Cuisinart Black Toaster Oven (Refurbished)

I purchased this toaster oven to replace a similar toaster oven (same model, different color) that had stopped baking recently. I had the original one for 4 years and it got a lot of daily use. The first one had an oddity, every once in a while it would buzz and we would have to unplug it and replug it to get it to stop. It was the toaster signal going wacky. When the bake setting died we saw a little trail of smoke come out of the vents and smelled a bit of burnt plastic smell. The other settings, including toast, worked fine but besides the fact that we used the bake setting almost every day, I wanted to replace because it made me nervous that something was going on with it that might cause a fire or something. I really like the design of this toaster oven. It's got a good amount of room inside yet is not overly big on the outside. We had a small counter area that it must fit in and it fits perfectly. I also like the fact that you use the bake setting without a timer. Many toaster ovens require you to turn a timer button on to get the unit to go on in the bake mode, this one, just put the dial on bake and it's on. I can set my own timer and not have to futz around with the stupid timer, which often are hard to set accurately so you have to overset it and then set a separate timer anyway. My previous model had a stainless steel body with black trim, this model is a matte black with a kind of painted silvery color trim (it is not stainless steel or chrome). I think my previous model was more attractive, but this one is fine and the matte black body stays much cleaner than the stainless steel one. The painted handle has a little scratch on it, but it's barely noticeable. This model's toast signal does not seem to work. My dh says that he heard it faintly the first time he used it, but I've never heard it. I do miss that as it's nice to have an audio clue that the toast is done, but it's not a big deal. I figure that at least the signal won't be going off when it's not supposed to with this one (I hope!) The crumb tray is easy to clean, I just take it out and brush the crumbs off most of the time and wash it when something burns onto it. It's got some kind of non-stick surface on it, so cleans easily. I use the tray, often with a piece of foil on top, to bake a lot and it's good, but I have never used the little broil rack thing that sits inside it. The wire rack has two slots for height and is also designed in such a way that if you reverse it you change it's height, so in essence you get 4 height positions. The bake setting goes up to 500 F. I'm happy with it and just hope this one lasts longer than the first one.
