Cuisinart TOB-30BC Classic Toaster Oven/Broiler, Brushed Chrome

Cuisinart TOB-30BC Classic Toaster Oven/Broiler, Brushed Chrome Sleekly contemporary with a brushed-chrome exterior and tinted window, this toaster oven has a .5-cubic-foot capacity, large enough to roast a 5-pound chicken or toast six slices of thick bread. It can be used for baking pies, cookies, and casseroles; for broiling fish, steaks, and burgers; and for toasting bagels and English muffins as well as browning gratins and cobblers. Its nonstick interior wipes clean with a cloth and its rack (which fits in two positions) and broiler/baking pan are dishwasher-safe. Though the 1500-watt oven has a large capacity, it measures a compact 18 inches wide (including handles), 9-1/4 inches high, and 13-1/2 inches deep (including dial controls and a handy cord-wrap in the rear). The oven offers baking temperatures from 200 to 500 degrees F. There are three toast settings, with an automatic shutoff and an audible tone when toasting is completed. The toaster oven carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
Customer Review: Electrical Problems
Great features, and an overall okay toaster oven. It reheated slices of pizza, toasted bread and bagels, and made its share of baked potatoes over the years -- I've had mine going on 3 years now. After just six months, however I experienced occasional arching of electrical current when switching it between functions. Since then, it mysteriously beeps for no reason when in the "off position", but this has been a good reminder just to unplug it. More recently, I have begun to worry it is some sort of fire hazard. Today, it simply stopped working all together, after almost 3 years of relatively gentle use; I probably used it 1 to 2 times per week on average.
Customer Review: Worked okay for awhile
I bought this item three years ago or so. I never had a problem with it beeping in the middle of the night or smoking like some reviewers have had. It worked pretty well over the period of time that I've had it. Unfortunately the top two heating elements have stopped working which basically makes it useless. I wish I could have gotten a bit more life out of my $90 purchase.
