Toaster Reviews

After hassling for a while with my old toaster, never getting good toast, I purchased this toaster. Intially I got it because it was a good price and a classic design but I've been very happy with it's performance as well. The slots are wide enough to accomadate all manners of bread and BOTH sides get a nice even toasting. There aren't alot of fancy-dancy features which is just fine with me-I just want a good piece of toast! Plus the shiny chrome finish allows for some sparkle to your kitchen.

Save your money on this one. All it does is toast. It does not have any other temperature, not really very good at reheating. buy a regular toaster instead of this one.

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.

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.

It's been 3 weeks and nothing! The website tells me that the order has been processed and that it has yet to ship!

One would think that A.com could let you know if it is in stock or not! Hopefully, I can find my way through this byzantine mess of a website to be able to contact a living person rather than some useless FAQ page....

We bought this toaster oven from Amazon about 6 months ago. We were looking for something that could handle more than a standard toaster but not as complex as a lot of the other toaster ovens (which could practically replace your full sized oven). This space saving design looked ideal. My initial disappointment came when I realized that there wasn't any temperature setting, just settings to specify how many of the heating elements you want used. Granted, this was probably somewhere in the description and I just failed to absorb that, but it just seems that a toaster oven should have more precise temperature settings. Nonetheless, if you work with it you can sort out how long to cook small items (e.g. french fries) and it does toast very well. But, I have to give it a low rating because the elements only intermittently turn on after only 6 months of low level use. Spend your money more wisely on a traditionally, high rated brand rather than this model which was a great concept that just does not perform.

Innovative out of the box design...good quality (so far), this new generation toaster oven exceeds my expectations. This "Super Toasty - Bagel Best" does indeed toast bagels excellently as well as bread, etc.

Design saves counter space and offers more flexibility in heating things up. Only drawback: no temperature control. Heating is done by timer so you go by the timer times in the guide and go with that. Also you have a lot of glass so if you see something getting too brown you can quickly turn it off.

Contrary to other reviews, I think it toasts just fine, thank you.

Standard toaster worked well on bread, bagels, etc. Nothing fancy, but dependable. Today it just up and died.RIP

This microwave/oven/toaster is great if you want to heat water for tea.

Otherwise, it takes about 13 minutes to adequately toast a single bagel.

The oven has 4 temperature settings ranging up to 400 degrees. If you want to bake at 425 degrees you are out of luck.

It looks pretty and the 3-in-one idea is great, but this unit is one to avoid.

The turntable platter is only supported by a center spoke. There are no supports around the edge of the revolving platter. The platter tips and wobbles with all but the lightest items. I was cooking a large bowl of vegetables and when I tried to remove them, the turntable platter and the bowl of hot veggies tipped towards me, the platter itself slid forward out of the microwave, and I got burnt. For this reason alone it is a dangerous item. Also, the dial knob feels like its make out of cheap plastic and could break off without much force. The turning motion of the knob is rough. Spend more and get a better unit - that's my opinion. It's going back to Wal Mart.

I've had this item for about a month and I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't had the tray tipping problem that another reviewer mentioned but I don't use it for cooking anything large or intricate. I use the microwave mainly for thawing and reheating and it works like a charm. The toaster takes a little bit longer than a stand alone toaster but it toasts evenly and if you're not in a hurry, it's not a problem.
The top of the unit gets hot and a fan blows warm air from the back when the toaster is on I wouldn't put it in a tight space.
