I returned 2 of them due to defective design. The first one that arrived had a defective knob which I would have had Delonghi replace but following the enclosed instructions for making toast, the lower element did not come on until well into the cycle so the top burned while the bottom was not toasted at all. I tried wheat bread, raisin bread and frozen waffles on several darkness settings and both rack positions. Although the unit seemed flimsy for $75 for a basic toaster oven, it was one of the few 4 slice (smaller) units and it looked OK on the counter so I had Amazon replace it. The toast function on second one was identical to the first so I returned it too. Delonghi is not a cheap brand; it should do better. Amazon should not carry this model.

This is a cheaply made, badly designed and completely unsatisfactory excuse for a toaster oven. Delonghi should be ashamed of producing it.

The DeLonghi Toaster Over is a piece of junk. I have a cheapie toaster oven right now. It is getting old and beat up so I decided to buy another one. I am limited as to overhead space. This is one reason why I decided on the DeLonghi. It is only around eight inches high and had a good rating. But, it is not user friendly. On my old toaster oven, when the door is opened the shelf is pulled out for easy access to the shelf itself, to pull it farther out if desired, and to the items cooking in the oven. The DeLonghi does not have this feature so I have burned my hands on several occasions trying to get the toast out of the oven. Plus, there is no way to turn the oven off if I make a wrong choice as to how long the bread is suppose to toast. In this situation I have to reach into the oven, with the burner going at full blast, to retrieve my bread so it will not over cook. And finally, if I desire to cook something for an extended period, I cannot easily do so. There is no way to turn the oven on an leave it on. So, if I want to cook something that takes longer than toast to cook, every few minutes I have to reset the timer. As I said, the DeLonghi is a piece of junk. I wish I had never bought it. Retuning it is such a hassle I have decided to put it in storage and to continue using my older toaster oven. To summarize, it is a piece of crap and I wish the law would allow me to beat the designer over the head with it. Signed, Norman Felts

I really, really wanted this toaster oven. It was the perfect size and design and Amazon had it at a great price. I wanted modern looking Stainless Steel but not digital operation. Thought this was my answer. Well the first one they sent me shorted out my kitchen GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) plug. Every time I turned it on, it turned the electricity off. Moved it around to different plugs and the same thing happened.

So I sent it back and asked for a replacement. Amazon was happy to accommodate me. But the second one I received would not toast two cycles in a row. The first pair of bread slices would toast, but when I tried to follow up with a second pair of slices, it would never get hot enough to toast the bread. The bars would not even get read. So I ended up with hot, very hard bread that never browned or toasted.

So I sent the second one back and asked for a 3rd replacement. Again, Amazon was willing to give it another chance. But then the third toaster did the same thing the first toaster did. It shorted out every plug I tried in my kitchen making me re-set the GFI plugs. I thought perhaps they had sent me back the same toaster I had returned the first time. But I don't think so because of the way I know that I had packed up the warranty information papers. This seemed to be packed in the original manner that was done by the factory and not the way I had stuffed the papers into the toaster oven. So I sent it back again.

SAVE YOUR MONEY and FIND a DIFFERENT TOASTER OVEN! And if you find a good one, please review it on Amazon as I still have not found a decent toaster oven for my new kitchen.

There is simply no way to create toast with this device, after the maximum six minutes has passed the bread is just warm, not toasted in the least.

Perfectly happy with the size and the look. I bought it primarily for toast and reheating pizza. I works fine. However I'm not happy with the controls. There a bit sloppy, requiring an extra effort to set the toast function, which has to be set each time the unit is turned on.

Unlike every other toaster oven I have used over the past 25 years, in this one the toast rack is not connected to the door, so you have to reach inside a narrow hot oven to extract your toast. OW!

The toasting is also slow.
