Cuisinart TOB-60N1CS Toaster Oven Review
Our verdict
A step-up Cuisinart toaster oven that combines a roomy 0.6 cu ft interior, 1,800 watts of power, and a distinctive copper stainless finish. At $99.88 it costs more than budget options but less than the brand's premium convection lineup, landing it squarely in the practical mid-range.

Overview
The Cuisinart TOB-60N1CS builds on the brand's standard toaster oven design with a combined stainless steel and copper finish that stands out in a sea of plain silver and black appliances. The 0.6 cu ft interior is spacious enough for a 12-inch pizza, four slices of toast, or a small baking dish, making it practical for households of two or three.
Power comes from an 1,800-watt element that reaches cooking temperature promptly. The unit measures 15.5 by 19.1 by 9.8 inches, a standard mid-size footprint. Knob controls handle temperature and time with the reliability that Cuisinart knob mechanisms are known for.
With 1,700 reviews at 4.3 stars, buyers respond well to the copper aesthetic and the Cuisinart build quality. A handful of buyers note the copper accent can show fingerprints more than a matte finish would, which is worth knowing before buying for a high-traffic kitchen.

Performance notes
The 1,800-watt heating element makes this one of the higher-powered knob-control toaster ovens in the mid-range. The 0.6 cu ft interior handles everyday tasks from toast to small roasts with good results. Without convection, rotating items midway through longer bakes helps even out browning.
What buyers say
Buyers at 4.3 stars with 1,700 reviews highlight the good looks and the reliable Cuisinart build. The copper finish draws specific compliments in reviews, with a few noting it requires regular wiping to keep looking sharp. Performance complaints are rare and tend to be about even heating on the rack edges.

Frequently asked questions
Is the copper color on the TOB-60N1CS just an accent or the whole exterior?
The TOB-60N1CS uses a copper and stainless steel combination finish. The primary body is stainless steel with copper-toned accents, giving it a two-tone look rather than a fully copper exterior.
Does the Cuisinart TOB-60N1CS include a baking rack and pan?
Cuisinart typically includes a baking rack and broiling pan with this model. Confirm the exact accessory list on the current listing, as bundle contents can vary by retailer.
Can this oven bake a full loaf of bread?
The 0.6 cu ft interior can accommodate a standard loaf pan depending on its dimensions. A 9 by 5 inch loaf pan fits in most units of this class, but check the interior clearance dimensions in the manual to be sure.
