Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi XA660 Alfredo Accutime 6-Slice Toaster OvenCustomer Review: It worked well...for awhile! Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this oven upon glowing recommendations from relatives and friends who had owned DeLonghi's. They especially raved about the toasting capability. I guess I turned out to be the star-crossed owner. :-(
It is a nice size, and it cooked reasonably well (hence 2 stars instead of 1). But my main thing is toast, and that is where the problems lay. The timer knob broke after about six months--and the oven would get stuck "ON." If I didn't watch very closely, I would have a real problem on my hands, and I don't mean just burnt toast.
I debated whether I should try to get the unit fixed or throw it away and buy something else. After talking to different people, I concluded it would be more expensive to fix than replace. Sad, considering all the pollution in landfills, and that the oven cost a pretty penny.
However, I read reviews on another DeLonghi oven (the Retro), and there appears to be a legion of dissatisfied customers who experienced similar problems. I don't feel so bad now. One thing is for sure: This was my first DeLonghi, and now it will definitely be my last.
Description of DeLonghi XA660 Alfredo Accutime 6-Slice Toaster OvenA sensible alternative to heating up the whole oven unnecessarily, this toaster oven/broiler can handle many of your cooking needs more efficiently. It will draw less electricity and keep your kitchen from becoming an inferno on hot summer nights. Easy to use and clean, it's large enough to toast 6 slices of bread at one time. Like all DeLonghi products, it will give your countertop a certain Italian panache as well! Bread is life's sustenance, but it's even more special once it's been toasted. The DeLonghi XA660 Alfredo toaster oven has a large 6-slice toast capacity and DeLonghi's exclusive, easy-clean DuraStone enameled porcelain interior, which distributes heat evenly for maximum consistency in toasting, baking, broiling, and top-browning. This multi-function counter-top oven offers bake, broil, toast, and "keep warm" functions. Other features include a toast-color selector and end-of-cycle signal with auto shut-off, fully adjustable thermostat, and a simplified selector dial for controlling cooking programs and temperatures. It has a 2-hour manual timer with auto shut-off and a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning.
