Oster 6-Slice Extra Capacity Toaster Ovens/Convection Ovens

I purchased one of these and right off the bat I liked it. It replaced a smaller and very basic Black & Decker unit. The light is a fantastic feature. The convection fan blows air from the right side and I've noticed that the right side of the oven cooks faster. I can see this when making a frozen pizza. One day I bit into a piece of chicken that was WAY undercooked...yuck! I used an oven thermometer and noticed that the temperature in the oven was fully 50-100 degrees below the knob setting, even if given plenty of time to stabilize. I called Oster and they replaced the unit for me...very good customer service. I was within the one year warranty period by a few weeks (instead of outside the warranty period by a few weeks as is usually the case when things break!) The new unit arrived and I immediately checked the heating cycle with my thermometer and the oven set to 350 degrees on the convection bake cycle. The temperature reached 380 degrees then began to decline to 310...Read more

We have had several different toaster / convection ovens form different companies and none of them can hold a flame to this one. This one acutally has a convection fan that you can hear, and feel when it is on! The convection cooking fatureis great, I have made everything from cookies to pies in this oven and they have come out perfect. The light in the oven is a great idea most counter ovens do not have this feature. This appliance is a little larger than an normal toaster oven, but that is so it can hold the six slices of toast, and a 12 inch pizza.

Unlike our previous Black and Decker Toast-R-Oven, this one doesn't burn Pop Tarts, it evenly heats leftover pizza without overcooking the crust into a cracker-like consistency.

It fits nicely on my counter. Bigger than our original, it is higher but not much wider or deeper. The best part by far is the light in the inside! Brilliant!

We don't do a lot of heavy counter top cooking, we have a regular over for that. But we do make a lot of toast, heat up foods and every once in a while, cook french fries. I am sure during the summer months, this smaller version will come in handy and keep our kitchen a lot cooler.
