Glad We Replaced our Old Oven With This One!
Our ten year old convection/toaster oven served us well, but needed to be replaced. I did a lot of research and saw the high ratings for this DeLonghi oven.
My wife and I both love it! The toaster function is great, getting the right darkness without any problems. We've baked things in it and also roasted veggies and are pleasantly surprised with the accuracy and quietness of the convection aspect.
The countdown timer is a nice feature that is easily adjusted mid-stream if you need to. It doesn't reset the oven at all, just the time.
The clock/oven display is one of the best I've seen, with a blue background and bright white numbers. The stainless steel finish fits our kitchen decor quite nicely.
The crumb tray is so easy to remove and clean, I'm doing it after each toasting or cooking cycle. The crumbs slide off the tray without effort.
Another feature that sets this apart from other ovens is the interior light. It's about time we can see how the cooking is doing!

Best toaster oven
My daughter got this as a wedding present and liked it so much that I had to get one! It's a great toaster oven in that it does just about everything a full size oven does, but without heating up the kitchen on a hot day. It has two shelves which is nice because you can bake two 12" inch pizzas at one time or two sheets of cookies. It comes with a lot of extras like a pizza pan, cookie sheets, broiler pan etc. I love that it has a light inside. I haven't seen that on any other toaster ovens. And the convection feature is nice too. It looks great and has a lot of nice features for a good price!

Excellent Quality and Performance
The Delonghi Convection Toaster Oven is not only a good- looking addition to my kitchen counter, it performs as well as it looks. The racks, baking pan, and cookie sheets are of superior quality and durability, which I know will perform for years to come. The Defrosting and Baking feature is one of our favorites and used quite often. Toaster Ovens have come a long way and this one, in my opinion, is state of the art. We love it.

Can't believe I have been married 45 years, am a cook, gadget lover, and foodie, and this is the first toaster oven I have had. There are so many things I prepare for just the two of us that can be cooked in this oven, instead of my two full size convection ovens. And the kitchen stays cool!
Love it, love it.

Precision and sophistication
I purchased this oven twice. I used it relentlessly the first time (as my wall oven's thermostat broke, and we're remodeling in the near future, so I'm not using a big oven).
This thing cooks all of our food perfectly. Let me clarify. Pizza: crisp crusts, browned cheeses; bagels: ever so lightly toasted, but not dried up. Chocolate chip cookies - don't get us started. Best oven ever for those. Casseroles, Mac n Cheese, Burritos, Fries - flawless. Proteins that need broiling or roasting always come out succulent and tender. Salmon, tuna, chicken, steak.
My only wish is that it were taller - that way, we could bake bread from scratch (larger loaves). But we're just griping because our regular oven is on the fritz.
Our new purchase was not to replace our original, but to keep it going with more cooking options until we can remodel. Now that we have two of these, we can warm a loaf of sourdough while broiling the Copper River Salmon!

Genius Kitchen Tool
This is my first toaster oven and I'm in love. Heats quickly, easy to use and works very well. I've baked pizza, and quiche, toasted fresh and frozen bread, broiled meats and fish and all have worked well. It's been easy to clean as well. The only cons I can say about it is that when a fairly heavy load is placed on the top position rack, the rack has slipped out of place twice....kind of messy with quiche. It may be something I'm doing wrong...have not read the book to figure it out and it vibrates noisily when using convection function. Still, I'm buying a second one for a gift.

This product works very well for toasting/cooking.
It toasts several pieces of bread at a time with excellent results. It is also a good substitute for the range oven and saves energy cooking with it.

I owned an older model of the Delonghi toaster oven and was very pleased with it.. The new model looks great! I'm still getting used to it but the toast seems to take a little longer than what I'm used to. The baking setting are good also. I had the old model for 12 years and I believe this will last as long.
I'm plesed with my purchase.
