The only drawbacks to this appliance is that it doesn't have a timer, and the tray for baking isn't very deep.  Its my own fault for not checking specifically to see if it had a timer, but the tray issue I had no idea.
Frankly, I liked my old one better, as it had the timer and a wider and deeper tray.  Unfortunately, after 14 years it broke.   That is why I bought another Cuisinart, so time will tell if this holds up as well.
