The Back to Basics is an excellent value, and is actually a very functional kitchen gadget that will get more use than your food processor! I am surprised it doesn't have an infomercial.
Some of the other reviewers wrote about the quality of the small appliance, which is in fact part plastic. That was our only concern in purchasing this toaster/breakfast sandwich maker. However; it does everything that it is supposed to do. And we enjoy using it one or two times each morning to make a to-go breakfast for our commutes.
The system properly cooks meat and eggs, ending with perfectly toasted bread. Cooking time is adjusted by the amount of water used. We find that the suggested guidelines work just fine. We have done a little experimenting with the meat in particular. It is great for sausage and Canadian Bacon.
How long will it last? I would say that a year or two is reasonable for the quality/price. I am not saying that it is cheaply made, just that it is not as heavy duty as some of the more expensive brands. When compared to getting a breakfast sandwich or two at about $3-$4 each, it paid for itself in about two weeks.
For the money, we find it to be an ingenious device, and a great value that makes getting out the door easy and efficient.
