GOOD QUALITY & FEATURES FOR A GREAT PRICE! SOME TEMPS AREN'T ACCURATE THOUGH...
I've had this little convection oven for about ten days now, and for the 49 dollar price point that I purchased it at, it was a steal. In terms of toasting, it does well as long as you follow the directions in the manual (for 2 slices) and place the toast in the middle of the rack and place the rack in the middle position. It doesn't take up a lot of space on your counter, while still being large enough to fit a 12 inch pizza or a 12 X 9 in. pan. I purchased it so I would be able to cook real dishes in it (ex. chicken/steak), and it is not exactly perfect temp wise, but it's close enough for me. I decided to test the temperature dial against my digital maverick thermometer and my basic oven thermometer. Both of my thermometers were in sync. Here are the results:
Convection/Bottom Rack
1. 450 = locks in at 475-478 degrees (I actually like that it's 25 degrees hotter here, a lot of toaster ovens don't reach their max temps (too hot can be regulated, not hot enough is...
Nicest Toaster Oven Yet
Arrived in 2 days with Prime. Packaging in perfect shape. Stainless steel and full glass door look great on my counter. Fit and finish was fine. Put in an oven thermometer and found all the marked temperatures to be spot-on. The convection setting really speeds up the cook time and browns and crisps nicely. Timer bell was loud enough to hear from the living-room. It's the nicest budget priced toaster we've had yet. Have no problem reading and setting dials and the raised indicator has a nice feel and contrast. People need to look to the front of the dial and forget about the black ring that has ridges to help turn the dial. You set with the front indicator - NOT the turning ridges! We're in our late 60's and do not find the need to paint the raised indicator at all!
Highly recommend.
Best toaster oven!
This oven is great. It heats foods very quickly and thoroughly, and when using convection works even faster! I love how it looks and the fact that it has a bumpout in the back to accomodate a pizza that is not visible from looking at it (other than behind) is a great feature. You wouldn't know by looking at it that it would hold a 12" pizza! The crumb tray is easy to use and the knobs are easy to turn, allthough the bottom timer knob is a little tighter to turn. Nothing major though. it also doesn't give off too much heat, but does get hot to the touch of course cause it is an oven afterall. I would definatley recommend this toaster oven, it has cooked everything wonderfully so far, toasts breads great and cooks everything I've made pretty evenly and quickly. Very happy with my purchase!
