With the high expense of electricity, it can be costly to turn on a full-size oven for quick toasting and browning tasks. This toaster oven is a simple answer to keep electrical costs down. Use it for toasting bagels that don't always fit in a conventional toaster, or for melting cheese over a favorite sandwich. It can even be used for browning the tops of individual meringue tarts. Standing 13 inches high by 9 inches wide by 8-1/2 inches deep (including the handles), it obviously doesn't require too much counter space. It lets you select the specific elements--there are three: bottom, middle, and top--needed for a particular task. The oven also comes with a 15-minute safety auto shut-off, which is helpful for the busy and easily distracted teenager who maybe preparing their own after school snack. As a precaution, the oven should always be unplugged from the power source when it's not in use or when it's being cleaned. --Teresa Simanton
Product Description
The oven selector allows you to use just the top rack, just the bottom rack, or both. It even has a Bagel Best option which activates just the middle heating element - and that means your cut side gets toasted while the exterior gets warm. With all these options you can bake, toast, and reheat or warm foods. The time also has a Bagel Best option, as well as timing for up to 15 minutes. Unlike toasters this unit can accommodate really thick breads and pastries, yet its small footprint won't take up more space than a toaster.

Saves space but uses are limited, and it toasts too slowly.,
By
This review is from: Sanyo SK-7W Space Saving Toaster Oven, White (Kitchen)
I've had this model for nearly two years now. It takes nearly twice as long to toast bread as a normal toaster, because it has energy saving quartz elements, which don't heat up as quickly. Since there is no temperature control, there is only one setting - really hot. This could ruin your day if you just want to reheat something through, so here's a piece of advice: for things like frozen pies, pizza and reheating rolls, put them on the top shelf and turn the heating element knob to Bottom Rack. That way you don't char the surface while the interior stays cold. The 'Bagel Best' setting is great for people who, like Sting, like their toast (or bagels) done on one side. It's a nifty feature, but the bottom line is that this toaster oven is limited to toasting and heating only certain kinds of foods. I would recommend it for people who want just a very basic toaster oven. I want more versatility in a toaster oven these days, so I am shopping for a new one.

Don't expect 4 slices,

This review is from: Sanyo SK-7W Space Saving Toaster Oven, White (Kitchen)
I bought this toaster oven with the intent of toasting four slices of bread. It won't happen. It is very good at melting cheese on thick sandwich halves though, as long as the bread slices are not too long, like on a round sourdough loaf, or an Italian bread pizza. But hey, it can't do everything. It is hard to clean the interior because the racks cannot be removed the whole way for cleaning. They do slide in and out with the door opening/closing, which make it nice to retreive your bread without burning hands on the elements inside. It doesn't take up much counter space which is good, however note the height because if you intend to put it under a low cabinet there may be a problem. The outside gets very hot. The unit doesn't have to be slid back and forth across the counter like most toasters either. The pull open front glass door makes it easy to see what's going on in there. It should also have a control that allow just the middle and bottom elements for toasting just one slice. All three elements seem like too much for one slice. You can use just the middle element for bagels, just the top or just the bottom elements, or all three. All in all I like it for what is intended. If it was 1 inch wider it would accomodate 4 slices of bread, and then it would be perfect.

Good at what it does,

This review is from: Sanyo SK-7W Space Saving Toaster Oven, White (Kitchen)
You won't be turning out layer cakes or creme puffs from this little appliance, but it's very good for toasting the business sides of a cut bagel or a couple of pieces of garlic bread. Team up with a microwave for interior cooking and use this toaster for browning, and you can save time on a lot of different dishes. Unfortunately, the space constraints of this model limit you to rather small scale executions. Cleanup is no better and no worse than any other toaster oven, with the exception of the sealed quartz elements which are much easier to wipe clean than the usual exposed tungsten elements. Considering its low price and its small footprint on the counter, this toaster oven makes a versatile and economical contribution to a small apartment kitchen or a second kitchen used for entertaining.
