DeLonghi EO420 Esclusivo 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless Steel

DeLonghi EO420 Esclusivo 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless Steel

This DeLonghi EO420 4-slice toaster oven features a nonstick interior for quick and easy clean-up. Just wipe with a damp cloth. The 0.35-cu.ft. capacity will fit a 12-in. pizza or nice size meal for the family. The oven comes with a drop down crumb tray, nonstick broil rack, nonstick baking pan and 7-minute timer for toasting. In brushed stainless steel, this toaster oven will look great on any countertop!
Customer Review: avoid this product
This is a cheaply made, badly designed and completely unsatisfactory excuse for a toaster oven. Delonghi should be ashamed of producing it.
Customer Review: This toaster oven cannot make toast.
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.
