The style of this oven is sleek and sturdy, as you would expect from a Cuisinart product.  I was trying to replace my previous model (TOB 50) but it was discontinued so I chose this one.  I noticed right away that the interior compartment was smaller in size but I will get used to that.  The dials are hard to read because they are ridged all the way around and only one ridge is slightly raised to let you know where it is pointing.  They surely could improve on this.  I think I'm going to put some nailpolish on the "pointer" to compensate for this.  I am still trying to get used to the toaster shade dial, start everything on the lightest shade and go from there.  The spring on the door is powerful and solid.  I haven't baked anything from a raw state yet but it is too small for my purposes so I will primarily be using this as a Toaster oven, every day!
