Oster 6290 6-Slice Toaster Oven, Black

Comment: I just bought this toaster oven yesterday and have used it three times so far. First, it is sleek, stylish, and a good size for a toaster oven (it can hold a whole frozen pizza woo!). Second, it was easy to set up and the instruction manual was very well written. I was able to use the bake, warm, and toast functions without much problem. The crumb tray is also large and removes easily. With that said, I cannot vouch for other's reviews about it almost causing fires. I think, with any appliance, it is probably a good plan to test the features closely first before adopting a casual attitude. Anyway, I am happy with it so far and hope it lives up to the quality of the Oster brand!

Comment: Nice looks, but unreliable product. The timer broke after 8 months. It also takes a long time to toast. We have been searching for a few years for a quality toaster oven for a decent price. This one was disappointing.

Comment: This is one of the worst pieces of crap I have ever bought. It has, with in the last two years, caused fires which almost totally burned down my kitchen. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

Comment: I have owned this junk for several months now. I use it often when I use it, but never over a period of several days. So, I do not use it daily, if I did, I will be buying a replacement right now... a competitors of course. Issues:

The heat does not regulate in it at all.
The glass door is a joke, it does not close due to a catch on the bottom of the left hand side, you have to keep pushing it down so the door will close right.
The blower in it is noisy.
The black paint on it already is showing signs of heating up and discoloring and is looking bad.
The unit is very light, poorly made overall.
There is no shelf on the bottom of the unit if you wanted to make several things at once, you can't.
The rack slips out of the grooves in the sides and falls down.

Oster.... You should be ashamed of yourselves for putting out such garbage. Buyers beware, 199% JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Somewhat dissapointed. Use is mostly for toast. Hard to judge as to where to set timer for optimum toasting. Wish now that I had kept my Black & Decker Toaster.
