In addition, there is a precise temperature control, defrost function, and a digital clock. Its nonstick interior surface is easy to clean.

Content: This oven in unbelievable! We cook everything in it. We replaced a toaster oven we had for 15 years and wish we had made the transition earlier. This oven is very user friendly and the settings are very easy to set/use. This oven cooks faster than the typical toaster oven...so be sure to monitor your food until you get used to cooking with it. The only negative comment I have is the door would not close after a week. I sent it back (on their dime) and it was a month before I got it back. We got used to using so much, we were lost without it.
Summary: You will be amazed!

Content: while the toaster oven is wonderful when it works, the TOAST and START/STOP buttons are KNOWN by Krups to fail early in the life of the unit. Usually it's just after the warranty, so don't expect them to do anything about it. For awhile you can fiddle with the switches and bring the unit back to life, but eventually it's a frustrating battle and you will have to replace it. They COULD have used higher quality parts. These two switches are used more than any others on the printed circuit panel, and they simply are not designed to continue to operate for more than about a year, at most two. DON'T BUY THIS UNIT.
Summary: flakey electronics leads to intermittent functions

Content: This is truly a great product. With the digital timer there is no guessing about time and temperature. The 1600 watt quartz heating system is beyond any small oven that I have used. I don't even have to preheat. It reaches the set temperature within a minute. The convection feature is also very nice by reducing your cooking time on many products.
I was disappointed with the size. If they had made it 2 inches longer it would have been large enough for a 9 x 13 baking dish, the most common size.
There is one more issue that was disappointing. The baking pan is covered with a non-stick coating that scratches even from the food. It needs to be improved upon.
Summary: This is the best toaster oven on the market today.

Content: Love, Love, Love this product!!!! It cooks evenly and acts just like a full size oven. The oven is roomy....the door is heavy weight and closes snug...unlike other models I have had. I would recommend this toaster oven to empty nesters, singles, even for families who need an extra oven at times. It's great!

Content: We purchased this toaster on 9/19/08. The first time we used the unit, we burned the toast because the following occurred. After the countdown started (usually with about 30 seconds remaining), the digital screen no longer showed time of the countdown and was replaced by squiggly lines. The toaster continued toasting and there was no way to regain control of the toaster, i.e., pushing "STOP" did nothing. After about 2 minutes the countdown resumed with 16 seconds on the screen. When it reached zero, the unit beeped five times. Needles to say the toast was burned by then. In order to get unburned toast, one must watch the toast constantly. The unit continued to operate in this manner.
We called customer service. They asked that we send the toaster in at our expense ($18.36). It will take 4-6 weeks to be returned. In the meantime, we purchased an inexpensive toaster($21.54) until this unit is returned. So far we have $39.90 invested in the repair of a new toaster oven. Quality control is not KRUPS strong point. I would never buy another KRUPS product. We purchased this toaster oven based on good reviews on this site. We got a lemon. In hindsight, we should have returned it to Amazon.
