Haier RTR1200 4-Slice Toaster Oven/Broiler, White

We've had this toaster oven for about a month, and I'm very satisfied. After going through several ovens that either didn't cook evenly or failed completely (the door on the expensive Cuisinart wouldn't close after a few months), I chose this one because of Haier's good reputation. I've used it for heating frozen waffles, broiling English Muffins and baking a 5-pack of refrigerator biscuits. It did well on all of them, but as with any broiling operation, you have to watch it. Much to my husband's dismay, I have a tendency to butter muffins, put them under the broiler and start doing something else until they catch on fire. I didn't do that this time, but the first time I used it, I set the timer for too long, causing the smoke alarm to go off. The muffins were pretty crispy! That was operator error, and I would recommend this product for people who want to use it as a supplement to their regular oven.

It's the smallest oven we've ever owned, but it's all we need...Read more

This unit looks great. However, I had to return two toasters, and the third one also went bad. The first time the temperature control broke and would not work. The next oven would not heat unless I hit the oven once or twice. This was probably due to a loose connection. I tried to fix it but it had over 15 screws inside and out and I had trouble looking getting inside it to see where the loose connection was. The third toaster just quit working after six months. All Haier appliances are made in China. I'm sure the quality depends on which factory is making the specific toasters. My wife and I liked the oven as a whole, and would have rated it a 4 had not the previous ovens developed problems.

Bought this for a gift. It works fine, but it is slow to make toast. Other than that it is great.
