DeLonghi is great! This oven replaced my previous DeLonghi Toaster oven which lasted at least 10 years before finally breaking. It was used at least 2-5 times a day---we have a family of seven!The Airstream oven was purchased because of the following reasons: (1) DeLonghi reputation, (2) Large capacity--can toast six slices, (3)this oven has 2 baking racks--double the baking capacity of my old oven, (4) quiet convection fan for more efficient baking, and (5) Amazon had the best price. Other kitchen product websites and stores were selling the Airstream oven for about $159, while Amazon's price was .... 39 of 39 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: DeLonghi AS670 AirStream Convection Toaster Oven, White (Kitchen) I've been through several brands and styles of toaster ovens over the years. This one is hands down one of the best I've used. It bakes/broils well and fast - *and* makes great toast (first round of toast takes a little longer - need to adjust lightness down the second time around after the oven warms up). It doesn't take up a whole lot of counter space, but I can put a 10 1/2 inch round pan in it - something I could never fit in any other toaster oven. It stays cool, has a removeable crumb tray and 2 racks. You can also defrost and dehydrate food in it, though I haven't used those features. Only drawback I could find was that the cord is on the short side for this type of appliance.I can't really comment on longevity since I haven't had it that long, but it so far has lasted longer than the Faberware that burst into flames. I hope it does last forever, though, because as toaster ovens go, this one is as close to perfect as you can get. 56 of 59 people found the following review helpful: By Marc R. Marcus (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: DeLonghi AS670 AirStream Convection Toaster Oven, White (Kitchen) I recently received this toaster oven and here's what I have to report: The toaster oven's fit and finish are fairly nice; however, the weak, wobbly plastic legs are a strange addition to this otherwise nice toaster oven. The cord is a little short, and the glass window gets very hot, but the dials are easy to use and intuitive. I found the manual to be a little difficult to follow (maybe since the toaster oven can do so much (toast, broil, bake with the convection fan, bake conventionally, warm, defrost, and dehydrate)) so if you plan on using your convection oven for all that it can perform, then be prepared to carefully read the manual several times. There is an oven light that can be used to determine when the toaster oven has pre-heated (it goes out), which is a nice feature. So far I have tested only how well the toaster oven toasts and I am happy to say that all toast has come out perfectly! In fact, I have owned several highly-rated Black and Decker toaster ovens...Read more |
