Does the job! Oct 24, 2007
By DH
Toasts and bakes well. I just toasted an english muffin and it came out fine. (didn't understand review about not toasting). Makes nice, crispy (not burnt) waffles. Oven gets hot fast (less pre-heat time). Compact size (I live in an apartment so that's important). I gave it only 4 stars because it's not too attractive. But, it works well!

 WHAT Toaster? Apr 15, 2006
By eileenfar
After shopping carefully online and off, I bought this item at JC Penney on March 25, 2006. Penney's stated regular price is $69.99, with a sale price of $49.99, the same price Amazon is currently charging.
It replaces a 10-year old Black & Decker, primarily because I read several reviews suggesting a dramatic drop in the quality of B&D small kitchen appliances and that Hamilton Beach was performing well. I also have several other Hamilton Beach small appliances and all of them function well at what they are designed to do. This seemed my best choice for a reasonably priced toaster oven, since I am not looking for a cheap convection oven, just an acceptable toaster large enough for baking a potato now and then or some other small item too large or the wrong shape for a slot-style toaster. In shopping I found no current toaster ovens with a lever to press for toasting - all now have some variation of twist dial for this purpose.
It is (so far) performing acceptably as an oven, though the top gets very hot. However, only the first few uses produced acceptable toast on even the darkest toast setting. Toast set at dark got lighter and lighter and now, only three weeks after purchase, it no longer toasts at all. It does not darken beyond the palest coloring and toasting a second time leaves the bread only drier, not at all darker.
The top elements do not seem to heat properly and do not reach the red color needed to toast bread ... or presumably to broil anything, though I haven't (and won't) use it as a broiler. As hot as the top gets from regular oven use, I am not confident it would be safe as a broiler, even if the upper heating elements were working.
At three weeks post-purchase I have no toasting capability at all. I fully expect the rest of the oven to cease functioning soon and, regardless, it is of no practical use to me as a toaster, which is the small appliance I want and need. I am returning it to the store and starting the search for a toaster oven over again from scratch.

 Good Toaster Oven Jul 12, 2006
By Rochelle Auran
I just bought this item and it seems to work fine. The dial toaster function is different from a push button but is is just as handy, plus you can more easily set the toast time to your preference. Another handy feature of the timer is that it can be used as a TIMER ONLY. Just set the temperature to zero and use the timer for up to 30 minutes, a real bonus in a small kitchen with limited counter space.

Very Good Value Aug 28, 2007
By I. Hall
I am very happy with this toaster oven. It has a large interior as advertised, and is easy to operate. I think it's a very good value for the price.
