The best toaster oven I've ever owned - and I've owned many. As a consulting chef, caterer and now food writer, I am constantly experimenting; this oven is the answer for the casual cook or the pro. Jude Teal[@]

This little oven has great style and function at a price under the competition. Extra neat is its ability to both warm the bread and cook the main attraction. General cleanup is easy. But keeping the glass cover on the warming oven clean is an extra chore.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was reasonably quick with good communication during the shipping process.

The only drawback for me is that the timer max is 90 minutes, so I have to redo the settings to add minutes halfway through when cooking baked potatoes because we like the skins crispy.

Great product. Does so many different functions all in one compact unit. We were firing up a very large gas convection oven that had to preheat for 25 minutes just to bake a pie. Now baking begins almost immediatly - faster and less costly to do many of the things we were doing. Also, after reading a few books about the fancy microwave we have and what microwaving does to foods, we hardly ever use that unit anymore. This toaster/oven has become the "cooker" of choice. In fact, we are considering giving one of these units to each of our married 3 sons families as Christmas gifts.In this day of specialization it is hard to find a product that does many functions and does them well. We have owned this toaster/oven for a month so do not have a comment on the longivity of the unit - but for [$], [...] it appears to be one of the better "bargins" on the street.

We were a bit concerned that it would be too large, but when we got it out of the box, it fit very easily on the kitchen counter under the cabinet. We like toasting very healthy, moist, barely-baked sprouted grain bread which falls apart in a regular toaster and gums it up, so a toaster oven is a must. This one does the job beautifully, plus toasts regular sliced bread very nicely, too. We weren't looking for a bun warmer feature, but have found it to be very useful. Another surprise that we love is that those delicious [...] health food brand pizzas fit perfectly in the toaster oven section! The doors open so wide that it's easy to reach in and clean and I love the pop-open, drawer-like crumb tray. Our previous toaster oven's crumb tray was accessible only from the underside, and I got very tired of having to take it outside to shake it clean! This is an excellent appliance, and a bargain for the price.

A little bundle of joy! I wanted a toaster oven I could use that would cook most of my smaller items evenly so I wouldn't have to use my larger oven. Cooks fast and evenly (including my cookies!). Modern looking design adds cosmetic interest as well. Buy this one if you need a medium sized toaster that works great but if you want to cook a large meal or large pizza, go for a bigger size.

 
I would buy this product again
By JanieGVerified Purchaser from southeastern Washington state on 2/25/2007
Pros:
Good Value, High Quality
Cons:
Expensive
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

While this is a little pricey, it's well worth it. Since I have only had this a couple of months, I can't comment on how long it will last. But it is made with quality. Door hinge is tight and closes well. Well insulated on the sides. When I first started using it, I wondered if I needed to wait for it to preheat when setting the time (for TV dinners, etc.) but found that I just need to set the temp, set the time for whatever the cooking instructions call for and pop the item in. Not noisy. One of my favorite features is that it automatically shuts off when it's done. My previous Toastmaster model didn't have that feature, and I was always terrified I'd forget about it and not turn it off or that my kids would forget. I haven't used the warmer function yet, so can't comment on that. The crumb tray very easily slides out for cleaning and the interior seems very easy to clean if it needs cleaning at all. Like all toaster ovens, you do need to exercise care when removing items from within so you don't burn yourself due to the small space. This one comes with a tool to pull the tray out, and I recommend using that. Though it's not small, the design is attractive, so I don't mind leaving it out on my counter as I do have enough space.
