Frigidaire Professional 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven

 (22 customer reviews)

This little oven is a remarkably versatile piece of kitchen equipment, that I probably would have never thought I needed, but now find myself using more and more every day. It is a very effective toaster, with different settings for toast and bagels, and a six slice capacity which is appreciated in my household of six, but as I said in the title to this review, on the balance it is really an oven that toasts rather than the other way around. With dedicated settings for baking, broiling and pizza, it offers a great alternative to heating up the entire oven for small food items. To me, the perfect example is chicken tenders; normally if I wanted a few to throw on a salad, I would have had to heat the entire oven, which is incredibly wasteful given then small size of the item being cooked. However, with this unit, I can heat up a much smaller volume, saving energy and wear and tear on my oven.

The first thing you might think is how complicated to use a digital oven toaster. It needs a bit of a learning curve, but it is not too bad as it has only a few knobs and buttons, but you will need to read the manual that came with it.

This is our third convection oven, but our first digital. The fan that circulates the heated air is quiet compared to our previous ones. It heats faster using the halogen and quartz infrared technology. I guess similar to the infrared lamps use to warm bathrooms during the cold weather days. You can actually see the wire elements turn red hot in a matter of seconds; they are in the form of a spring (as opposed to straight metal rods)...Read more

No issues with the construction/assembly of my oven. It preheats so quickly! It has worked well so far on toast, pizza, cheese bread, dinner rolls, and more! The pans included work nicely. I found the controls intuitive and easy to use, I did breeze through the manual before hand though. I would gladly recommend this item and would certainly purchase it again.

Edit - it blew up while toasting after maybe a dozen uses. The upper heating element/bulb actually melted a hole and made a huge flash. Looking for repair or replacement now. I will more than likely have to pay to ship it to a repair center.
