Great oven - mediocre toaster,
May 15, 2005 Derek G (North of Cyrodiil) - See all my reviews
I bought this originally as a replacement for a toaster, but find myself baking a lot more now that I have it. What separates this model from the others is it is roomy enough to bake a small pizza or a large steak inside. This really comes in handy if you hate heating up a large oven (and the whole house) just to bake a small item.
The oven comes with a broiling pan in addition to a grill rack and it heats up very quickly thanks to four separate heating elements; two above and two below. A blue indicator on the front of the oven lights up when it's turned on and a safety feature turns off the heating elements automatically when the oven door is opened. Three separate knobs control how you want to use it. One selects the temperature you wish (up to 450 degrees), another timer selects how long you wish to bake (up to 30 minutes), and a third and less-useful timer is designed strictly for toasting. Allegedly you can set it to light, medium, and dark for perfect toasting...Read more

Problem # 2: the door handle detached from the glass door within 2 weeks
Problem #3: the toaster oven and the sides of the handle get quite hot (which, aside from posing a fire hazard, is a big deal when the handle falls off when you are checking on food--you have to put it back on...)
Problem #4: there have been at least 2 fires inside the toaster
Problem #5: the baking mechanism broke so I can only toast (the blue indicator light does not light up when the oven is on bake & the toaster does not bake)
Problem #6: the toaster alternates between taking forever to toast a piece of toast and quickly burning it
Problem #7: the toaster toasts unevenly (I flipped my bread over half way through the cycle to make sure the sides got toasted...Read more
