 Nice oven - unfriendly controls August 12, 2008
Don Wagman (Herndon, VA)
We have owned this oven for about six months now. It gets 5 stars for cooking. In conventional mode the temperatures are even side to side and almost even front to back, with the front being about 15 degrees cooler than the back at a 400 degree setting. Convection mode evens out that small differential. Convection cooking requires some time to get accustomed to the differences. Food cooks faster and the surface dries out more. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not. Toasting works only fair. Dry bread browns quickly and gets quite dark. Very moist bread only gets warm unless you extend the toasting time or toast something twice.
We have baked with it and are happy. We have toasted with it and are merely satisfied.
The oven is noisy. While the convection fan makes little noise, the heating elements appear to change length every time they cycle on or off. The unit sits there making fairly loud creaking noises the entire time it is in use. Great for halloween, but not the rest of the year.
I opened the back and looked around. I could see no discernable sign of insulation. The top, sides and back get quite hot while the oven is in use. There are plenty of vent holes and slots which ventilate the case and prevent unsafe temperatures. Recommend that you do not let anything plastic sit nearby while the oven is in use - but - the oven makes a great plate warmer. The top is wide enough to set two 10 inch dinner plates side by side.
The oven is a bit difficult to clean inside. One must be very careful not to tear up your cleaning cloth, leaving bits behind and be careful not to cut your hands or fingers on the sharp edges.
All the members of our family give the user friendliness of the controls Zero points or stars. It seems to us that the controls were designed by a legal team who are very worried that the oven might actually get hot someday. In spite of reading the directions -- but not memorizing every exact step required to turn it on, we find that at least half the times we go to use the oven, we never actually turned it on. One has to program and press start on a microwave, apparently in a specific order. None of our other toaster ovens have ever worked like this. What ever happened to a dial for temp and a twist knob for time. These always seem to work. We will buy a cheaper and simpler oven next time.
We own many other Oster items and are usually very happy with them. The company seems to make items which work wekk and are durable. We are hoping this oven fails in some way or takes a lightening hit. This oven has turned us off from buying with this brand name ever again or at least for a long time.
If you like the controls, you will probably like the oven. If, like us, you don't, you will probably hate it.
 so far so good July 14, 2008

So far this has been great! It is easy to clean, and works better than all my previous ones. It is larger than the ones I have had before, and does take up a little more counter space, but well worth it to avoid turning on the oven in the summer. The digital key pad is easy to use. It does take a little longer than a regular toaster to make toast, but this one toasts even unlike my previous toaster ovens. I am very happy with this product, just waiting to see how well it stand up to the test of time..
Great oven for about 7 months.... June 20, 2008

We bought this oven at Costco after researching many toaster/convection ovens and liking the good reviews we had read. It was bought to replace its Cuisinart counterpart that started falling apart and never quite fit the 5 pound chickens I like to roast. Right out of the box, the convection fan never came on. I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong so I called the manufacturer. They immediately sent out a replacement at no cost and never even asked me to return the old one. I gave the old one away to someone who didn't care about the convection feature. The replacement worked great until the lower heating elements stopped working 7 months later. Here are the pros and cons during our experience:
PROS
1. Fast, even roasting of 5-6 pound chickens, which fit very easily in the oven.
2. Frozen waffles came out great.
3. Meatloaves and roasted vegetables cook quickly and evenly.
4. Easy to clean and we especially like the crumb tray that pulls out from the front.
5. Superfast, no-hassle exchange by manufacturer right after purchase. We haven't called them about the latest problem because we've decided to get something else, so we don't know if they would be equally responsive 7 months later.
6. Great price for the size and features.
CONS
1. Poor durability, at least with the ones we got.
2. Toast takes forever and the countdown feature of the toasting timer doesn't kick in until the final minute of toasting.
3. Toast usually comes out pretty dry all the way through, even when we use the supposed optimal rack position per the instructions.
4. No indication when oven is properly pre-heated, you just have to guess more or less.
5. Very large and takes up a lot of space on the counter (but hey, we did want something big enough to hold a fairly large chicken.
Bottom line, since we rarely make toast, and mainly bought it for it's roasting and convection features, we were very happy with it until the bottom heating elements died. But we don't plan to buy another one because we just don't trust their durability. If it had least at least one year I might've given it 3 stars, but since it barely lasted more than 6 months, I couldn't give it more than 2 stars.

After doing much research, we purchased this toaster oven at Walmart. We've spent the entire weekend cooking and baking with it and have been surprised and thrilled by it. It does not heat up your house, it heats up faster than the huge kitchen oven therefore using less electricity, and it cooks faster and at a lower temp than usually called for.
Important things to keep in mind if you are considering buying a toaster oven: 1) If you buy one, READ THE DIRECTIONS entirely - if you don't, do not complain because it didn't cook something perfectly. 2) After reading the directions, try out all the functions so you understand how to use them. And in my opinion these directions are just fine, btw. 3) For the first few times you use the oven, keep an eye on things! It's only common sense to do this so you get a feel for how the appliance operates differently from your old kitchen oven that you grew up with! and lastly 4) I highly recommend getting a toaster oven with the convection feature. It makes the heat cook more evenly, and though I have a microwave oven with a convection element that I've never used, I have used the one in my toaster oven and it works great.
I think that you get what you pay for; that's why we did not purchase the cheapest one at the store - they feel flimsy and have no insulation - so no wonder there are so many bad reviews. This one is SOLID and even at 450 degrees I could touch the outside - but to be safe I do pull mine 6" away from the wall when using it (like it says in THE DIRECTIONS)! I also liked the digital display - especially after reading all the reviews where the knobs broke on other brands!!!
I may never use my big kitchen oven again - except maybe for a big Thanksgiving turkey!
Went through two of these before I gave up... June 11, 2008

I purchased our first Oster Convection Toaster at Costco as a Christmas gift to myself. I was very happy with its performance, using it to toast or bake a few times a week. However, in May, only five months after purchasing it, I started to smell a terrible burning electrical smell when I turned it on. It got worse, and I kept thinking I should return it. After a week of the burning smell, it just stopped working completely. No display, no nothing. So, figuring it was just a fluke, I returned it to Costco and got another, identical one. I had that one two weeks when all of the sudden, an E-2 message showed up on the display. It wouldn't let me do anything - every time I tried to press any button, it just displayed E-2. I looked in the manual for some kind of a code, but couldn't find anything, so I returned it again to Costco. I figure I've learned my lesson and won't buy a third.
