The CBO-1000 is very handy. I'm no cook, but within a few days of ownership I've made hamburgers, jalapeno-cheese cornbead and shish kebab. It is easy to clean, heats up quickly and doesn't take up much space. I would wholeheartedly recommend it as a countertop cooking appliance that does a lot.
However, I have one complaint and it's significant. The knob on the right that turns the unit on and also serves as a timer seems to have melted so that it no longer engages the stem. I can do all the same functions by sticking a screwdriver into a slot in the stem and twisting, but I definitely have a product that failed on the third round of cooking.
I hope Cuisinart will consider this problem and provide purchasers with knobs that don't succumb to the heat. I am in no way recommending that consumers substitute a screwdriver for the knob. IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS. Consumers shouldn't have to jury-rig a device that costs $129 and fails in three rounds of cooking.
I'd give this four or maybe five stars if the knob hadn't failed.
I purchased this through Amazon.

I called Cuisinart'ss telephone support line and the customer service representative abruptly hung up on me. The serial number on the product is very difficult to read. I was trying to give her the serial number when cut me off. I hope this is not a reflection on the company's products and customer care.

To start out, I'd really rather have a nice countertop oven, which I used to have and used constantly. But now we are living full time in our RV, and I just really don't have a place for a countertop oven, not a place that really works. While browsing around looking for one that might work, I came across this unique appliance, and after some thought, ordered it. It truly is multipurpose and versatile, and perfect for one or two people (we are a couple). It wouldn't hold enough for a larger family. It preheats very quickly and won't warm up your kitchen. I have used it for cakes, small loaves of yeast bread, muffins, biscuits, brownies, cookies (4 at a time), coffee cake, pancakes, quesadillas, baked chicken (pieces), hamburgers, braised chops, browning things for my little slow cooker, eggs, small (single serving) pizzas, eggs, casseroles, and I don't know what all else. The only part of the appliance I haven't yet tried is the kebab setup. I store it in my rv stove oven (which I hardly use anymore). I am very pleased with the baked goods, which I didn't like heating up the rv oven for, when we just need such small quantities. The crust on the baked goods is perfectly acceptable for my purposes, but it bakes a little moister than a conventional, or a countertop, oven and so food isn't quite as crisp. The tops aren't quite as brown as they would be from another type of oven. Same goes for the baked chicken-not quite as crispy. I think it's because it's such a tight space in there and nowhere for the moisture to go. Which means that baked goods aren't dried out, at least! There is talk in the reviews of toasting. I haven't tried non-contact toasting and imagine it wouldn't work very well, because of the reduced browning I've mentioned, but what I do is what I did before I got this appliance. I don't have a toaster in the rv (space) and have been making toast by laying the bread in a dry skillet until browned, then turning and repeating. That works just fine in this appliance. The only hard part of cleaning it is if you have used the skillet part, which is built in. I usually end up holding the entire appliance under the faucet to rinse out the main cavity, being careful, of course, not to get the rest of the appliance wet, and then turning it to pour out the water. A little awkward. Kind of like cleaning a contact grill that does not have removable plates. The pan insert finish is holding up beautifully, but I am holding my breath about the nonstick finish in the main skillet part. I only own nylon and silicone tools and am super careful, but I am already seeing more wear than I would like to. No peeling or anything, but I'm not entirely confident. Despite that, if I could only own one cooking appliance (besides the stove itself), this might be it. And if I were traveling and wanted something to supplement the microwave that usually is available, this would be it.Honest reviews on Cuisinart CBO-1000 Oven Central Countertop Oven, Brushed Stainless
I use this oven for everything! Don't know how I ever got along without it. It is the perfect size for one or two people and uses much less power than the big oven. I bake in it, steam fish and vegetables, make hashbrowns and eggs and also grill sandwiches.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Cuisinart CBO-1000 Oven Central Countertop Oven, Brushed Stainless
Its so hot in Phoenix, but I want to continue to use my oven. While at Macy's last month, I was asking an employee about a convention oven and see just suggested a tiny oven (like an adult easy bake!) It was on sale and I took it home. Needless to say, I use it almost every day. Same oven settings but it gets hotter faster and cooks a little faster. Like my crock pot, I set it on top of the stove or a large trivet to protect the counter-tops. You can cook anything from muffins to meatloaf in this thing I love it!
