Start fast (in 30 second increments) with the Jet Start system. Defrost hamburgers in two minutes instead of ten with the Defrost feature. Fast cooking with fantastic results.

Proctor Silex 31114 Extra-Large Toaster Oven/Broiler, White
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
DeLonghi XR640 Retro Toaster Oven
For the oven, a thermostat adjusts the temperature from the Keep Warm setting to 450 degrees F, and the toast function has a three-setting browning control with audible tone and automatic shutoff when toasting is complete. Housed in chrome with black and silver accents, the toaster oven contributes the retro styling cool of a '58 Chevy's bright bumper to the kitchen. It measures 16-1/2 inches wide (including stay-cool handles on the bottom), 8-3/4 inches high, and 14 inches deep (including a cord wrap in the rear and chrome handle for the glass door). The oven carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
Customer Review: Great oven
I highly recommend this oven to anyone who wants a high quality toaster oven. When guests actually comment that your TOASTER OVEN is "very cool" - you have to laugh and say, "yeah, I know!" Not only does this toaster have the best looking, sleak design, it works even better. It has a larger than normal cooking space and I frequently use it for baking and broiling dinners for 2 instead of turning on my oven. It is also very accurate in temperature and I never worry about things being over or under cooked. It also broils perfectly. Very easy to clean with a removable bottom stainless tray that catches everything. This is THE toaster oven. I have other Delonghi counter appliances and like them as well - can't beat the upscale look and performance of their products.
Customer Review: Top Of The Line

Bialetti Mini Pizza Stone w/Peel (Toaster Oven)
The pizza stone works good for use in a small toaster oven or any small oven. The peel is useless, as it's not much bigger than a large spoon.

Hamilton Beach 31173 6 Slice Toaster Oven/Broiler
Customer Review: Great little oven!
I have never owned a toaster oven but I am impressed by what they can do. It toasts better than my toaster. I have baked and toasted in it and so far everything has been great. The only thing I haven't tried yet is the broil option which I plan to try very soon. The color is great and very easy to clean. I am completely satisfied so far.
Customer Review: Great Color!
I wanted an appliance to match the others in my kitchen and this fit the bill perfectly. The red color matches my red Kitchen-Aid appliances, red RCA microwave, and red Hamilton Beach Eclectics coffee maker and toaster. It works very well. My only complaint is that it's difficult to see the settings on the knobs without bright light. So, in that sense, it is not particularly user friendly. I have to kind of "zoom" in close for anything more involved than toasting. It's easy to imagine screwing up. With each nob one must "align" things. I'm sure after it's used several more times I'll get used to it. I'm enjoying having a smaller appliance to cook, reheat and broil. Be wary that instructions will inform you to unplug after use and that it should not be operated under another appliance such as a microwave. Other than these, no complaints. Suits me just fine.

Oster 6292 Counterforms 1500-Watt 6-Slice Toaster Oven
Customer Review: So far, so great!
With shipping and handling, the final price I paid OrangeOnions for this great little toaster oven was $83.00. That said...
I ordered the unit on the evening of September 1st. The first model arrived somewhat damaged on September 4th. I contacted OrangeOnions on September 6th and they immediately shipped out another one. Great service from them. I look forward to dealing with them again.
Second one arrived on September 11th(thanks OrangeOnions). The only defect was that a lens for the indicator light had popped out. I found it and popped it back in. Nuff said.
Since then, the thing has worked great.
Pros:
* No problems with it yet.
* It heats up very quickly and cooks a little quicker than our big oven.
* It has good interior space - enough to hold a 9x7 Pyrex glass baking dish. It has the bow out in the back to allow it to accomodate the small frozen pizzas also.
* The digital interface is very simple and my wife has had no problems with it.
* It cooks on time and rings a bell when done.
* Shuts down automatically.
* Light stays on while cooking - making it easy to see the food without opening the door (could be considered a negative if you are concerned with energy consumption).
Cons:
* The unit is light (some may consider this a plus) and feels a little flimsy maybe, but I'm not giving it the bounce test. It does what it's supposed to do and does it at a good price.
* I dont use these things for toasting, so I cannot speak to how well it would toast. Probably not that well if it compares to most toaster ovens.
* The unit does get very hot on the outside - on top particularly - not a problem for me, but it may be for some. I tell my young son not to touch it because it gets hot. It is an oven. He has not burned himself yet.
* Not a con per se, but I don't use the convection oven component and I have not used a convection oven before. Therefore I dont offer an opinion on the effectiveness of the convection oven feature.
It took us a while to get in the habit of using this oven instead of the big oven. Now that we use this one almost exclusively, I am waiting curiously to see what impact this will have on our electric bill.....
Regards,
Dan
Customer Review: Good Oven, Bad Controls
This oven does a good job cooking food. It has a fan which allows it to be used as a convection oven and cook the food faster. There is a pan that is easy to clean.
The controls are awful. The labels for the controls are beneath them, leading you to push the wrong buttons. The up and down buttons should be swapped. I'm not sure who designed this, but it's a pain to use. You need to scroll down to the oven selection you want (making sure to push the right buttons), then change the settings for that selection (again making sure to push the right buttons), then you can cook. What would have been nice (and they do this with their toaster) is to have a button for bake, a button for broil, a button for convection bake, a button for toast, etc. Then have buttons or a dial to change temp, time, etc. This has to be one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen while their toaster has one of the best. What's up Oster?
