Too Many Negatives
As my husband works a 10+ hour shift, he wanted to do more healthy cooking than available by nuking food. Having other DeLonghi products, the EO2060 seemed an attractive "counter-top oven" solution. His first attempt to cook foil-wrapped fish fillets found the following problems: untouchable, burning hot top, sides, and HANDLE. Reaching inside with plastic tongs, they began to melt. Temperature gauge had weird numbering, with only a dot after 390, making the placement of the desired 450 degrees setting only a guess. Timer worked only with toast setting, so a separate timer needed to be purchased. Fingerprint marks were immediately apparent and not easily removed. A call to DeLonghi Service resulted in their recommendation to return unit to place of purchase as the excessive heating problem was a probable defect. On the plus side, the fish did cook perfectly and the unit is very attractive.
Great Deal on Great Item
So far so good, the item was deeply discounted b/c it was an opened box item. Some minor scratches were on the broil pan, but I was expecting worse. I have used it to toast, perfectly, bagels and bread, and broiled salmon. I have yet to use the bake feature and mostly used my old toaster oven for broil/toasting anyhow. I did notice when toasting the top element is hottest and the bottom, while it still glows, is not as hot. This translates into slight uneven toasting. Aesthetically, the black front/interior and brushed stainless top & sides match nicely with my all black appliance package and SS/Black coffee maker. Back of the unit has a bump-out that looks like it's for a personal pizza, which is nice but not and everyday feature. Overall I am happy with the EO2060 6-slice toaster/broiler oven by DeLonghi.
Great quality product
My favorite toaster oven so far! Works great, looks nice and I highly recommend this toaster oven. Get it before they foolishly stop making them.
