Cuisinart TOB-40NNAS Toaster Oven and Broiler, Custom Classic

Since I had previously purchased this Cuisinart Toaster Oven for myself, I though my gift recipient would be happy to receive one. And he was. I like the simplicity of the on/off. The size is not overwhelming of counter space. The interior is easy care and the tray for collecting crumbs works well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased several Cuisinart products over the years and I've haven't been disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this Cuisinart toaster oven to replace an old Cuisinart toaster oven.

I've been using the toaster oven for a few weeks and so far it works well, it heats up quickly. I just wish it had a timer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to purchase a Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven because of its compact size, easy to read and adjust function, temperature and toasting shade dials. The feature that sealed the deal was the cooking grill that automatically comes out as you open the door that makes it easy to place food items on it vs. reaching inside the oven like other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent unit. It functions as expected. I like how the floor is removable for cleaning. It replaces a previous toaster-oven that was a little more compact. My only regret is that it doesn't include a timer function.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my toaster oven. It is big enough to hold an 8x8 casserole dish which is what I usually use. The only drawback is that it is hard to read the indicator buttons which are all black with a small edge.

I have had 2 Toaster Ovens over the past 18 years and was extremely satisfied with quality of product & design, simplicity in controls and performance. But this model fails in all categories. I do regret my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our experience with a previous Cuisinart toaster/oven was excellent. After years, replacing it with another Cuisinart was the obvious choice, with price as an important consideration. The difference with the new one is that it has a less solid, lighter feel than the previous one. However, that is the only downside. The new one heats more quickly, and has the added convenience of a hook on the door that partially pulls out the grill when the door is opened. The bottom crumb tray is far more convenient, retractable as a drawer on the outside, instead of needing to reach into the heating chamber to extract it. The ticking, analog timer is gone. Instead of turning the toast shade/timer to start heating, it requires only pressing a button. Like the old one, a red light illuminates to tell you that it's working. No ticking, no friendly bell when toasting is completed. A quick, quiet electronic signal tells you when it's done. Toasting is very fast. We find that the "shade" knob needs only to be set less than halfway between "light" and "medium" to get fully toasted bread. The heating elements of this new one are enclosed in ventilated tubes, rather than uncovered. If this unit lasts as long as the previous one, it is a bargain.

I bought this toaster oven in September 2025. It was very good until recently. Less than a year later the red “on”light starts to flash at times and smoke comes out of the toaster oven.
