There is nothing phenomenal about this toaster oven, but it works well. I have used my grandmother's old toaster oven for the past five years (it was probably about ten years old when I got rid of it). But it seems they don't make toaster ovens like they used to. After looking at a TON of amazon toaster oven products, and talking to a sales person at Sears, even the high-priced ones aren't up to par with the old ones we all grew up with.
That being said, this one does the job well. So far, I have made toast, bread rolls, taco shells, and reheated pizza. I have also used it to keep food warm from the oven when I need to put something else in there. It seems to cook things well, and evenly. My only cooking-related gripe is the same as other reviewers...the lowest toaster setting is still way too much. I like that it toasts quickly, but if you let the whole T1 setting runs it's course, your toast will burn.
It is a sturdy appliance, and I appreciate how small it is, so that it fits on my counter without feeling bulky, while still having capacity for four pieces of toast. It looks very nice...has a sleek finish to it. The functions are very easy to use, but I agree with other reviewers that the beeping sound when you push any button is annoying. I also, like others, have had trouble with the rack sliding in easily...it's too snug of a fit.
Overall, I would recommend this product. Just don't expect the toaster oven you remember your mom using. They don't make those anymore!
