highly recommended

happy camper

Shipped promptly, plugged in and worked - no hassle. it does cook faster than my old unit and the warmer is a great convenience.

good toaster oven

I did need to return this product once. The convection fan did not work.

The second shipment was just fine. My husband has been happily toasting bagels for 3 weeks now (JUL 08), & I have reheated leftovers and cooked small lunch portions.

I do not have a complaint about the "noise" of the convection fan that has been noted in other reviews.

My toaster oven is less noisy than the microwave next to it. Since the first product was faulty in the convection department, I have checked, intermittently. The fan works just fine.

We're very pleased with this product.

A must-have kitchen appliance

I love this toaster oven. Since purchasing it, it has become one of my most used appliances in the kitchen and almost completely replaced the use of my full size oven. I've hesitated to purchase toaster ovens in the past because they just seem so cheaply made- almost like a child's toy. In fact, most still are, but not this unit. It has a nice look about it and "feels" like a quality product deserving of sitting on the counter next to your high end mixer and other things.

Performance- wise, it is excellent. Preheating is unnecessary, so you simply set your temperature and cook time, put your food in and you're done. Thanks to the convection feature, everything so far has come out evenly cooked and usually a little quicker than the recommended time the product suggests. You can fit an eleven inch pizza inside and cook it with no problem. After having this unit I would never consider buying a unit without convection. It does seem to make difference.

My only criticism would be that I would have liked the main cooking compartment to be a little taller. It's amusing that the picture on the box shows it with a whole chicken inside it. They must have photoshopped that thing in there because there is no way a normal sized whole roaster is going to fit inside that thing! Funnier still, the box advertises the cooking compartment as "XXL"! It'll handle a couple of Cornish game hens, though.

Anyway, I didn't buy it to roast whole chickens or do any sort of long-time cooking jobs. I bought it to reduce the usage of my main oven and augment my microwave. A lot of times, we'll microwave small things that really should be baked because we don't want to wait for the oven to preheat and we don't want to heat up our kitchen. This little oven has cut my main oven use by three-quarters and my microwave use by a third. Oh, and it makes great toast!

gets the job done

I often heat up small things and didn't want to use the large oven for it....this does the job, but I think the whole warming area at the top was a mis-step. It takes up a lot of room that could be given to the oven - and let you put larger things in it. It also makes such a small open area when the baking pan is used that I frequently burn my knuckles.

Good toaster oven - but lose the warming thing. They suggest you could fry an egg in it - but why would you want to?
