Summary: Best toaster oven I have ever had 2008-10-06
Comment: We bought this great convection toaster oven about ten months ago for $60. It gets daily usage for toast, heating food, and cooking food, all with excellent results. Even pizza and baking cookies! One tip for the best results is to always be mindful of the position of the rack. For instance, for toast always be sure the rack is positioned so that the bread is the same distance between the top and bottom elements. For pizza I find moving it up a notch is better.
This unit makes the most evenly toasted toast that I've experienced in a toaster oven. And the electronic button for selecting doneness is pretty accurate.
I agree with other reviewers that the controls could have been made more user friendly, but after using it for a couple of weeks I got used to all of the settings and best temperatures to use, and now it's second nature. One thing that I still have a problem with, however, is that you have to press off twice to turn the oven off, just once puts it on pause. My husband has accidentally left it on a couple of times, but it will go off when the timer runs out.
The only other negative is that when you pull something out to reposition food, etc. the tray kind of collapses down unexpectedly so if you're not careful you can get burned, or your food can come flying out at you.
All in all this is a great oven for all of the purposes it's meant for. If it weren't for the couple of things I mentioned I would give it five stars.

Summary: TERRIBLE controls. Otherwise mediocre toaster oven. 2008-09-03
Comment: Decent sized toaster with some of the most horrible controls you could possibly think of. There are no knobs for anything. A "correctly" designed toaster oven would have one knob for temperature, and one for a timer. This one defaults to 30 minutes and 300*F temperature. To fan-bake something at 450*F for 10 minutes, I'd have to press the "oven" button twice, then the "Down" button about 20 times to change from 30 minutes to 10, and then the Timer/Temp button to switch to the temp controls, and then press the "Up" button about 5 times to reach 450*F. Then I have to press start. On any decent toaster oven, all of this would involve twisting two knobs.
Whoever designed these digital controls should never hold another job.
Oh, and the outside of the unit gets so hot that you can't touch it. It's not very well heat insulated.

Summary: TOASTS FAST AND BAKES FAST! GREAT PRICE! 2008-08-27
Comment: For those of you who said it takes too long to toast, I believe you are doing it wrong. Mine does a nice even dark toasting in around 2 minutes or less. You need to place toaster rack on the upper part of toaster and set the toaster level to darker toast.
I use this small oven for lots of baking and it does a great job! Great price too for the quality and size of this product.

Summary: Nice oven - unfriendly controls 2008-08-12
Comment: We have owned this oven for about six months now. It gets 5 stars for cooking. In conventional mode the temperatures are even side to side and almost even front to back, with the front being about 15 degrees cooler than the back at a 400 degree setting. Convection mode evens out that small differential. Convection cooking requires some time to get accustomed to the differences. Food cooks faster and the surface dries out more. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not. Toasting works only fair. Dry bread browns quickly and gets quite dark. Very moist bread only gets warm unless you extend the toasting time or toast something twice.
We have baked with it and are happy. We have toasted with it and are merely satisfied.
The oven is noisy. While the convection fan makes little noise, the heating elements appear to change length every time they cycle on or off. The unit sits there making fairly loud creaking noises the entire time it is in use. Great for halloween, but not the rest of the year.
I opened the back and looked around. I could see no discernable sign of insulation. The top, sides and back get quite hot while the oven is in use. There are plenty of vent holes and slots which ventilate the case and prevent unsafe temperatures. Recommend that you do not let anything plastic sit nearby while the oven is in use - but - the oven makes a great plate warmer. The top is wide enough to set two 10 inch dinner plates side by side.
The oven is a bit difficult to clean inside. One must be very careful not to tear up your cleaning cloth, leaving bits behind and be careful not to cut your hands or fingers on the sharp edges.
All the members of our family give the user friendliness of the controls Zero points or stars. It seems to us that the controls were designed by a legal team who are very worried that the oven might actually get hot someday. In spite of reading the directions -- but not memorizing every exact step required to turn it on, we find that at least half the times we go to use the oven, we never actually turned it on. One has to program and press start on a microwave, apparently in a specific order. None of our other toaster ovens have ever worked like this. What ever happened to a dial for temp and a twist knob for time. These always seem to work. We will buy a cheaper and simpler oven next time.
We own many other Oster items and are usually very happy with them. The company seems to make items which work wekk and are durable. We are hoping this oven fails in some way or takes a lightening hit. This oven has turned us off from buying with this brand name ever again or at least for a long time.
If you like the controls, you will probably like the oven. If, like us, you don't, you will probably hate it.
