This toaster oven is one of the best purchases I have made. It is a little more expensive than other ovens but it is sturdier and larger. I use it exclusively for all my baking/toasting. The only change I would make are larger nob displays. I needed to have replacement nobs but had no problem receiving them from the company. My favorite plus remark about this oven is that while it is in use the whole kitchen does not get hot. I have canisters nearby. They have never been effected by heat coming from the oven. Baking is quite pleasurable.
I've had this very oven for about 3 years with no problems. However, my heavy-handed husband has broken the middle dial (the one that sets the timer or turns on until you turn it off). He didn't know it was unplugged and used force on the knob unnecessarily. I am in search of a replacement of the same (stainless - not black), but it's been hard to find. So, I thought I'd try another model, but everything out there seems to be convection (which I do not want); does not have the interior light (which is WONDERFUL!!); and/or does not pop-out the tray/rack when you open the oven door (DELIGHTFUL FEATURE). So, I've become spoiled and am now on the hunt for the same Delonghi that I had. The cool sides are great. The size is perfect. You can cook everything from a whole chicken to a full-sized pizza, and the interior light keeps you from having to open the door too much to check on the food's progress. My only complaint would be that I would have liked to receive two oven racks instead of one in the box; one for the bottom and one for the top, so that I can bake two levels at the same time. Even so, I give it a 5-star.
We loved our Delonghi and although it was big for a small kitchen it worked great for pizzas, cookies, toast and bagel bites. Cooked perfectly with no burning on top. Also we loved that we could "bake" on a hot day without heating the house with the full size oven. Sadly one day it just stopped working. We thought a fuse had blown for the outlet as there was no warning. I am trying out another brand but miss the light which it had when it opened, tray popping out when you open door, the not burning so am thinking of trying again despite the early demise.

Just wanted a basic toaster Oven.. and this did the trick.. has a timer that actually turns off the oven when done, either for toast or bake. Oven is plenty big enough.. but crumb collection at botton is not so good. otherwise OK
"NEW DElonghi ovens Cheap!"

I have owned many Delonghi Toaster ovens oven years.Delonghi ovens are generally made well & durable for years. Delonghi ovens are typically more expensive than other manufacturer but worth the money. This model EO1200B is from Delonghi newest line of toaster oven. It looks & is made very cheap. I used my mother's rmodel EO1200B oven and was very disappointed. Interior oven walls are made of aluminum not durastone enamel like other delonghi ovens. Aluminum inside oven impossible to clean. The wire rack can only be used one way. Other delonghi oven racks have 2 positions. Inside oven there are 2 positions/slots to put rack but bottom rack slot is too low to coils & will burn food. Pizza will fit in oven only if pizza is made "perfectly" to align with shape of back wall. Do not recommend this oven. Buy an older Delonghi ovens which are made much better. I think Delonghi cut corners on their NEW LINE of toaster ovens to compete with other manufactures prices!!
