I didn't even have the product 6 months before it self-destructed. The unit itself looks good and works well when it is working.
My advice would be to find another brand of toaster oven and purchase that one instead. If you register the unit, DeLonghi still won't honor the warranty unless you have the original receipt.
However, It should last longer than 6 months. I'm sure DeLonghi knows that most people would not be willing to go through the expense of having the unit boxed and shipped.
This was the 2nd DeLonghi toaster oven that I purchased. The on/off timer knob does not last on these units.
Then, at your expense, you have to package it and ship it off to some distant repair station, unless you live in one of those few cities that have one.
I've tried six different toaster models and this along with the other toaster ovens don't toast right. Simple junk First has no hour timer and second doesnt brown the toast evenly. shouldn't a Toaster toast right or whats the point of haveing a toaster oven.
Sad thing is, they can cost you your house or worse." The defective design is in the toast switch. After about a year the problem below started to happen. I will never again buy any Delonghi product. We literally had a house full of smoke & a toaster full of flames. You were warned. The toast switch stayed in the on position and my toast kept burning and burning. I should have listened."We had a rude awaking today, our Delonghi toaster was on fire.
It is mechanical. Funny thing is, Delonghi makes an attractive product. I read the review below before buying this toaster oven and ignored it because I loved how it looked and loved the removable tray. Thankfully, I caught it before it started a fire. When it finishes toasting, it sometimes continues to the "Always On" position thus leaving the toaster oven on toast: very, very hot.
If you already HAVE one.unplug it immediately and chunk it in the garbage. The timer had continued past the "toast" mode into "oven" mode.not a good thing when the temperature knob is set to it's highest setting to make toast. Tonight about 20 minutes after using it, I smelled something burning in my kitchen. I won't be purchasing another POS DeLonghi.I'm not going to bother trying to get it fixed, but I WILL bother reporting it as a fire hazard to the Amazon product safety team AND the US Consumer Poduct Safety Commission.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR RISK BURNING DOWN YOUR HOME WITH THIS ITEM. Like in some of the others' reviews, mine worked great for about 6 months. Last week the timer stopped making the "ding" when it finished a toasting cycle. When I tried to switch it off, the cheap plastic knob melted off in my hand.As soon as it cools off, it's going in the garbage, and I guess I'll have to start saving my money for a better model.and eat cold food for a few weeks.
After 1 month the timer stopped working. I got it back in a week and gave it back to my mom.
DON'T BUY THIS TOASTER OVEN. I'm going to toss that POS in the trash and get her a new one.
Now, just after the 1 year warranty was up, it completely stopped working. It has a very flimsy construction with very weak looking plastic knobs.
I bought this toaster over as a christmas present for my mom last year. I called Delonghi and they told me to take it to an authorized service center which was luckily down the street from my work.
The other reviews are correct too.
