Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart TOB-50 Classic Toaster Oven/Broiler, Brushed Stainless/Black
Customer Review: Was great, now not so much.
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this thing when I first got it. It performed beautifully and did everything I wanted it to. Now, however, the inside non stick coating is peeling off and the door doesn't fully shut which is a problem I've had with every other toaster oven I've had, but they have been much cheaper so I don't expect that to happen in this more expensive model. The drip tray is inconvenient as it's behind the unit so you have to move the entire unit to get it out. Otherwise, it works well and if rolls or that type of item starts to burn before being cooked you can cover them lightly with foil and they'll turn out fine. It's great for baked potatoes and the like so I'm pretty happy with it and so far, it's still working but I've had a lot of breakdowns with Cuisinart products after about a year or so.Customer Review: It's fantastic in every way!!

This is the third Cuisinart TOB-50 oven I have had. On two of them the handles broke on both of them. Of course I couldn't use them if I couldn't open the oven door. I did use one for about 6 months but fussed and cussed it because I couldn't close the door. I finally closed it so hard the plastic handle broke. But with the new one I have just purchased, the design must have been changed because there is a different kind of handle on it. I am 83 years old and hope this one will last me. I love the compactness of the oven as well as the toaster function. I can put my piece of toast in the oven and by the time it 's done, my coffee is ready. Such coordination!! I absolutely love having this oven in my kitchen. I'll never try another brand.

Customer Review: Table-Top Oven Replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our second toaster oven and after having used this one for a few months I have to laugh at our last one. This one just puts it to shame. This one is quite excellent! I am not a huge cook or anything, but this has basically replaced my oven usage. It pre-heats in no time and cooks fast. I have had zero problems with it. The heat goes up to above 450 degrees, but even when cooking at that temperature, the outer surface (metal casing and sides) remain cool to the touch (I don't have to worry about the cat walking around in the kitchen when I am cooking :)).
I love the classic design and sturdy construction. I can't think of anything that I would want to improve about it. If this one ever broke, I would probably replace it with the same model.
Customer Review: Shoddy Construction
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this toaster oven based on the cuisinart reputation and have I been disappointed! After about 3 months, the door started to have problems--not closing unless I jiggled it around for about 30 seconds. Eventually, the handle on the door came off! We called the Cuisinart customer service because it is supposed to have a 3 year warranty. Cuisinart did replace the oven, but charged us a 20.00 service charge to do so. We seriously just considered going with a new Black & Decker. The thing is, the oven does toast really nicely and is stylish.... When the replacement comes, I'll submit a new post if it is equally shoddy....
One month on...we received the new model and it seems MUCH more sturdy. It still toasts really nicely so I'm appeased.
Customer Review: Pretty good so far...

We bought this after another Cuisinart Toaster we had for almost 6 years, started automatically shutting off and having electrical problems.
We were so happy with our previous toaster (cuisinart's other popular toaster oven), but we weren't thrilled with the changes they made to that model (the ticking timer, and the sprayed on black finish).
We decided to go for it and buy this one.
Its really sharp looking and seems to toast fine- that is all we've used it for so far.
I really would prefer the crumb tray to come out the front (like our old one did). It really makes it a whole lot easier to clean. I would also think the handle could use some redesigning---looks cheap when the rest of the toaster is very nice looking.
