50 customers mention26 positive24 negative

Customers are mixed about the heating of the countertop oven. Some mention that the convection makes sure food is hot, while others say that it doesn't heat up. The bottom heaters take much longer to heat up than the top, and the gauge is poorly calibrated.

22 customers mention7 positive15 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the countertop oven. Some mention that it has a fabulous price, surprising good features, and great quality for the value. However, others say that six months of use for $100 is a terrible investment, a waste of money, and a bad product.

"...Sounds great, but execution is very, very poor...." Read more

Nice But Misses the Mark

Nice But Misses the Mark
I bought this toaster to replace the ancient one I've owned since college. The design of this toaster is very sharp and what I expected from KitchenAid.First night I used it I noticed how crooked the door lined up with the body of the oven (pictured). The door also sits 1/8" from the body and creates a gap (pictured). Can also see the control panel itself isn't flush and has some finishing work left to be done (pictured).Other than a nice design and shoddy construction it does take a long time to toast anything. If this toaster wasn't so good looking I'd probably keep using my old one.
Thank you for your feedback
