Great - But....
The good:
For making pizza or for baking small items, this works really well. If you want it just as a replacement for your toaster, then you'll be pounding a nail with a sledge hammer... Get it if you need both functions.
The not so good:
1) The printing on the function buttons (on - off) wore off after about a month or so. Not a big problem since we knew what the buttons were for by then.
2) It runs hot for baking, etc, so plan to run it ~ 25F lower than your recipe (also not too big of a problem, once we figured it out).
3) After about 3 mos, the top heating elements failed (big problem).
I just called Cuisinart's customer service. They will be shipping me a new unit (7-10 days), and I'll have to return the old one back to them (along with $20 for shipping both ways). Still, their response was definitely hassle-free. I'll post a few months from now to update...
