I'm interested in the toasting function. We like evenly toasted bread. The toaster ovens we've tried do not toast evenly, even the Black & Decker.

hi, i am satisfied with the way it functions....toast evenly ....the only thing i do not like is you cannot turn off at will....once you turn the bottom dial you cannot advance in order to terminate operation.....i take my toast out and let it run until it completes ..you cannot advance dial to terminate...ed

Toasting is very good. I find the convection feature is excellent. Food cooks so fast. I wish there was a timer, though. That would be perfect.

We have used this oven 2-3 times daily for making toast or toasting sandwiches to melt the cheese. I am quite satisfied with the toaster part of this oven, your mileage may vary, especially if you are looking for a toaster oven that browns bread like a "uni-tasker" appliance. Although no toaster oven I've ever owned seems to get the browning the same on the top and bottom, this one is acceptable to me. My advice is, if what you really want is evenly toasted toast, buy a toaster. I like this toaster oven because of all the other things I can use it for.

Hi Jim: It does well. Make sure the toaster is clean inside and you should be satisfied with it. Consumer Reports rated it very high.

We use our toaster oven all the time, and we have had no problem with burning -- unless I leave it in too long. Try experimenting with shorter baking times. Also, we use the convection baking all the time.

It's fairly fast. I mean it has different setting for bagels, defrost etc. A bagel would take longer than let's say a simple slice of bread. If you have the room it may be better to get the 4 slice model. That way two different people can use the toaster @ the same time. It has separate controls and is pretty much like putting two 2 slice units into one body. I have the 4 slice model.

Yes, but the top has a very even toasted look while the bottom has toasted lines. Still a good toasting on both sides. That was the problem with our old one, we had to manually flip the bread.

The reason I bought this toaster was to toast Bagels. It works great, the bagel is nicely toasted but still soft in the middle. Before getting this toaster I had to squash the bagel flat to toast it now I get to eat a nice fluffy bagel. Enjoy your new toaster.

Toaster was made in China. Materials are good and solid, etc, but it does not toast evenly. Sides facing center toast faster than those facing outside and top of slice toasts faster than bottom. To get a nice even piece of toast I have to set for very light toast, then turn side to side and top to bottom and toast some more.

I really like this toaster. It toasts bread very well. It also has a bagel setting, where it only toasts the one side. The "keep warm" is a plus, but not its main asset, in my opinion.

the bagel function works great it does toast both sides,the toast function works ok but sometimes does not brown evenly,we would buy it again.defrost works very well also.

I haven't had mine long enough to tell. So far it is the best toaster we have ever owned. consistently perfect toast and bagels. Easy to use. Cuisinart is a known brand so I am not worried about the failure of the motor.

It makes toast much better than a toaster. I really like the way it browns it so evenly and quickly too.

Yes, to all questions and all in the back. The toaster really feels like something special, because it is! If you get one I hope you have as good luck as I have had. It does take some experimenting to determine the best setting for the type of bread you're using. (We toast a variety of breads.)

Well, I'm surprised that this ' toaster oven ' got any reviews at all. Simply put, it doesn't toast. The ' toaster setting is much like a ' bake ' setting - it turns on and off, takes forever to toast anything. I have to put it on ' broil ', take out the toast or muffin or whatever, flip it over, then broil the other side. Since I cannot afford a different brand, I suggest that U look elsewhere - B&D has gone downhill from the quality products they used to make. Sorry, sis - the real deal.

A toaster is much faster and consumes less electricity. Not a good idea to use it as a toaster if you can have a real toaster.

Yes, it toasts evenly. I am happy with the performance. Try lower settings first. A three on this toaster is like a six on my last toaster.

I have the double toaster and I do not find it especially fast. If speed is important you might look elsewhere. It does make a difference in the time depending on the moisture level in the bread.

Even toasting is not an issue, it toasts very evenly even in bagel mode. The issue I had was finding the temp # that gave me the "doneness" I waned which was trial and error.
