I purchased Cuisinart because I have always liked their products.  But this one was a disappointment and I ultimately returned it to the store and bought another brand.  First you can't see into the rear of the appliance.  It also did not cook evenly.  Anything in the back of the oven cooked faster than anything in the front.  So when you are making toast, the pieces in the back toast faster than those in the front.  Needless to say, I was very disappointed and would not recommend it.
