Customers are delighted by the Livenza Convection Toaster/Pizza Oven for its user-friendly design, sleek appearance, and compact size. Many users appreciate how quickly it preheats, with one customer noting that it reaches 425 degrees Fahrenheit in just five minutes. While some customers have mentioned that it toasts bread unevenly, the overall positive feedback suggests that this product is well-received by consumers.
First, let me start by saying this is a good looking oven (check out the picture!). As you unpack it you get a sense for how sturdy and well made it is. The stainless steel finish is not only nice to look at, but also easy to keep clean! And considering its capacity (I’m looking at you double layer rack) and versatility it doesn’t take up very much counter space. I was so excited to get started that I forgot to do the pre-bake (when it burns off some chemicals) - I did notice a smell but it wasn’t so bad I couldn’t eat the food. One thing I didn’t love right away is the interface of the knobs, takes some getting used to and resets to original instead of retaining last used setting. Also I wish it would show you seconds countdown earlier then just 1 minute - not a must have but a convenience. Other qualities I loved: - it has a double glass door, which is thermally insulated, so it doesn’t get crazy hot to the touch - especially good quality for a countertop oven when you have little ones! Also when fully opened itallows unrestricted access to the entire oven's interior. - the oven has several function settings: toast, bake, convection, broil/grill, defrost, pizza, cookies, and keep warm. I tried several and was happy with the results of all - toasting, pizza making!, and I even made salmon on one later with asparagus on another and both turned out great! - super fast preheat (4-5 min to get to 459 degrees!) and ton of space (see above comment about using both racks for making a whole meal). - booklet contains idea which I’m excited to try as well as check out the app. Overall I’m pretty excited for this addition to the kitchen - I’m looking forward to using it in place of microwave as a healthier and better tasing reheating option and in place of my oven when making simple meals for my family - win, win! I received this product from the Stellar Review Program.

I love this Delonghi Livenza Convection Oven. I never knew what that meant exactly but after using this I couldn't be happier! I think I use this more then my oven. It's compact in size yet can hold a lot and has tons of different options and settings. It's also a really good looking machine. It's stainless steel and very well made. It has plenty cooking options including bake, broil, pizza, toast, convection, and more. I threw out my toaster now that I have this. It even fits a average size frozen pizza. It comes with a round pizza tray and a baking tray both super non stick. You can cook just about anything in this that you'd cook in a traditional oven. It did give a weird smell when I first started using it but its easy to clean and easy to use. You can set certain settings and the digital screen makes setting it easier. The question is what can't you do with this! I Definitely recommend having one of these. It reheats fried foods perfectly and can fit a lot. Cooking is much simpler with this convection oven.

I have had many toaster oven over the years and this is by far one of the best I have had. It pre-heats fast and has a very large cooking area. I have a gourmet convection oven in my kitchen and it takes a long time to pre-heat so since getting this De'Longhi, I have stopped using my range oven and use the De'Longhi for everything. It's been great for the kids' time crunch afterschool snacks and morning breakfasts. I've been using it to heat up my lunch in under five minutes. So far I've made pumpkin bread, whole pizzas, roasted vegetables, broiled lamb and beef, and chocolate chip and sugar cookies, in addition to breakfast (waffles, toast, pancakes) and lunch (heated up leftovers, toasted sandwiches). Everything has turned out great and the timer/auto shut off function has worked great - my husband and I haven't burned anything yet. I have not gotten distracted with emails or phone calls while my lunch heats up because it pre-heats and bakes/toasts so fast. The oven also beeps loudly so it gets my attention when my food is ready. I look forward to baking/roasting a whole chicken, baking pies for the holidays, baked fries, and bacon (since it is so easy to clean). I can't wait for Thanksgiving because it will be great to making desserts and side dishes while the turkey is in the range oven. It will be great for heating up leftovers after Thanksgiving and Christmas Things I love: - Very spacious size oven - big enough for a whole pizza and has double racks and four different levels to choose, nice to be able to cook meals for the whole family all at once. - Super easy to use and operate - Beautiful, sleek, high end quality design that looks great on my countertop - High quality stainless steel knobs, door, and door handle that doesn't feel or look flimsy or plastic - Comes with many different size pans - Cooks evenly and efficiently - Heats up fast - Easy to clean drips and melted cheese - Many useful features for different recipe needs (toast, broil, convection, bake) - There is a time countdown and temperature reading on the LED display - Quiet Things I don't love: - It takes up a pretty big footprint on my countertop - The door is big when opened so I don't have enough counter space in front of the oven when the door is open to place a pan down without closing the oven door first - good and bad (good: there are two "legs" in the back so you know how far back you can push the oven back; bad: it makes the oven stick out a couple more inches - wish my pizza stone fit inside it I highly recommend this convection oven. It is a great value for the price and all that you can do with it. I am considering buying one for my office kitchen. I received this De'Longhi Livenza European Convection Oven through the Stellar Review Program and WeeSpring but this review is my own personal opinion.
