 "Love my new toaster oven!" | |
| - Reviewed By An Amazon User from NJ USA |
| My last toaster oven was a small black@Decker which I hated! and my Husband hated!!, so we were a bit shy about the whole convection/toaster oven thing. Amazon had a great price on this Oster convection/toaster oven so I went for it! So happy with my it I use it all the time. Just like using all new appliances it took a few times getting used to the settings. But making anything from a frozen meal to toast to the perfect openfaced sandwich is a breezzzzzzzz. the size is perfect infact it's no bigger then my 4 slice toaster it replaced. If you want a nice looking, easy to use, makes great food, convection/toaster oven go for it, it's worth the price! |

 "Too easily results in "User Error"" | |
| - Reviewed By An Amazon User from ma |
It may be a great, versatile toaster oven, but for just making toast it is not easy to use. There are three dials to set. Two can remain in a particular position if all you are making is toast (but check to make sure no one else change the settings). The third is a *timer* that one must turn past a certain point and then back to the time one wants. The dial rotates 360 deg. For toast, the timer must be turned somewhere between 0 deg and 15 deg on the dial, a very small arc. The dial is small. The lettering is small. After a year we are still burning toast even though we know how to use it. It may be "user error" (we are not sure), but if an appliance after a year still frequently results in frustrating errors, then there is some problem with the design.
In summary, if you primarily want a toaster oven for making toast, look elsewhere.

| A pretty decent toaster oven for the price. Doesn't have a light like the last one we owned, but we can live without. Nice to have the rack move in and out with the door. A good buy. |

| "Little workhorse" | |

| I bought my first Oster toaster oven after my kids left for college 6 years ago. I needed something for making toast, baked potatoes, and small casseroles. This oven turned out to be a work horse. We use it everyday and it is especially helpful during Thanksgiving as I roast veggies or heat up a tall casserole full of dressing. I really like that it came with two racks and that the bottom rack goes down far enough to accommodate a large round casserole dish with lid. So now I need to replace it. After years of great service the finish is wearing off and the handle fell off, which is why I gave it 4 stars. After looking at other models and reading thousands of reviews I ordered another Oster from Amazon. I could not find another oven for the money that was as versatile and attractive as this model. The highest rated Cuisinart has a smaller oven capacity and is, IMHO, unattractive. I like how the Oster looks on my countertop and I know that I'll be pleased with it. |

| "Plastic handle melts and falls off" | |

| I used this toaster oven for a few months and it worked well. One day I used it on the broil setting at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. The screws holding the plastic handle got so hot that they melted the handle which then fell off. Rather than sending this back in to end up in a landfill, I used two cabinet knobs and some high temperature silicone adhesive to fix the problem. This is a poor design. The handle should not be plastic. |
