Amazon.com Review
More versatile than a toaster, this toaster oven not only browns bread but can cook smaller quantities of food, such as baked potatoes or a few helpings of lasagna, without requiring you to use your main oven. The 1,000-watt toaster oven fits about four bagels or slices of bread and offers two different positions for its rack, depending on whether you prefer to toast or broil. In addition to baking or broiling options, the control panel offers a warming alternative and a setting for toasting and reheating pizza (which never turns out right in the microwave). The timer can be set for up to 15 minutes of cooking and a bell alerts you when time is up. You may also override the timer and set the power to the "stay on" position. The toaster oven has an easy-to-clean interior with a removable crumb tray and a handsome brushed stainless-steel exterior with a cool-touch handle on the door. Accessories that come with this toaster oven include a chrome-plated wire rack, a baking tray, and tongs for removing the tray without burning your hands. --Cristina Vaamonde

I got this toaster at another vendor... on sale for $19.99. for the price I paid it's absolutely wonderfull... but these are the issues I have:
a) the exterior is not insulated at all (it's a thin little sheet of metal).
b) The temp dial is not an adjustable dial; the temps are "bake", "toast/pizza" "broil" and "keep warm".
If you're like me-toasting is mostly what I use, I do not have kids and have a very smart cat, then it's fine to have. I have had nothing but good from this appliance; but for me it is an interum appliance until I can find the toaster that has the attributes I want for an acceptable price. I was looking to buy a cheap toaster oven that would toast and cook individual frozen foods, and found this one. I would not pay more $ for mine.

I didn't think it would be so hard to find a replacement for an old toaster oven. This is the second one we bought and returned (first was B&D). Same problems; basically, the timer is ineffective (doesn't 'ding' when toast is ready). We're not asking for any bells and whistles, just something that makes toast, bagels, rolls, etc. If someone finds a good one for under $50, please recommend.

1. Toaster oven never toasted bread evenly.
2. I did not feel the temperature was ever high enough to cook meat or chicken without drying it too much.
3. The time handle broke very soon after I started using the product.
4. The outside was virtually impossible to clean. I have a lot of stainless steel appliances large and small - have no problem cleaning those and shining with Windex, but this toaster seems to attract the dirt and grease and not let go of it. The spots then turn brown with heat, of course and the toaster looks old and ugly after a year of use.
5. Same goes for the glue trace rectancle from the warning sticker on top - I was not able to remove all of it so it turned brown with time. Perhaps I should have used Goo-Gone.
I am only giving this product 2 stars instead of 1 because it did get me through a year of warming up sliced frozen bread and pizza.

I live alone, and I bought this so that I wouldn't be using my big energy-hog oven just fix a couple of fish fillets, or a potpie just for myself. I've been reading the strange expectations people have from an item designed to make toast and other small snacks. I knew I wouldn't be roasting a chicken in here (hope to get a roaster oven for that!) And I don't eat toast, so I'm not going to get a hissy about too-brown bread. Here's a little of what I've made with mine so far in the week I've had it:
Eggo Waffles Homestyle - 10 minutes on toast setting for two of them.
Marie Callendar Pot Pie - an hour and 15 minutes on bake. The smaller Banquet Pot Pie, 45 minutes on bake.
Gorton's Battered Fish Fillet - 20 minutes on bake for two of them.
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, 4 at a time - 15 minutes on bake.
Oh, yes, and two slices of Healthy Nut bread with butter - 8 minutes on toast. (I like mine medium dark.) Even though it's a four slice toaster, only two slices of my Oroweat Healthy Nut bread would fit.
Ever be engrossed in a computer game or other project and forget about what you're cooking? Or have you ever taken a nap while waiting for a snack to cook, only to wake up with a startle and say, "Oh, no, my food!"? No worries! A simple "ding" and the oven shuts itself off! No more electricity than you need! I have yet to burn anything in this toaster oven. What regular-sized oven will turn itself off at the end of baking time? Timers rock!
There are two knobs. One for "do you want to toast, bake, or broil", and the other for "how long?" The ultimate in simplicity, actually. It's very easy to clean; I've seen some extremely gross toaster ovens in people's homes, there's no reason to let this one get that bad, honestly.
Am I concerned that there is no Farenheit or Celsius temperature increments? No. I've learned that bake setting does the job, although I may need to cook the potpies longer than what the package says, only because the bake setting doesn't go to 400 degrees. This is actually a good thing, because they've started putting the potpies in paper pie plates rather than the aluminum ones like they used to. (I must be the only one on Earth who doesn't own or want to own a microwave). And am I worried that this may not last past its warranty? I couldn't care less. I knew this wasn't anything I would be passing on to my next of kin when I bought it. If I need another, I'll buy it.
I do have to be careful not to put any plastic or paper around it while it's cooking because it gets VERY hot. If you've got a cat that likes to jump your counter, she'll learn her lesson with this one! It's made of thin metal, not insulated by porcelain like a big oven, and so it doesn't retain any heat; any heat on the inside, you're going to feel on the outside. I believe ALL toaster ovens, especially inexpensive ones like this one, are made like that.
So unless you need more capacity, I think this one works well for the single person, otherwise find a countertop oven or something else larger. Amazon.com may not sell this anymore, but you can get it extremely cheap elsewhere. Check your favorite clearance item store. In the meantime, I may decide to go digital in the future, but for now this simple one works well for me.

However, I paid only $19.95 for it and only use for toasting french bread. Other than that, it's not worth more than what I paid.
