Customer Reviews
Lasted less than 4 months
My parents got me this cute little toaster oven last Christmas. I am redesigning my kithcen in a retro look and this one, in red, fit beautifully. Unfortunately, after only a few months the switch that changes the function from pop-up toaster to oven stopped working. The little door on top would close but the heat wouldn't turn on. Hubby tried fixing it but he couldn't get the body open enough to even see the switch, never mind attempt a fix.
This thing was a huge disappointment.
Not a Good Toaster; Not a Good Oven; Don't Buy This
This product is neither a decent toaster nor a decent oven. I bought because I never liked how regular toaster ovens toasted bread slices. The toaster on this product can't fit two slices of regular packaged bread. English muffins fall through into the oven section. The oven part is very shallow and things burn easily. There is no timer on the oven so you have to stand by and watch. The only positive is that it is compact and nice looking on the counter. But don't waste your money on this.
Overly complex junk
This toaster oven has a rather clever gimmick, i.e., that you can have a pop-up toaster and oven in one appliance. Unfortunately, the control which switches the appliance to oven mode broke almost immediately upon receipt, so much for Hamilton Beach quality! Unfortunately, also, the side lever which operates the toaster cannot be released once it is pushed down! It is locked down until the thermostat releases it. Fortunately, there is a work-around to this problem, namely, turning the darkness setting for the toast to its lowest setting. Still, why lock the lever? Bad design.
Bottom line, buy a conventional toaster oven and save your money. This is a gimmick not worth buying.
