This BURNEVERYTHINGOVEN was horrible, I purchased it a local retailer and promptly returned it for a full refund! It burned toast on the lowest setting and caught my tunovers on fire!!! Big disappointment. I do not recommend!

This is the worst toaster oven known to man. Who knew that it was so difficult to design a toaster oven that,unlike this one, can toast evenly, has a grill feature whose grill spacing won't permit food to fall through and catch fire, can ding when food is ready, etc., etc. Our last oven was so perfect (Krups) it made oven design look easy. So, this time I tried to save a few bucks. Wrong decision.

My wife was using the oven to make garlic toast.She was warming the oven when the whole glass front exploded all over the kitchen.Had she been in front of the oven she could have been badley injured.I am now trying to find out if Toaster will do anything about it'This is a very dongerus Kitchen Item and some thing should be done about it.A small child standing in front when it explodes would be badly cut by the glass when it flys out.

I bought this toaster oven last fall & last night I was preheating it to warm dinner and it blew!!! The door blew right off - broken glass, plastic & metal all over the floor! I'm just glad I wasn't standing any closer to it. I'd contact the maker if I still had my paperwork. Don't buy this hazard! And you'd think for that price it'd be decent, or at least not dangerous!

Unfortunately, I checked Amazon reviews AFTER the glass door on this oven exploded. I uploaded a photo to Amazon.com so that the public can see what happened. (Some glass landed on the floor too, which you can't see in the photo.) I created a website at www.selectsmart.com/explodingtoastmaster.html to alert readers to this danger, and to show my correspondence with Toastmaster, and to provide contact information. This product should have been recalled long ago. As you can see in my photo, my toast was done. I was about to turn to open the door. Hot glass would have exploded onto my hand (and the pieces were sharp, contrary to what people assume about broken tempered glass). My little boy could easily have raced over and said, "I'll check it for you mommy," and BOOM, he could have easily been blinded because the oven door was at his eye level. I have alerted Amazon.com to this danger, and I hope they will discontinue the product immediately and leave the reviews up to warn others of the danger with this and the related models that apparently have the same flaw.

I had one of these units and used it for about 4 months. I liked the removable liner feature and it worked OK. One day it just exploded - BOOM! The glass panel on the front broke sending glass all over my kitchen.
I contacted Toastmaster and they sent me another unit. To be fair they were very good about the whole thing but I did not want another one.
This unit should not be sold. DO NOY BUY!!!!

The Toastmaster is VERY dangerous! Please read over all the reviews! I honestly don't know how this thing is still for sale. It burns things so quickly that its easy to accidentally start a fire. The one I had didn't explode, but I only used it a few times! This appliance is dangerous and I do NOT recommend buying it at all! I destroyed mine, then threw it away. Do not buy this product!

If you haven't already seen the theme in the existing reviews, let me sum it up: The glass door on this appliance explodes when it reaches a few hundred degrees, sending super-heated shards of glass flying several feet across the room. Thank God my daughter wasn't standing at the counter watching her toast when ours blew up or she surely would have been injured. It's sad to think that a child will probably have to lose an eye before Toastmaster does the right thing and recalls this horrible product. Do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY IT!!!

Well, what more can I say about this lousy piece of junk that most others haven't already said? What amazes me is that Underwriters Laboratories even allowed their seal of approval on this thing! Why on earth a national recall was never issued remains a mystery. Mine too exploded, after only the SECOND USE! I could hear a faint cracking sound, but chalked it up to the metal expanding as it was heating up... Well, the sound got louder and louder until BANG! I happened to be standing near my stove, preparing the rest of my(now ruined)dinner, and it's a wonder I wasn't seriously injured by the flying glass and sharp fragments that flew in every direction. It's almost as if a bomb had gone off. I had gobs of food, glass particles, and the remains of what was once a toaster oven scattered all over my kitchen walls and floor. It took me nearly three hours to clean everything up, and I finally ended up calling out for Pizza.

NEVER AGAIN Toastmaster. What happened to the quality products you used to build? I think I'll stick with Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart or other well-known brands now. Oh sure, I called their customer service hotline, and they wanted me to (get this) REPACKAGE THE OVEN and send it back to them!!! I'm like, ya OK, whatever. I just threw everything away and purchased a nice Hamilton Beach toaster oven (model 31169) that has served me well for several months now. Stay well clear of this thing. It's obvious there's a serious design flaw somewhere. I'm currently in the process of seeking legal advice about this, and reading these other reviews makes me believe that there's enough grounds here to launch a class-action lawsuit against Toastmaster for knowingly selling a defective, dangerous product. Never again.

Don't buy this on a bet. Unlike others here, I didn't have trouble toasting things in this oven, and I didn't use it for much else except broiling cheese on the top of a sandwich. The other night, the toaster oven door popped, crackled and 'exploded' all over the kitchen. Nothing flew hard enough to hurt anything, and the glass seems to be thick enough to explode like saftey glass would. Not too many sharp points, just hundreds of chunks. Pretty surprising, until I read the rest of these reviews.
