Cuisinart Convection Oven Toaster / Broiler CTO-350PC  Product Reviews

"1. I love this toaster oven. 2. I checked with Cuisinart and it is the exact same oven as the TOB-175 that goes for $[...] and has 5 star ratings and is top rated by Consumer Reports. The CTO-350PC is the price club model number. I got mine for $[...] at Costco."

"I have tried this oven for baking & toasting and it works great. As far as the other review saying it only toasts one side, I disagree. You must use the wire rack to make sure the bottom burner's heat gets to your bread. And make sure there is nothing in between bottom burner and your bread. Everything works great as advertised except two things I didn't like : Unlike all the toasting features, the timer does not operate the same way when baking : - When toasting, there is an aotomatic timer that is set with duration depending on the selections made (like 4-6 slices / bagel / defrost/ reheat..) and the oven turns off when timer reaches zero. - When baking/broiling/conv. baking : The timer is set by the user to a specified time. However, unlike toasting, the oven does NOT shut off when timer reaches zero. All it does is buzz the end of timer signal without shutting off. That means you need to get up from your chair and walk to the unit to shut it off by pressing Start/Stop button. This is too much work for the average American, having to get up from his/her chair and take a walk to shut it off. If you do not shut it off yourself, it shuts off automatically after 4 hours. Another thing I didn't like is the manual says to unplug it when not in use. So for those who like to see a clock display: Well if you follow that precaution, you will lose your clock setting each time you unplug it. So why to they bother having a clock when they recommend unplugging it when not being used ? You would need to reset your clock every time you plug it back in. Other than these two issues (timer and precaution to unplug it) I like everything else and it works as advertised with good results, toasting as well, when used properly.[...]"

"I love all of my Cuisinart small appliances except for this one. When I put a small loaf of bread in to warm or bake, the top gets burnt. When I put in toast, it only toasts one side. Save your money. I'm shopping for another brand."

"Bought and returned 2 of these. It only toasts bread on 1 side, the other side is not done. Might be ok for the oven part, but I never tried that. This is not a replacement for your toaster. For over $100 I would expect it to toast bread too. My $10 Proctor Silex toaster works better for toast."
