4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Toaster/Oven, August 14, 2005

By	Alex J. Williams (Bklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You really can go wrong with this item - it's very affordable and designed decently for it's price range. The only issues I have with it are:

1. Once the rotary timer is set, you can't stop it - however, you could simply set heat = 0 and wait for the timer to end.

2. The food tray is apparently "wrapped" around another thin metal layer, which is a potential bacteria trap, since it's nearly impossible to clean without damaging the tray...so don't go naked...just use aluminum foil around the tray.

Would recommend for studio apartments / college students and would buy again.

Owned for 3 weeks at the time of this writing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy, February 18, 2006

By	Bargain hunter "Appliance buyer" (Rockville, MD) - See all my reviews

Not fancy. But it does the basic jobs well. Minor concern - better at baking than toasting. Toasting takes a little too long and is not totally uniform. But for the price this machine can't be beat.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'll never go "cheap" again..., January 18, 2008

By	Dave E "Dave" (Minneapolis) - See all my reviews

I bought this item on one of the promotions before the holidays. The toaster ovens featured ranged from this price ($35) to the $80 - $200(!) range. I thought, "I'll never pay that much for a simple toaster oven" but in retrospect maybe I should have.

While nice and spacious, this unit is rather clumsy, and not really well designed compared to others we've owned.

- most others I've seen are designed such that opening the door pulls the tray out a bit so you can access the food easier - not here. That's a burn hazard or you have to pull the tray out manually with something.

- the controls aren't extremely intuitive, as, for instance, the timer clicks even when there's no heat turned on. I liked that the unit boasted a timer but it's a mechanical one and therefore you constantly hear this loud 'click' during the entire time. Making toast shouldn't make me anxious...

- the flat crumb tray seems like a good idea at first (as opposed to the "trap door" approach of other models), but the tray doesn't catch all the crumbs since it isn't snug to the sides (or even close), so there's still a need to clean out the bottom of the unit somehow (and since there's no trap door, it's not as easy as other units).

- and possibly the worst part - it takes way too long and doesn't ever really seem to toast well.

I feel like it's wasted money as we'll eventually buy something else. I guess I underestimated how expensive it must be to produce a decent toaster oven.
