The first one shocked me with its terrible functioning, but as of purchasing the second one, I have no complaints with its operation (thus far). I wonder if these ovens suffer from some quality control issues. In order, here are my reviews:

Review #1: This is quite possibly one of the worst appliances I have ever bought in my life and I seriously hope my model is simply defective.

The West Bend 74766 oven is wonderful for busy families. It's versatile enough to accomodate snacks, pizzas, biscuits, or whatever the need. It has become an essential tool in our kitchen and is used throughout the day. It has also eliminated the need to use our kitchen oven for smaller items, and we prefer it over our microwave. A great return on a small investment.

I bought this toaster oven for Thanksgiving, because I always seem to have trouble getting everything done at the same time. It did the trick!! It works very well.
