I have only purchased Delonghi toaster ovens my entire life, I have never needed another brand. I felt they were the kings of toaster ovens. I replaced an older model not for any other reason than it was starting to look "old" in our modern kitchen. Very satisfied with it, highly recommend.
I chose it for the stream-lined design, the stainless steel and its size. It's also true that this toaster can get very, very hot. This toaster has no light. Or maybe this shouldn't be surprising at all. I also thought that the size would be perfect for our family's needs.You know how some things are pretty enough and yet when you look inside it's dark and ugly. I can confirm what some of the other reviewers are saying. I bought this model in 2007. It's surprising that others have had this experience and there's no recall.
I've put off purchasing a new one because we've been updating our kitchen and this has been the last on our long list. We had an incident where the interior also went up in flames. I usually donate items when I'm going for an upgrade but there's no way I'll be doing it with this one.Not recommended. It won't turn properly. I have a lot of counter space, but I didn't want a bulky, massive looking appliance. When the fire occurred the toaster was clean, no bits of old food or leftover oil from past usage.
The second switch is defective. Pliers have become my friend. Nowadays I just pull the plug when I don't hear a ding. There are enough choices out there if you're in the market for a new toaster oven.
there is no insulation, if you have kids then you should post the trauma/burn hospital telephone number next to the toaster, of course not to close or it will catch on fire.My old piece of junk toaster with a screw missing is still better than this.I am taking it back after one day.
I've had my Delonghi Toaster Oven for about 3 1/2 years. This happened in the middle of the night the other night and barring the fuse actually blowing could have burned down the house with me and my family in it. In that 3 1/2 years, the knobs have broken off, the timer has stuck itself so that everything in the toaster oven burns. Most recently the timer would ding but instead of turning itself off, it would continue timing after the ding, turn itself off, and then time past the off position to where it turned itself to the on position. This item should be barred from being sold. I'll never do business with Delonghi again.
Took it back the next day. Never had a toaster oven get this hot on the outside.3. Purchased this oven. The door is flimsy. You have to pull them out or get a flashlight.No good.Overall, not a good value in my opinion. 1. The outer walls became screaming hot on all sides when in use.
No light in the oven. Tried it the same evening. It took double the time for the oven to heat as our previous Delonghi.4. The knobs seem flimsy. Doesn't feel like the unit is solid.2. Can't see if items are cooked or toast is toasted. I liked the look of it, just the cooking part didn't cut it.
