES NOT TOAST THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE BREAD! The top is fine, the bottom is practically unchanged. If you set it to a higher toast setting, the top gets too brown before the bottom starts to brown. Happens even if you set the rack to a lower level (I would not set it to the bottommost setting since that's practically on top of the lower elements. The bottom elements do glow orange, only slightly, not nearly as much as the top ones glow. I have read other reviews which had the same complaint but given all the other positive reviews, I chaulked them up to just people who didnt know what they were doing. THEY WERE RIGHT. If you want a toaster that toasts both sides, DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.
PS: My other complaint, if you open the door while the oven is working (toast or oven or broil setting), the heating elements do not shut off - very unsafe.
