In my experience, you get what you pay for with these types of appliances. I was very hesitant about spending over $150 for a toaster oven when I bought a Compact Smart Oven. However, after 3 years of using it, I am glad that I bought that one instead of buying something cheap. In the past, I have bought cheaper ones Read more

I have a Hamilton Beach 31507R. It cooks everything you can cook in an oven (that fits) and makes the best toast of any toaster/toaster oven I’ve ever owned. I love it.

I can highly recommend the Victorinox’s Fibrox 8” chef’s knife. That is a good price for one. It is incredibly sharp and cuts like a dream. I’ve used mine off and on for about a year and I’ve only had to touch up the edge with the smooth honing steel to keep the edge true. I might touch up the edge in the near future Read more

I have had this Rosewill toaster oven for three years now, kind of skeptical about the low price but thought I would give it a shot and so glad I purchased this instead of the more expensive options out there. Does it all, toasts, bakes, etc. I’ve even cooked whole chickens in this thing and it’s done well with the Read more

I have an Oaster, “designed for life” toaster oven I bought for around $40.00. I’e only had it about 6 months and got it because I bought a house and needed some sort of oven while I was doing my kitchen. But’s it hard to tell how long it will last. Anyway it was quite a surprise how useful and easy to use it is/was.

This is the best Toaster oven on the market. My wife and I got one as a wedding gift, it gets more use than any electric gadget in our kitchen. Whenever couples ask us if there was anything awesome we got that they should register for, we tell them a Breville toaster oven. The ones that have agree, they wouldn’t want Read more

+1 ... we have the more basic non-“SmartOven” variety so my experience is pure toaster duties (waffles, heating frozen pizza, toasting bagels, etc.) and I can safely say there is not a toaster sold today that comes close. Read more
