TOA-26 Compact Airfryer Toaster Oven

I received the item in terrible condition. Used item. Many scratch les and dents. Door doesn’t get closed!

This is probably the best air fryer I've used, and I have 4 of them. It heats up my food the best out of all of them. Maybe it's the more compact size causing it to be more efficient inside? I don't know, but whatever it is, it crisps up my food in the totally right way. The size is great too, very nice and compact, and looks attractive. Here's why the low scores (NOTE: Originally this was a 1 star review): 1. The basket. The metal weave is brutal on your fingers, I've cut myself more than once on the very wiry basket. 2. The door. IT'S BROKEN. When the door closes, it pushes in a little pin, which causes the oven to turn on. Well, randomly, as its cooking, the door opens just a touch, causing the pin to pop out a bit, turning the oven off. I have to shove a trivet at the door to keep it closed (see photo). This is NOT GOOD. And no, nothing "happened" to it, I didn't bump it, drop it, slam it, or anything else to make this happen. Very frustrating. I've only been using this oven for 2 months, and the door has now not worked for 2 weeks. So, of course, I've already thrown out the box, I'm out of the return window.... really not happy with it ESPECIALLY because it cooks really well. UPDATE: Upon reading some other reviews, I called the Cuisinart helpline and, yeah, they have sent me a replacement oven. They REALLY stand by their products, I love that! They very reasonably asked me to make my current oven non-operant and to send them evidence of that, and once I did so, they immediately processed a new shipment. So now I'll have to go try my new one. Thanks, Cuisinart! I changed this review to 5 stars for now. I will retry the new oven and see how it goes.

The bake setting is useless. I have tried approx four times and it is either undercooked or burnt. The air fry is adequate, however the tray and basket are of such poor quality that they mark very easily. I have soaked in not soapy water but the stains remain. How do I return this item? I am not satisfied at all.

I am happy with this toaster oven instead of my old 2-slice toaster. It doesn't take up too much space on the counter. I am exploring the other functions, and have baked a few cookies at a time. I have discovered air-fryer broccoli, which is really great and takes only 9 minutes. I like how easy it is to clean compared to my old toaster. The tray at the bottom is non-stick and easy to remove and clean. There is no light inside, so I keep a little flashlight nearby.

The first few times I tried to use this, it sounded like something might have been stuck in the fan as there was a horrendously loud nonstop noise even though the oven was working. When I was about to call Cuisinart's service line I decided to test it just one more time, so it of course started working perfectly without a sound. It seems that this was just an initial issue but I know Cuisinart has a good warranty if needed later on. That said, it's really the perfect size for my apartment kitchen and I particularly wanted a multi-function oven air fryer, of which there are few options at this size. It works well and very fast as the small size doesn't require much time to heat up or circulate. I've used the included air fryer basket, tray, and a glass Pyrex on the Bake setting too. Now that it's quiet, I'm very happy with this purchase.
