Doh! Now I know why everything went digital...
This toaster oven LOOKS cool. Everyone who comes into my kitchen comments on it. And frankly that's why I bought it. I figured all toaster ovens are alike, why not get one that looks different. I'll tell you why. The loud clicking of the analog timer is semi-annoying, but if your toast (or whatever) is ready before the timer runs out, you can't just push a button and turn it off. The timer has to tick through to the end. The timer broke the 3rd week I had the thing (ok I confess, I got impatient and tried to turn the timer off before it was done).
This toaster oven serves to remind me that looks aren't everything.
However it's a roomy little thing and comfortably fits 4 slices of bread. It has a nice baking tray too.
Something splattered on the inside of the glass on the door and I cannot clean it off. I don't bake in it and don't use it much so it's just a few spots but they are buggin me because I can't get them off.
What I've learned? Go digital. :)
DeLONGHI'S TIMING SURE IS OFF!
A sun dial would be more use to us than the timer on this toaster oven. Jiggling helps but then it heats to the highest burning any bread we had hoped to toast.
Calls to the manufacturer have been futile.
The only thing retro about this item is the way it doesn't work.
Great Toaster!
looks like me and that other lady got the only two DeLonghi toaster ovens that work! well, actually it's my roommate's toaster oven. but i've gotten tons of mileage out of the thing. what's this about warped heating coils? the coils look fine from here. it's a snazzy looking shiny steel toaster oven, darnit, and it cooks what i need it to cook: toast is fine, bagels are great, sandwiches are awesome, small pizzas are lovely. even frozen chicken nuggets and the like are done fine, you just need a little trial and error. what's a number on a dial anyway? i just cook the darn things until they're golden brown and/or sizzling. i burnt myself on the grill once, but that's not the toaster's fault. no complaints! great toaster.
