Decent small toaster oven but it should be easier to make TOAST
Attractive smaller toaster oven. Glass and stainless steel on front, black top and sides. Seems to heat up fine. So far, I've only used it for toast. Unfortunately, most small toaster ovens these days, including this one, have forgotten that they are TOASTER ovens. The main function of a toaster? Set the browning level ONCE, then push your toast down for consistent toasting every day. My old Toastmaster toaster oven had that feature: set the level, then push down a small lever; when the lever popped up, toast was done. On this oven, you have to set the time you want it to toast, every time. You need to first turn the dial past five minutes, then twist it back to light, medium, or dark, or somewhere in between. It's difficult to position the knob in small increments, so the level is inconsistent, plus the smooth knob is difficult to turn backwards, pretty much impossible with wet fingers. I may wrap the knob in medical tape to make it easier to grip. By the way, although the description says "Replacement period is UNLIMITED!", that apparently refers to an onion chopper, not this product. According to the manual, the warranty is two years. Overall this will probably be fine as a small oven and even, with some care, for toasting. Just want to remind the designers that a TOASTER oven should make toasting easier.
