Euro-Pro TO156 Extra-Large-Capacity 6-Slice Toaster Oven

The Euro-Pro, which I purchased around Christmas 2006, has been an excellent value for me. It can be found at several major retailers, and I paid less than $30 for mine at Best Buy. Now, if you're all about snob appeal (or a stainless steel chassis) then you'd probably do better buying a Kitchenaid toaster. Sure, you'll pay five times the price, but that's what you get when you desire snob appeal. Actually, you get more than that with the Kitchenaid, but my level of culinary expertise doesn't require the extra features of the higher-priced brands.

Let me extol the virtues of this oven point by point:

1. The Price: It's cheap. It's really cheap.

2. The Look: No, it doesn't have the flair of the stainless steel models, but its clean, white chassis is certainly not offensive.

3. The size: It's not too big, not too small. It doesn't dominate your limited countertop, but it's much roomier inside than similarly-priced models. The...Read more

While I agree with the previous review that this toaster oven is inexpensive and that the white color is very nice for blending with any kitchen, I am unhappy with the purchase.

The timer is VERY unpredictable. It often gets stuck when it's under 10 minutes (which is a lot if you're toasting) and so your food burns if you're not right there.

More problematic is that if I want to run several cycles of toast, I can't. It seems that one is its limit. I would recommend using the "Stay on" button if you're doing multiple toasting cycles and just stand right there and watch your toast.

So all in all, I'm never buying another one. And I'm sort of hoping it dies soon so that I can get...Read more

This is the worst toaster oven I have ever had or used for that matter!

The heating is completely uneven, the bottom of things burns while the top is raw and the back of the oven heats MUCH more than the front. The door does not close well. The timer has a ticking noise that you can't turn off and you can't put the timer for less than 10 minutes or it won't stay on.
