Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My shocking recent discoveries about the safety of microwaves prompted me to search for something that wouldn't change the DNA structure of the food I eat. A little convection oven seemed to be the `it' amongst the `microwave haters' so I landed on that option. Furthermore, I found out there are gazillion little ovens and most coated with non-stick coatings that leaks toxic fumes into food and as research shows, kills birds. Why would I want to eliminate microwave for something just as toxic? So I began my search for a coating free convection oven. There are none! I gathered a list of every company that makes these ovens and called each one. None...besides Waring. All of Waring's ovens have no coatings. Why I chose this particular oven out of all of their ovens? Here is why: The looks: It is stainless steel with a very modern twist to it. It is an upgrade of the previous model TCO600 they made which is known to be very durable from the reviews! Reviews: I compared all of the reviews and called the company verifying the information I read. The company was very honest and even admitted issues with some of their more expensive ovens. Majority of my conclusions to choose this model came from the reviews of the previous model because there weren't any reviews available for the TCO650. The reviews regarding the older model were very consistent and generally with no issues. You will always find few products with problems or customers who are blaming the product catching on fire when putting paper in it but you have to look for the same issues on a product that occurred over 30 times, in my opinion, to make proper judgment. For example: based on the 30 reviews I read, I concluded Waring's CO900B and CO1500B models have problems with the door staying closed. When I called to verify the company honestly admitted there is a flaw in their design and they are working on a new design! Customer service: One of the best. I called 10 times. Each time I didn't have to wait long and team members were very helpful and HONEST. They gained my trust. I know that if anything happened to this product in the years down the road Waring would stand behind their products. Quality and more: I love the durability of Waring's products. So far, I have had this oven for 4 months and not one problem! It works great and heats up to the temperature on the digital clock. The oven cooks FAST so be very careful not to burn your food. I have cooked chicken in it, baked, toasted, heat up food. I use it at least 3 times a day. The maximum clock set up is 2 hours. So if a dish needs to be cooked for more than 2 hours that can be a little inconvenient to have to come back and restart the clock. The `beep' sound when the oven is ready to use and when the food is done is very loud and can probably wake up a dead person. BUT, it doesn't bother me at all because I always forget about me heating up food in it, etc. It is an oven, so it does get hot on the outside. Please wear gloves! It comes with 2 racks and a crumb tray that pulls out from the front. All trays and racks should be hand washed only! It has plenty of room inside for everyday use. The oven itself cooks awesome and evenly. The food is always juicy and well done on the inside yet has a very nice crunchy skin on the outside, depending on the temperature you set the oven to (I'm thinking about my coconut wings here hmmmmm). The makeup of the Waring oven seem very durable and simple and comes with a 5 year warranty. You don't even need to read instructions to figure out how it works. I am not a technology savvy person so this works perfect for me! The oven does require 6 inch space from the wall when stands on the counter for the fan and air to work properly. Price: The price is unbeatable considering how much I use this oven and the fact that it is green!! I bought it under $90 on Amazon. In addition: This is the key features Waring lists on their site: * 6 cubic foot capacity * Bake, Convection Bake, Broil and Toast functions * 1500 watts of power * Holds 6 slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza (yes, IT DOES hold 6 breads) * Includes oven rack, baking pan and crumb tray * Digital 60-minute timer with LCD display * Touchpad controls * Limited Five Year Motor Warranty To summarize, if you are looking for a multitasking, durable, non toxic, simple oven, this is it! If you are looking for something that is a step below from having a full conversation with you if your chicken is done or not and has a million and one options, this is not it. Hope this was helpful!
