Oster 6232 6-Slice Toaster Oven, Black with Chrome Accents

This is the largest capacity toaster oven I've seen in this price range, which greatly increases its versatility; it also has two shelves that can be arranged in different ways. So far, the one thing I do not like about it is that "on" and "off" are controlled through the timer. Not only is this a somewhat confusing extra step, but timers are notorious for being the first thing to wear out. Whether this is a problem or not remains (at least a decade, I hope) to be seen. Another reviewer lacked an instruction book and asked for the directions for toasting. For most toasting, use the bottom rack in the "up" position. Turn the temperature control knob to "Max." Turn the function selector knob to "Toast." (Both the top and bottom heater elements will operate.) Turn the timer knob past 15 minutes and return it to the desired setting (for bread, I'd recommend starting with no more than 2-4 minutes and taking it from there).

I find that this toaster oven is to complicated. You have to leave it on max and work everything through the timer. Then to toast you have to turn past 15 minutes, and back to the desired
doneness. I also don't like the fact that the outside gets very very hot.

Problems -
1. very sharp holes on broiler pan - sliced my thumb up badly
2. brief, inadequate users manual
3. door doesn't stay open at one inch increment for broiling as directions indicate
4. racks hard to manuever
5. plastic melting smell
6. toast takes 4 minutes +
7. Only used it for a fews days - so no more complaints!

Pluses
1. removable crumb tray
