Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

***** 8/2/2018 Update - I have not had any problems with this toaster oven and my family and I have used it daily for the past year. I gladly stand by my review and would/will buy another one in a heartbeat. ***** There are tons of reviews on this thing already so I will get straight to the point by answering the questions that still lingered in my brain when considering this toaster oven after reading all of the reviews. Does it fit a 9x13 casserole dish with handles? Heck yeah…and then some. We are cooking dishes in our toaster oven that feed a family of 5. We have owned this for a week now and have not turned on our full size oven yet. Seriously. We may miss a full oven around the holidays, but 363 days a year we will probably wonder why we have a full oven taking up so much space. We have joked about getting another one for when we need “double ovens”. At $50….why not? Is it worth the money and if so, why is it so cheap? Yes, it is worth the money. If you have experienced the build quality of say a Breville toaster oven, you will know why it is $50 instead of $300. Does it still look nice and feel like it will last for years? Absolutely. Can it make toast, and if so, is it as slow as everyone says? Yes, it makes beautiful toast. Is it slow? I haven’t drag raced it against my toaster-toaster yet, probably should, but it doesn’t feel slower. Couple that with the fact that I can make 8 pieces of toast at once for my growing family…I would say that it is much, much faster overall. Does it get as hot on the outside as others say? Oh, heck yeah. There are warnings all over the place and they aren’t kidding. I clocked the top at 160F when heated to 450F inside. Remember though, you are cooking a full 9x13 pan of lasagna in this thing so just give it a little room to work. It preheats faster and runs cooler than your full oven, it’s just not as well insulated at $50. Is it noisy? My kids can be noisy. My lawnmower is noisy. This thing is just circulating warm air…making me dinner. If this is noisy, you are spending too much time alone. Is there only 1 rack? Yes. Why? Because if you have 2 racks, people will put toast on both racks and then the bottoms of the top rack and the tops of the bottom rack will not get toasted, and they will complain. A lot of people are placing the crumb tray in the wrong spot (which is very, very easy to do) then complaining that it doesn’t bake/toast properly. This is why there is 1 rack. In summary, this thing is worth every penny, and in fact, once you buy it and use it with your adult size dishes, you will probably wonder why they aren’t charging more for it.
