Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Space-challenged kitchens or weekend cabins are ideal for this two-in-one appliance. Not only is the unit a microwave with ten power levels and a glass turntable, but it’s a toaster oven with a nonstick crumb tray, baking pan, and chrome baking rack. Use this ingenious combo to bake brownies and casseroles, broil cheese sandwiches, brown meats, toast two sliced bagels or four pieces of bread, and much more. The 0.6-cubic-foot interior features a nonstick finish with top and bottom heating elements. Electronic controls include a timer, 24-hour clock, defrost, and preset, the latter of which features three common settings: popcorn, beverages, and reheat. In toaster oven mode the appliance uses 1500 watts of power; in microwave mode, 700 watts. Handsome in appearance with a satin metal finish and black accents, the appliance measures 17-3/4 by 14 by 11-1/2 inches and comes with a three-foot cord. Venting occurs out the top of the back. Rival covers the oven with a limited one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, December 9, 2003

Terrible! Weighs a ton - takes 6 mintutes to toast; can't do basic microwaving. You have to change out the racks between microwaving and toasting - too much of a hassle and crumbs everwhere. We re-packed this for return almost immediately!

The switchover from microwave to toaster oven and back is not toooo time consuming, but it is a bit bothersome.

The condensation from microwaving is a huge pain. Water literally runs down the interior walls and door, and drips out when opened. If the door is not left open for hours to air-dry the interior, the water will still be there the next day.

An email to Rival got this response:
"I have just received your email and I would like to thank you for writing. I am sorry to hear of your disappointment with our product. The condensation build up on the door is normal. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."

Conveniently blew me off and ignored my description of water running down the sides and out the door.

A local retail giant has been selling these things as low as $38 to get rid of them.

I bought this on sale at our local superstore, thinking it would be a great all-in-one replacement for our microwave and toaster oven. I was wrong.

Six minutes to make toast? That's totally unacceptable. Not only that, it dried out the bread before it toasted it.

The interior is small, if you can deal with that. I can't.

The microwave is underpowered. It takes too long to heat food.

After any kind of cooking, the condensation buildup is tremendous. The unit runs a fan to vent the interior after it's done cooking, but that isn't enough. The moisture will stay on the inside of the unit for hours after cooking, if you don't leave the door open. No thanks.

I suppose I could have gotten used to using the switches to change modes, but having the re-tool the unit's interior furnishings each time I changed cooking modes was too much.

My unit had a defective lower heating coil, so all things considered, back to the store it went. I used the store credit to buy a new, nicer toaster oven, and I put my (not so) old microwave back on the counter.
