Title: A Classic, No Frills Toaster Oven
Review: I threw out my big boxy air fryer for this smaller toaster oven. The air fryer was IMPOSSIBLE to clean and it filled my kitchen with smoke. Ugh! I like this appliance because I really don’t need to air fry anything. I just use it for simple toasting and baking … and this toaster oven is EASY to CLEAN. One thing: the name is kind of ridiculous as it is NOT a “pizza maker”. It will only heat up ready-made pizza…but not ‘make’ or properly ‘bake’ it from raw.

Title: You (almost) get what you pay for
Review: I bought this toaster oven in October 2019 to replace a nice Cuisinart toaster oven whose bottom element had warped and eventually, literally, flamed out after three years of everyday use. My criteria for its replacement were pretty basic: cheap, easy to use and clean, fairly small, attractive and stainless steel exterior. This toaster oven seemed to check all those boxes so I purchased it, $48.99 at the time. It gets used daily, sometimes even twice a day.Pros: small footprint; easy to clean; adequately (though not very evenly) toasts bread, English muffins, bagels, hotdog and hamburger buns. Operation is straightforward.Cons: it is very easy to burn your food due to the fussy timer dial – NEVER step away to do something else while you wait for your food to toast. The included pan warps when heated – luckily I saved the one that came with my previous toaster oven. And frozen appetizers and mini-pizzas always seem to need 10 minutes or more than the cooking directions state on their packaging; after several disappointing tries I finally just stuck to toasting bread products.So after adjusting to this toaster oven’s shortcomings for nearly two years, today I was horrified to find the bottom front corner inside the door is rusting. My guess is the moisture that naturally evaporates and then runs down the glass during toasting has been condensing at this spot, leading to the rust. As you can see from my photos I have taken excellent care of this unit, so the rust is not from any abuse on my part.So there’s my two cents – adequate but not spectacular results. I’m glad I didn’t pay what is being asked for it now. And now my search begins for its replacement as rust on an electrical appliance makes me very nervous….

Title: ANGRY WHITE LADY REVIEW.
Review: I didn’t start out angry when we first got this toaster oven. In fact, we loved it and it instantly became one of our most loved kitchen tools. It made perfectly, reliably toasted bread and tortillas every day for the past 10 months. Then one day, foul, grey, plastic-smelling smoke started coming out of it. Just a little at first, then very quickly it became LOTS of nasty, stinky smoke.First I looked at possibly buying an Asurion plan, which would mean paying for two months (at least) of coverage @ $17/month, then waiting a whole month for coverage to kick in before even getting an agent to possibly reject our claim.That didn’t seem like a good option, so I read the fine print in the Hamilton Beach warranty. They REALLY cover their asses, so chances are slim they would do anything for us but we could send them the toaster, though they absolutely will not cover shipping which from California would be $40 one way.TL;DR WE PAID $70 FOR A TOASTER THAT IS GARBAGE AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR. If you read the lower ratings you’ll see that our story is not unique! This is a junk product that has a short lifespan so it’s basically a waste of materials, time, money and a safety hazard to boot!!!I could not be more unhappy about this. It should be pulled off the market. IT SHOULD’VE BEEN PULLED OFF THE MARKET YEARS AGO. I see they’ve dropped the price on it by $10 since I bought it so it’s obvious they know they’re selling GARBAGE.

Title: Works fine!
Review: I like its small size; it fits well on my small countertop. It works great (though I’ve only been using it for a couple of weeks). Only issues are, as some others have noted already, the black printed numbers on the temperature knob are hard to read (print is small, black on the silver metal frame), and the whole oven outsides get very hot when cooking, so be careful not to touch it or leave anything sitting on top of it that could burn.

Review: Excelente horno eléctrico con 2 resistencias de 12 litros (pequeño). Hasta ahora lo hemos usado para calentar bolillo y gratinar chayotes con queso (el bolillo se dora de más en las orillas superiores que son más delgaditas en opción de Pan Claro, o sea, tiene buena potencia).Estuve preguntando sobre medidas, ya que no vienen en el instructivo, pero no eran claras las contestaciones por aquí, así que les pongo en fotos las medidas, ya que es muy diferente las medidas del horno por fuera, a las medidas de los espacios que son realmente útiles.Pros: Excelente para espacios pequeños, bonito, se calienta rápido, se limpia fácil, es práctico, somos 3 en casa y nos es suficiente para lo que lo usamos (para cosas grandes usamos el horno de la estufa).Contras: El espacio de 11 cm entre ambas láminas de la resistencia se me hace muy chiquito, me hubiera gustado que fuera más grande, la charola es más pequeña que la rejilla, así que conservamos la anterior charola que teníamos y la usamos si ocupamos un poquito más de espacio, también notamos que se está manchando del acero inoxidable de la superficie de arriba (el otro horno que teníamos también le pasó) me imagino por el calor que emana, para que no les sorprenda, y por último el cable es corto, así que tienen que tener un enchufe cerca.En general, estamos contentos y hasta ahora funcionando de maravilla. Espero que les sirva las medidas, porque estaba con el nervio de que cupiera en el espacio del anterior horno y sí cupo, pero si hubiera tenido esta información, probablemente lo hubiera comprado un poquito más grande, porque es ligeramente más chico que el que tenía. Buen día! =)

Review: Sencillo, práctico, pequeño; pero potente, eficiente, y rendidor. No le pide nada a la competencia por el precio tan competitivo que tiene. Si quieres por fin salir del microondas y aventurarte en un horno tipo tostador para gratinar, tostar, hornear, o darle un acabado más tradicional y antojable a tu comida caliente, este será tu mejor aliado. Perfecto para cuidar la economía al mismo tiempo que disfrutas de toda la conveniencia de un horno convencional, en el espacio de un microondas.Las instrucciones son lo único que deja algo qué desear: son poco claras, y si en verdad quieres sacarle el 100%, harán falta varias pruebas para por fin entenderle, y ahora sí que te vayan saliendo las cosas exactamente como las quieres.Para inciar tu cocina, o para una pareja empezando a darse más opciones, no tiene falla. Para más de dos personas, habría que hablarlo muy bien, o de plano buscar una opción más grande, por que sí es pequeño (tal cual, apenas para cuatro rebanadas de pan). Puedes practicar tus recetas y dejar ricos muchos platos, pero necesitarás mucho tiempo libre si tu idea es sacar más de un plato a la vez.
