Product Description
From Sanyo, this is the Super Toasty oven, a two-tiered oven that takes up minimal space yet offers enough room for toasting bagels, hamburger buns or open-faced sandwiches. The Super Toasty toaster lets you brown bagels perfectly every time: placed cut-side down, the bagels' thicker tops warm from the top while the cut sides crisp and brown more deeply. Use the top rack for melting cheese on open-faced sandwiches or broiling the tops of mini pizzas. Use the bottom rack for reheating or keeping food warm. For timing your foods, the Super Toasty oven comes with a 15-minute bell and an auto shutoff. For easy access, the racks with metal trays slide out when the door is opened. The Sanyo toaster oven comes with a removable crumb tray and a cord storage holder.

Amazon.com Review
With the high expense of electricity, it can be costly to turn on a full-size oven for quick toasting and browning tasks. This toaster oven is a simple answer to keep electrical costs down. Use it for toasting bagels that don't always fit in a conventional toaster, or for melting cheese over a favorite sandwich. It can even be used for browning the tops of individual meringue tarts. Standing 13 inches high by 9 inches wide by 8-1/2 inches deep (including the handles), it obviously doesn't require too much counter space. It lets you select the specific elements--there are three: bottom, middle, and top--needed for a particular task. The oven also comes with a 15-minute safety auto shut-off, which is helpful for the busy and easily distracted teenager who maybe preparing their own after school snack. As a precaution, the oven should always be unplugged from the power source when it's not in use or when it's being cleaned. --Teresa Simanton

3 out of 5 stars The low-down   August 16, 2008

We don't have a lot of counter space and we used our old toaster oven mainly for toast. So when replacing it I considered getting a regular toaster. Still, it's nice to be able to reheat pizza or fix fish sticks in a handy little toaster oven. Then I saw this one -- it has a small footprint! It gets great reviews! Can 42 people be wrong? So I got it, and I was keen to like it too. But here's the low-down -- my list of pros and cons, when compared to a regular toaster oven or toaster.

Pros:
-- It has a smaller footprint than a regular toaster oven.

Cons as a toaster:
-- It takes 5 full minutes to toast bread.
-- No cancel button. The only way to stop the oven when the timer dial is still running is to unplug it, and annoyingly, the timer will keep ticking. (Opening the door doesn't stop it.)
-- You cannot figure out a toast darkness setting once and for all -- your preferred setting for your usual type of bread -- and then just start it. The timer dial does show darkness settings, but they're not too precise. So I end up having to watch the bread. (But yes, the toast comes out perfectly fine. I did give it 3 stars.)

Cons as a toaster oven:
-- You cannot set the temperature.
-- The timer dial maxes out at 15 minutes and turning that dial is the only way to switch the oven on. So even for fish sticks that need 20 minutes, you have to go back and re-set it for 5 extra minutes. (As for baking a small loaf of banana bread...forget about it. Anyway, the loaf pan wouldn't fit. See next point.)
-- The shelves are too small to fit a large slice of pizza, you have to fiddle with the slice to fit it in.

So it's not really an oven at all, just a toaster into which you can put things horizontally. That's a useful feature, of course: you can make nice open faced sandwiches with melted cheese. But if you want to do more than that, this oven will annoy you. Stick to a regular toaster oven, and if counter space is an issue, just get one of the small ones.

I love this vertical shape that really saves space in my kitchen. It is small but powerful enough to work as toaster oven.

This toaster oven has plenty of rom and does just about everything in the way of toasting and/or baking. It is small enough to be stored away and yet takes up little counter space when in use. It can cook on one or two shelves and gives a ringing sound when it has completed its job. It is ideal for a kitcheen with little counter space and for use in the office. It has two shelves and two separate toasting/baking ranges. It even has a cooking timer that "rings" when its job is done.

SANYO SK7S-ST/TOASTER-OVEN/BAGEL/2STORYI owned this toaster for over ten years and it was beginning to look "old". I was delighted to find it was still being made and purchased this new one in chrome color rather than the white I had before. It's absolutely beautiful. I especially like the size and the fact that it stands vertically, taking up much less space on my too-small counter. It not only toasts bagels and regular bread, but it can't be beat for warming pizza with a crispy crust.

In looking for a space saving toaster oven in stores, it was impossible to locate something that was affordable. A quick search on Amazon yielded this little beauty, and I was quick to scoop it up since no outside store seems to carry it. I was impressed right out of the box. The size is amazingly compact, yet it packs a punch when heating up pizza, sandwiches, french fries, even chicken nuggets that the kids love. The fact that it does not have a heat control has not negatively affected performance, since the three toast settings of light, medium and dark are fine for the average bagel and then the longer times can be used for the items mentioned above. It takes a bit of getting used to in terms of the top and bottom heating rack, you have to remember to always use the top tray for toast if you want both sides toasty, and even still one side is always a bit less browned, but I am for the most part thrilled with this little appliance and highly recommend it for anyone looking to neaten up their kitchen counter tops, or for students in dorms, studio apartments, or offices. Very well worth the money. I hope it lasts a long time.
