Gorgeous retro styling on this 1,500-watt DeLonghi convection oven isn't just a front. The machine also performs--with the options of toasting, defrosting, baking, broiling, top-browning, and warming. Upper and lower heating elements, fan-circulated air, and the easy-to-clean DuraStone enameled interior deliver consistent and uniform heat distribution. The thermostat on this model is fully adjustable, with a temperature range from 200 to 450 degrees F. Additionally, it has specific settings for toast/broil, keep warm, and dehydrating. The machine accommodates up to six slices of bread at a time and comes with a toast-color selector dial and a slide-out crumb tray. DeLonghi includes two cookie sheets, a broiling rack, a shallow pan, two wire shelves, and a rubberized tray-grip. Great for everything from sirloin strips to bar cookies, the oven is also a looker, with sleek lines, polished chrome sides, and a brushed metallic front. An interior light and temperature-indicator lamp help you track your cooking with ease. --Emily Bedard

So far, so good., November 4, 2002

This review is from: Delonghi AR690 Retro Convection Oven (Kitchen)
I have owned this retro convection oven for 3 weeks now and have no complaints. Today I used the convection feature for the first time - and wow! My filo tarts were done in half the time, crisp on the outside, just perfect. I may retire my microwave. The toaster aspect works well, though you can't turn off the timer once you begin toasting - but that's no big deal, I figured out what setting I like right away. I admit, I was seduced by this oven's retro style, and am pleased that it works as good as it looks.

...still love it - I don't know what the last reviewer was talking about. To make toast you just need to figure out what setting you like best - maybe hers is defective? I use mine all the time, whatever fits, in lieu of my oven. Very easy to clean, still looks great too. Food cooks in half the time or less.

The DeLonghi AR690 gets 5 stars for its great retro design. It also cooks wonderfully. For instance, baked potatoes will get crisp skin on the outside while preserving moistness on the inside. My only complaint is that it's difficult to use both racks at the same time with anything of any significant height on either rack-- but I must remember that it is considered a small oven. I have eliminated my microwave in favor of the convection option this toaster oven offers. Although not as speedy as a microwave, the extra time is worth the health benefits. I highly recommend this purchase if counterspace is at a minimum and you would like something stylish and functional.
