Hamilton Beach 24708 Toastation 4-Slice Toaster and Oven

Comment: We had the smaller verizon of the toastation and we were looking for one with more capacity. This is great. Good toast and toaster oven works well. Downside..no timer on the oven.

Comment: I was so excited to receive this item so fast. It was packed well & is pretty to look at. That is where my nice talk ends. This should NEVER be called a Toaster Oven. It was not until i read the use booklet did i realize it is a useless product. My full size oven heats up less & cools down faster then JUST THE TOASTER PART of this unit. I made 4 slices of toast in the toster part & my whole kitchen stayed HOT from this unit for awhile. Then i learned that you MUST NOT EVER pop POP TARTS in the TOASTER PART. MY GOSH - Even my $12.00 old toaster does that. Now on to the so called oven part. I have owned toaster ovens in the past. The whole point is not to have heat up your regular oven especialy in the summer months. I must have missed something because you CANNOT cook anything in this product. No Broiling , Small Baking or any other small tasks that most all toaster ovens let you do. I dont need a machine this size & this amount of $ to heat up a slice of pizza or some frozen french fries. My full size oven does that with less heat & cools off faster. Really, the outside stays very hot for a long time. This was a total waste of needed money for me. I have no use for it. Wish i could return it but I threw out the box already. Hamilton Beach 24708 Toastation 4-Slice Toaster and Oven

Comment: This product is exactly as described. I wanted to be able to toast, and to occasionally use the toaster oven. It's advantage for me is that I don't have to have 2 appliances on my counter top. The toaster oven space is narrow as others have said. This isn't a problem for me, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who need it for larger items or heavy use.

Comment: Over the years I've found that a counter-top toaster and oven is a handy item for the kitchen - especially with teenagers who like to make their own food at odd (to me) hours. This product seems to work well, if not perfect, for both a toaster and small oven. The toast comes out toasted fairly evenly on both sides and the toaster handles bagels, english muffins and bread of all sizes. The oven does an adequate job but the thermostat isn't exactly "spot-on" - it tends to burn items if you use the recommended setting, so I've learned to set it about 50 degrees under what is recommended. The only other con is that this product does not have a timer on the oven portion. A small inconvenience for an item that otherwise works well. So in the end, I find this to be a good, but not quite perfect product at a reasonable price.

Comment: This toaster oven is a very good small appliance. It toasts very well and it is very convenient to have a 4 slice toaster.
The oven section is much smaller and does not have the height I had in previous toaster ovens. You can only use the oven for very flat items.
