 | Hamilton Beach 22708 Toastation Toaster - Black & chrome | |
 | "One of the worst appliances I have owned" | 2008-02-18 |
| We've had this toaster oven for about a year. It will be replaced in the next couple of days as frustration finally overcame apathy. Frustration to the point of scheduling quality time with my 10-lb sledge hammer.
I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said before but in summary (from most serious to least serious but still irritating): 1) Heating quite uneven such that some areas will blacken within an inch of areas barely warmed. 2) Certain items will get folded up in toaster mechanism. Sometimes you can shake them loose into the oven pan; other times require extraction in pieces. 3) Crumbs and other drippings tend to land in places that will carbonize quickly hence this appliance ends up smoking more than others I have used over the years. 4) Toaster spring release set so tight that popping toast prematurely will shoot it clear out of the toaster ala sitcom-style. 5) The oven pan doesn't fit all that well in the oven. It doesn't slide out nicely when the door is opened. I can honestly say this is the worst toaster oven I have even had the opportunity to use on a regular basis. That it took us this long to replace it is a testament to our tolerance (or laziness). | ||
