DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
Let me first say that the DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M is pretty massive. So before you go out and buy this beauty, make sure you have ample kitchen space.
The specific model that I received is a thing of beauty as I mentioned above. The build quality and finish on it is fantastic. I love the stainless steel look. The construction feels and looks extremely durable. The nobs to select temperature, while cycling through the 7 different options and whatnot is also made really well. The nobs have very nice feedback/clicks when you’re cycling through the different options and temperatures. When they marketed this thing as a smaller version of your actual home oven (the one attached to your stove), they weren’t kidding. I really enjoyed the double glass door and the seal that was constructed around it. It literally feels like the same door on your home oven except smaller. The internal construction is also excellent as its well insulated to retain heat. The included pizza pan, wire rack, crumb tray and bake pan are also great quality.
The thing I would like to highlight most is the fact that the DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M is extremely quiet. There were honestly times where I thought that it wasn’t even working… I literally touched the top (CAUTION HOT!) and sides to make sure that there was actually heat. I love the fact that this oven is a convectional oven, the built in fan circulates the heat so that all your food cooks evenly. The auto shut off feature is also nice and it beeps pretty loud when your food is ready so that you know when to pull your goodies out. Another thing I’d like to mention is the built in light. It’s so wonderful having the ability to watch your food cook instead of being left in the “dark”.
I was able to utilize the oven to make some chicken tenderloins, chicken nuggets, french fries, and fried shrimp. I looked through the manual to get familiar with how to operate it before I started and I highly recommend doing this. After you cycle through the different options and temperature, the oven will automatically start preheating. Once it has completed its preheating cycle, it will beep to notify you so that you can put in your goodies. I have to say, the convection feature is really really good. It made everything perfectly! All my food was nice and crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside. Everything was also cooked evenly. The only thing I didn’t like too much were the french fries. But I mean…. This is why you purchase an air fryer no? I’m sure if you were to broil the french fries and move the pan to the indicated position, it would’ve probably came out more crispy. That’s right! DeLonghi made it simple by indicating where to place your rack and pan so you don’t mess up (depending on how you’re using the oven).
Are you tired of having soggy pizza from the microwave? Are you tired of waiting forever for your traditional oven to preheat and cook things? Are you tired of heating up your entire kitchen with your traditional oven during summer? How about clean up? How about even cooking? Let me just say… The DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M is going to be your go to oven. If the above questions are questions you ask yourself, go ahead and make the leap to purchase this beauty. You will not be disappointed.
In conclusion, the DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M delivers what it promises. Talk about even cooking, fast cooking, easy clean up, very well insulated, fancy looking, excellent build quality, and best of all… Perfect results every single time for the food that you’re cooking, If you’re like me and you enjoy being in the kitchen, the DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M is going to be an excellent addition to your other kitchen gadgets. All I am saying is this… I’m going to use this oven every single day! The only time I will use my traditional oven is when I have to cook a huge turkey or ham for a big party. Besides that? The DeLonghi Livenza EO241150M is going to be my go to daily kitchen gadget. Great job Delonghi!!!

FINALLY, a real toaster oven that is an oven too

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
For too many years, and too many times, I've had toaster ovens that were too small, got too hot, cooked food like a toaster, and were just a hot mess. Those days are over. This thing is amazing. It can toast, bake, bake with convection, defrost, etc. and do it really well.
I've made toast, cookies, pizza, and defrosted the dog's food in this, all tonight. Not a single concern. It stays cool compared to most toaster ovens. The back gets hot and there is a vent on the top right side, but the rest of it is like your home oven. This is a first and much appreciated.
You will notice knobs and push buttons in center of those knobs. I love this. But I also get a digital display readout, coupled with the knobs and buttons within, something that is a rarity. You either get knobs and no display, or a display with push buttons.
You'll see a real oven type seal, which helps to keep the heat in the oven, not leaking out in between the gaps in the door. The door glass is really nice oven grade glass, not toaster oven typical quality.
There are many settings, like from between 2 and 6 slices of toast. Temperature, presets, timer, on/off, switch between modes, etc.
When you buy this, consider you are buying a small oven. It isn't a whimpy toaster oven, this is a small scale real oven. It works. And it works well. Take it from someone who gets something too small and is a joke as an oven, or spends more than I should for something that doesn't even have a seal around the glass door. Delonghi has taken care of these problems with this release. The large oven area will give you enough room for most frozen store bought pizzas. It won't handle a full size pizza from your local pizza shop, but that is not what it is for.
Please know that Best Buy has one of the best return policies and you can return this if you find it isn't what you need. The only reason it won't be what you need is that if you don't have a suitable place to put it. The box with everything (rack, tray, etc.) was 31lbs. So this is no little joke, this is a serious oven and works like an oven.
But it also makes a great slice of toast, and quickly too!

Build Quality
-------------
Once you unbox it, you need to run it for 30 minutes @450F to make sure any residual subtances have been burnt out before cooking. This thing is very well built (nice shiny stainless steel all around) and it complements any household with stainless steel appliances. It is big, so it will take some space on your countertop, it measure 12H × 17.5L × 19W. These days most folks are moving towards cooktop and not have a range. so this could be an ideal option, have a cooktop and have this as your oven. Mind you, this will not fit your turkey, so you may be out of luck during thanksgiving.
I do not have a large kitchen, so i keep it in my garage and bring it in whenever i want to use it.
Also i would like to mention that it comes with 4 groves on either side so you can slide vthe trays in a variety of configuration so that you can fit either multiple items or a large item inside
Cooking
-------
This oven has a variety of cooking options - toast, bake, convection, broil/grill, defrost, pizza, cookies, and keep warm. THis is selected using the bottom knob, the middle one is for temperature and the top one is for time.
Note that some of the settings come in as default, for example if you select cookies, it will ask you to select 1 tray or 2 tray and the temperature and timing defaults based on your selection
All of the information is displayed in a cool blue LCD screen on the top right.
My son loves Salmon. We used the grill option to grill the salmon in the oven and it came out perfectly, moist and well flavored and not dry. The cooking time was very fast. The fact that it has a light when cooking also helps.
We also tested the pizza option by testing out using home made dough and veggie toppings with cheese. the pizza was very even, edges were not hard as rock as it would have been in a regular oven.
It also helps to download the receipe
My son loves salmon, and just for one or couple of pieces of salmon we hate to heat the range and put it in. This one does a great and cooks evenly.
Will it last

Based on the build quality, it looks like it is a keeper and will run for a decade

I'm an avid electronics enthusiast. I didn't think it was possible to get excited about countertop oven toaster, let alone fall in love with it. But once, I set the DeLonghi Livenza Oven on my countertop, I was so smitten like a high school teen all over again. Look at the picture I posted, it's so shiny like my knight in shining armor. I am replacing our 10+ year old Black & Decker toaster oven.
Pros:
+ Easy to set up. I did have to look up how to set up the time, but that was it.
+ All buttons, functions are very intuitive to use, no need to read instructions.
+ Since it's digital, good bye annoying ticking toaster timer!!!
+ Spacious! I can bake casserole in it and it came out perfect!
+ Pre-Heat is fast
+ Includes pizza tray
+ Sturdy, well-built and just simply gorgeous!
Con:
I honestly can't find much thing to take points off. If I have to choose any, probably price point but then again for the features and built quality, it totally justifies it!

Excellent Toaster/Convection Oven

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I got this DeLonghi oven to replace an ageing Frigidaire professional convection oven we’ve had for a few years now.
The oven arrived very well packaged, the box came inside another box so there was no damage to the factory box at all. Inside the oven was cradled in a Styrofoam frame, the oven itself inside a big plastic bag and was in perfect shape. There’s a wire rack “just one”, broiler pan, a pizza pan, crumb tray a manual and some paperwork.
Checking the oven out I noticed it uses a three prong grounded cord which is a lot heavier than the two prong cord the Frigidaire has on it, it’s also shorter. I was able to get it plugged in where we needed it using a 90 degree 6” adapter that’s made for high wattage devices.
After removing all the packing materials and giving the inside a good wipe down with a wet rag I put the oven in the garage and ran a 30 minute 450F “max heat” cycle. It really stunk up the garage and I highly recommend you do this before using it inside the first time. After doing that initial heat there wasn’t any type of odor coming out of it. What really surprised me is when I set it for 450F and turned it on there was a message about the oven Pre-Heating. I decided to time this to see how long it would take to go from about 70F “room temp” to 450F, and was very impressed that it only took 4 minutes. I verified it was up to temp using a thermal imager.
One thing I noticed DeLonghi mentioning is that the oven has a double glass door to help keep the door glass cool. I figured this would be a great test to use the thermal imager on so I did a comparison between it and the Frigidaire, “thermal photos attached”. I was very impressed with what I found. The glass on the DeLonghi was much cooler after 15minutes then the Frigidaire, you could actually put your hand against the DeLonghi and it was just warm, the Frigidaire would burn you if you did that and was a common complaint between both of us as my wife had singed the back of a finger a couple of times. She was really impressed that she could put her hand against the glass "just can't hold it there", and it just be very warm while the inside temp was a cozy 450F.
I wanted to try something right away and we happen to have a package of Red Baron frozen French bread pizza. I put two of the pizzas on the rack, placed at slot 2, and used the pizza setting in the control panel, “the frozen selection was already set”, put the size as a 10" and turned it on. 15 minutes later they looked perfectly done, the cheese was nicely toasted around the edges and peperoni curled up a little with browned edges also. I noticed these came out much better than the Frigidaire, they were more evenly browned and heated. The Frigidaire uses quarts elements, 2 on top and 2 on bottom so you have to make sure the items you are cooking are centered correctly, there’s sort of a dead “cooler” area right in the middle of that oven. The Delonghi has standard oven looking elelments top and bottom and they are shaped into a 4 way S pattern so that the whole bottom and top are evenly heated, there’s a definite difference between the two on how the heat is distributed.
My wife has been making toast and heating up dinner rolls in it and she says it heats up quite a bit faster than our old one, she was very surprised how fast it makes toast and how even the top is compared to the old oven. I’ve also heated up some frozen leftover Domino’s pizza “yes I like pizza” and it did a great job on that. For two pieces, “placed on aluminum foil” with the bottom rack in slot 1, I sent it controls for pizza, frozen, 8”, it showed about 10 minutes till finished and at the end of the cycle the pieces were hot “very hot, and the bottom crust nice and crisp, “couldn’t have asked for better”. In comparison with the Frigidaire I would have to preheat the pieces in the microwave for 30 seconds before putting them in and then heat for 15 minutes to get about the same results, just not quite as well.
I do wish it came with a second rack, they show one in the instructions but there wasn’t one with this unit. The one thing I do miss about the Frigidaire unit is it had a “Bagel” setting which I liked to use to toast buns when making hamburgers, only the top element would heat leaving the bottom warm and soft. I can get around this by setting the buns on some tinfoil and putting the rack in the level 3 slot, using the toast function. This worked really well and it’s an acceptable compromise to not having a dedicated Bagel setting.
We’ll be using this a lot for getting our Christmas dinner ready and may not even have to turn on the big oven, I have a feeling it will be seeing a lot less use.

De’Longhi Livenza Oven - Versatile & Fast
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
It was obvious to me while I was removing this De’Longhi Livenza Digital Convection Oven from the box that it was something special. The modern exterior of the oven's cabinet is stainless steel, finished in an appealing, glossy satin. Although the oven itself weighs only twelve pounds, it has a heavier, quality-built feel to it. The oven's double glass door, which is thermally insulated, is hinged at the bottom and opens from the top down,. When fully opened the double glass door allows unrestricted access to the entire oven's interior. An internal light allows you to visually check your cooking process while the oven is ON. For easier cleaning the whole, interior oven surface has a non-stick and non-scratch coating. There are two sets of stainless steel heating elements, one at the top, and, one at the bottom. For more efficient cooking there are four oven slot positions for placing your wire rack, bake pan, and, or pizza pan(s). For your convenience the slots are numbered and correspond to the suggested positions to use during the various selected cooking functions. Also included with the oven are the following accessories:
* A crumb tray, which slides under the bottom heating element.
* A non-stick, round pizza pan.
* A non-stick baking pan
* A stainless steel wire toasting, roasting or grilling rack
There is a large, blue LCD, function screen, located just to the right of the oven glass door at the top. The LCD screen displays the following digital information:
** Time of day clock when oven is not in operation.
** Seven Cooking Function Indicators – Toast, Bake, Convection, Broil / Grill, Defrost, Pizza, Cookies, and a Keep Warm. Pizza and Cookies are preset in time and temperature. You also have a fresh / frozen selection option.
** Timer / Clock Indicator.
** Temperature Digital Information – ,Temperature, Size, Number of Trays / Slices.
Below the blue LCD screen are three round, rotary, multi-functional dials. In the center of each dial is a control push button:
*** Toast Color / Time Dial – This top rotary dial increases (+) or decreases (-) the cooking times up to a maximum of 120 minutes. The center push button is the ON / OFF.
*** Temperature Pizza Size Slices Tray Dial – This second rotary dial increases (+) or decreases (-) the oven temperature with a range of 175F to a maximum of 450 F degrees. The center push button momentarily displays the actual internal oven temperature on the blue LCD screen when depressed.
*** Function Selection Dial – The third rotary dial allows you to choose any one of the seven cooking functions plus the keep warm selection. The center push button gives you the frozen food option when depressed.
The De’Longhi Livenza Digital Convection Oven is designed for placement directly on your kitchen counter top and under your top cabinets. The oven cabinet sits on four sturdy legs, which allows space between your counter top surface and oven for heat dissipation. The manufacture recommends that you have at least four inches of clearance from the top of the oven to the bottom of your cabinets to properly vent any heat exhaust. This oven requires a maximum of 1,800 watts at 120 V, so the circuit you utilize should be separate from any of your other kitchen appliances to avoid the nuisance of tripping breakers. A 36”, heavy duty, grounded plug is provided with this oven.
After two weeks of various use I just love this oven. It has an easy learning curve. WooHoo!The more I use it the easier it is to understand and the more versatile it becomes. In fact I am retiring my microwave. This baby heat up any leftovers I would normally 'nuke', and they stay hot. No more 'rubbery' bread or cheese, and, food hot for only several minutes. And, the best part – it only takes a little more cooking time with this oven then with my ancient microwave. It is definitely worth the wait for me. YooHoo!
I have made cookies, heated up leftover Stromboli, baked a ham and fudge brownies. YUM!
This oven is fast and efficient as against using my larger range. Since it sits on my counter top, it is easily seen by my Grand Kids, who love to watch the cookies and brownies 'rise' as they are baked. The oven light is Kid-Friendly. But, a word of caution – the oven cabinet top and sides get pretty 'hot' to the touch, so keep the kids away from these surfaces while cooking or baking.
I highly recommend the purchase of this De’Longhi Livenza Digital Convection Oven. It actually does more then my existing conventional, convection range oven, and, has eliminated any further use of my microwave. It is not only versatile, but fast and efficient too. For its price point – this baby is a bargain. It would make a great gift for any family member or friend, because it is a great multi-functional cooking 'convenience'. It is specially designed for 'active' and 'busy' people to save them time cooking, baking, and grilling in their kitchens. Get this oven, you will NOT be disappointed!

In the week we’ve had with this oven we’ve been really impressed with it. It works extremely well as a small oven and it heats up very quickly. It’s perfect if you only need to serve a couple of people and saves you a lot of waiting and cleaning.
Starting off with what’s in the box, you get the oven, wire rack, baking pan, pizza pan, and crumb tray. Side note - we actually mistook the crumb tray as a cookie sheet when we first got it, but you’re meant to use the baking pan for cookies, which is a shame because it doesn’t give you as much surface area to lay cookies out on. The oven itself is quite large; you’ll need a good open area on your counters to use this. It feels well constructed - the door feels especially solid. The knobs have this plastic feel that sort of betrays the look, but they still work pretty well.
The functions are displayed and adjusted via the display 3 knobs. It’s a pretty intuitive; basically the 3rd knob switches between different functions and the other 2 adjust whatever the selected functions.
We saw the benefits of using this as an oven a lot more than using it as a toaster, which isn’t to say it’s a bad toaster, but the preheat time just blows our normal oven out of the water. I know that mostly comes down to the fact that the space it needs to heat up is a lot smaller, but when you’re only serving a couple of people that’s usually all you need. Everything we have put in there so far has cooked quickly and evenly. We have done toast, bacon, quesadillas, waffles, nachos, and we’ve also heated up a few sandwiches and burritos. Some of the presets seem a little gimmicky, but it’s easy to ignore them and just use the more conventional settings.
Overall I would say this accomplishes everything our normal oven can do in a smaller size. Its only limitation I’ve really found is its size. It’s never going to take the place of a full size oven, but it’s a really easy way to cook smaller meals and much easier to clean up.

We are replacing a smaller B&D oven with this one, and so far, the De'Longhi doesn't disappoint. Size-wise, it's a bit bulky for what I'm use to, but after getting used to it, I enjoy it quite a bit.
PROS:
* Heats quickly. I can set to BAKE setting and get to 400 degrees-F in about 4-5 minutes.
* The convection option is great for a better cooking-thru experience
* Everything is digital and on screen. Analog dials change the digital settings in the main window.
* Stainless looks great
* Double-paned window on the front keeps more heat in. There is a good seal around the front window door.
* The LIGHT on the inside is great!! If baking, the light automatically comes on.
* Includes a pizza pan - and able to cook a 13" pizza
* Always-on clock display
CONS:
* With the double-layer rack system, it would be great to have INCLUDED another wire rack. If you're paying this much for a small oven, an extra small rack and another cookie tray would be ideal.
* I wish the pizza pan had small holes in it like our bigger round pizza pans. This would allow for more heat to the bottom of the pizza
* Accessories include 1 rack and a broiler pan. I would like for another accessory to be a big square pan that you can place on top of the wire rack itself (not the round pizza sheet) - something similar to the crumb pan that's on the bottom. This allows for cooking things like chicken strips, french toast, etc that require more than the wire rack. The broiler pan can be used, but surface space is limited due to its bowl-like design on the edges.
* There is no way to change the volume level of the beep tone. This may not be an option on many (or any) of this type of appliance, but it would be nice especially in the mornings when people are sleeping - this high-pitch beep can wake people up.
* Wire rack spacing of wires is that of a regular-size oven. My last wire rack had the wires closer together which helped keep food from falling through the wire spaces. Something to keep in mind if you cook smaller items.
* As with most small appliances, if the power goes out, clock has to be reset.
NOTES:
* Oven gets hot, and quick. My previous oven must not have gotten this hot because it is very easy to burn things in this oven if you don't have your times set correctly. Initially, keep a close eye on your food so it does not burn.
* "Pizza" setting is different than a regular "bake" setting. You put the frozen pizza in the oven from the start - no pre-heating. If you're waiting for a pre-heating beep in Pizza mode, it won't happen - that's all part of the cooking process.
* The oven bakes on top/bottom only, but De'Longhi also has another oven identical to this one but with an added side burner for a 3-zone cooking area. This one appears to cook evenly and just fine for what I use it for.
* Unit uses a 3-prong AC power plug.
Overall, a great oven functionally. However, at the selling price point, I would ask for another wire rack for double-layer baking and also another pan similar to the pizza pan, but square/flat like the crumb tray. For this price, I don't see why that wouldn't be a doable option. For what I did get to use, it worked great. I have used this oven to make French toast, regular toast, cookies, 10" Digiorno frozen pizza, frozen waffles, small frozen pot pie, and a few other odds and ends all on various settings. I had a couple of things get slightly over done but I will adjust in the future to compensate for the higher temps this oven puts out over my previous portable oven. I have posted a picture of my previous oven and this one so you can see the size diference and also the round back of the oven that allows for a full-size pizza to be cooked. Also a picture of all the racks/pans included. Should last us for many years!

The De’Longhi Livenza Oven is an amazing appliance! It is a high performance convection oven & replaces the microwave for quick heating in many situations. We tested it against our Professional $3,500 "Trivection Oven", a 30" built-in oven with Convection / Standard Cooking & Microwave assist. Read on for the results...
LIKES:
1- The trusted De’Longhi name makes a premium quality & safety statement.
2- Safety stabs on the back of the oven cabinet press against the back wall & maintain proper spacing to the wall, assuring a safe distance for proper heat flow behind the oven.
3- Very attractive design.
4- Heavy Duty 16-gauge electric cord shows the engineering attention to detail applied throughout this quality appliance & features a space saving 90 degree turn at the appliance.
5- Ideal size for a 2nd oven.
6- Includes a number of accessories.
7- Stainless steel exterior on sides & top show a professional look.
8- Beautiful, colorful electronic display.
9- Well packaged from De'longhi for safe arrival.
10- Double walled glass door retains heat & improves efficiency.
11- All included pans are non-stick.
12- Quiet!
13- Highly energy efficient.
14- Easy to clean. The catch tray below the heating element is dishwasher safe.
15- Four positions for the cooking rack.
16- Interior light is bright & really shows what is cooking.
17- Uniform heating.
18- Very simple to use, with an intuitive design.
19- Toast has it's own function: Place bread on the tray, select "toast" & the number of pieces you're toasting; press start.
20- "Keep Warm" function serves as a warming drawer.
DISLIKES:
1- Polished chrome should NOT be on the center of handle – it looks great but makes cleaning finger prints more labor intensive than brushed stainless.
2- Accessories are not listed, yet are needed; for example, you need a second rack to cook 2) pizzas. The second rack is sold separately & is not included with this oven.
CONCLUSION:
Check out the Basa with Mediterranean seasonings in the attached photos!! This oven baked this fish perfectly! Next, we convection baked 3) batches of cookies in this oven & in our $3,500 professional "Trivection Oven". Same Batch. Same cookies. Same Fabulous results! Both ovens produced cookies with identical texture & flavor!
This De’Longhi Livenza Oven is a highly useful appliance & earned my Highest 5 Star Recommendation!

The first thing I noticed out of the box was how beautiful the unit was. This may not be a big deal to some, but for me, something that sits out on your counter full time should be somewhat aesthetically pleasing.
The second thing that I noticed was that the unit has bumpers that keep the unit off of the wall and away from other appliances. This is not a feature that I have seen on other countertop ovens, and it is appreciated. It shows that the designers were thinking about every detail of this product.
The oven is simple to use right of the box. The controls are intuitive and labeled well. I'm not sure why this oven as a clock on the readout, as none of the features require its use, but it has one that shows when the oven is not in use.
I have made frozen dinners, baked fish, and baked goods in this oven. Everything came out great. I love the convection feature. I used to have this feature on my oven in my previous home and missed it. The oven comes with several accessories (pizza, crumb tray, rack, baking pan). The baking pan is so far my favorite. None of the food I have baked on it have stuck to the non-stick surface. The pan fits in the unit on the tracks inside so you don't need to find the right size pan to fit the oven. The oven itself has the tracks labeled as to what track you use with what feature, which is really helpful. The only time that I had to refer back to the instructions is to verify what temp and time was suggested for certain items.
The non-stick interior also wipes clean after use. The oven does not heat up your kitchen, so it would be perfect for summertime use.
This is the cream of the crop when it comes to countertop ovens. You can't go wrong with this item.

I absolutely love this convection toaster oven! Our prior toaster oven doesn’t nearly have the same features as this one.
What I love:
1. Dual pane glass to keep the heat in
2. Oven light
3. Looks great and modern on the kitchen counter
What Could Be Improved:
1. The controls takes a bit of a learning curve to figure out
2. Wished the oven light turns on when I open the door
3. When the door is fully open, the handle on the door hits the counter and doesn’t allow easy access to the “first” rack slot without running your oven glove up and down the inside of the door.
This oven makes toast as fast as 4 mins. Not fast compared to an actual toaster but it’s much faster than my previous toaster oven. The convection and baking options work great and performs like a regular oven. The back of the oven is convex to accommodate a regular sized pizza. It does include a very nice quality nonstick pizza pan and cookie tin.
I highly recommend this toaster oven for anyone looking to upgrade or replace their usage of the larger oven to this smaller, more power efficient, toaster oven for everyday cooking items like pizzas and toast.

Convection Counter Oven

My wife has a ride or die relationship with her toaster ovens. We use them for literally 9/10 things we make for our kids for dinner: fish sticks, chicken nuggets, meatballs, pizza, you name it.
When my wife and I saw this, she was really interested in looking at convection technology again. We had a full size convection oven when the technology came out and it never really cooked the food right. Since that was almost 10 years ago, we were good to try it again.
We made the mistake that I think most people will make - you think this will fit by looking at it in the store or online. We didn't measure, we eye-balled it. Since it's a convection oven, this thing takes up more space than our old B&D one that we had - we also should've brought my wife's favorite pan to see if it fit... it didn't, the pan was literally about 1/4" too wide. Thankfully, it comes with a pizza pan, so that solved about 99% of our use case right there!
So poor measuring and planning aside, when we fired this thing up, we were impressed to see all the options it has to offer! It makes cooking the bacon on a Saturday morning a cinch! I've also mastered the art of cooking my 4-year old daughter's favorite meal: cheese toast.
There's a ton more options in what kind of food you want to cook, how many portions or servings you're preparing and then how long you want it to cook / hoe high you want the temp. We've been using it pretty much daily since we got it, and we still haven't tried all the settings yet.
Another cool addition was that it comes with some sample recipes and some tips for using convection ovens if you're new to them. I knew my wife was happy enough with it when I saw our old toaster oven in the trash bin the other night - guess she's happy enough to keep it!
If you're looking for a toaster oven with a ton of features, then check this out!

I love this toaster oven. Haven't used my big oven since I got it. Perfect for the two of us. Especially like the pizza setting. Comes with a pizza pan even. I've made everything in it except toast. I have a good little toaster for that.

High Quality, Full Featured Oven

I haven’t owned a toaster oven for quite a few years. I’ve actually missed the convenience of cooking with one so I was anxious to try the DeLonghi Livenza convection oven. Let me start by saying that “toaster oven” doesn’t begin to describe this wonderful appliance. Sure it does toast but it does so much more.
Immediately upon unboxing I was impressed by the quality and design of the Livenza. Constructed of quality stainless steel the oven weighs in at a hefty 25 pounds and measures 19 x 17.5 x 12 inches. Included is an instruction manual, a crumb tray, a baking pan, a wire rack, and a pizza pan. All these accessories are of surprisingly good quality. The pizza pan and baking pan are particularly well constructed and both are non stick. The overall design of the the oven is sleek and modern looking. I quickly recognized an ingenious design element. In order to accommodate the pizza pan the oven is rounded in the back. The front of the unit has a nice blue display for cooking settings. There are also three dials which are used to select various settings. The top dial controls toast color and time and is also the on/off button. The middle dial controls the oven temperature and pizza size. The bottom dial is the function select control. With it you can select toast, bake, convection, broil/grill, defrost, pizza, cookies, and keep warm. Truly an abundance of settings for all your cooking needs.
Next I really had to fire this baby up and see how it cooked. Included is a very nice getting started guide book. After familiarizing myself with the oven functions I started cooking. Fish was on my first menu and I must say it came out flawless and delicious. The oven comes up to temp very quickly and with the convection function it cooks very evenly. DeLonghi says it the convection feature cooks 3 times faster than a conventional oven. I believe it. Even at high temperatures the exterior of the oven is only warm to the touch. The convection fan is surprisingly quiet. So quiet I wasn’t sure it was running even though the display said it was. Opening the door I could hear the low hum. Very nice. Of note also is the quality construction of the Livenza door. Very solid with a double pane window just like a full size oven. I love that DeLonghi included an interior light so one can easily monitor cooking. The interior of the oven even has a nonstick coating which makes cleanup a breeze. Nice touch!
I next had to try a frozen pizza. Simply select pizza, select how dark you want your crust, and select your pizza size from 6” to 13”. The oven sets the cook time automatically. In 16 minutes I had an evenly cooked pizza with a perfectly crisp edge and bottom crust. Delicious. I’ve now tried everything from cookies to french fries to egg rolls to reheated leftovers and yes even toast. I’ve been truly impressed with all the results. I’m definitely using my microwave less than ever. I must say that the DeLonghi Livenza convection oven is a great addition to my kitchen. It’s truly a full featured oven in a smaller more convenient package. Love it.

Perfect oven for a small apartment

Don't be put off with the site of this oven. It may look like an oversized toaster oven, but it is much more powerful and useful than a toaster oven. Set up was very easy. I just took it out of the box, put in the crumb tray and plugged it in. The directions do say to run the oven empty for 40 minutes in convection mode at 450 degrees to remove any residual protective substances.
The oven does come with a 13" pizza pan, two wire racks and a bake pan. Inside the oven there are 4 grooves inside so you can adjust how close you want your food to the heat. Once you turn on the oven you can see the eight functions the oven has: toast, bake, convection, broil/grill, defrost, pizza, cookies and keep warm. You just turn the bottom knob to choose a function. The middle knob for the temperature and the top knob to set the timer and start the cooking process. What I really like about the timer is that once it rings, the oven turns off which eases my mind worrying about my kids turning off the oven.
I am extremely impressed with how evenly the oven cooks food. With a toaster oven, your food, even toast, rarely cooks evenly. I was able to have pizza, chicken, grilled cheese and yes even frozen burritos cook evenly.
De'Longhi does offer a few recipes in the manual and more if you download the Recipe Book app. You can also use your own recipes and De'Longhi's manual guidelines for cooking various food items. For the ones I tested they were all very accurate. The only surprise is that the convection oven actually reduces the time needed to cook most of the food that I tried.
The oven is very quiet, especially when using the convection oven. The oven heats up very quickly, but I did find it warm to the touch when cooking at a high temperature for a long time. It isn't as fast as a microwave, but I find myself using this oven more to warm up left overs, especially pizza since it is no longer soggy after heating it up in a microwave.
If you are tight on space and need an oven, the De'Longhi Livenza Oven's power of a standard oven, ability to quickly heat up and about as big as a mid size microwave is a great oven for you

A Great Countertop Oven

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
For years, we've had a small toaster oven that sat on our counter. We only used it a handful of times and it mostly served as a stand for extra coffee mugs. So when I saw this small convection oven, I thought this might be an upgrade we'd actually use.
It's quite a bit bigger than the toaster oven, but still fits nicely on the counter top. When in use, it does get pretty warm on top and on the left side, but stays mostly cool on the right side. The manual recommends 4" clearance on the top and left and 8" on the right, though, which seems a bit odd. I ran it with about 4" all the way around and it seemed to be just fine.
It's a nice size--just large enough to fit in most things we want to cook yet doesn't completely take over the counter. It comes with a pizza pan, wire rack, and a baking pan. Everything but the wire rack has a non-stick coating. After setting it up, I ran it on a 30 minute convection cycle to burn off the initial smells (apparently the heating elements have a protective coating).
After that, we baked a frozen pumpkin pie. The pie box said not to use a toaster oven, but I wasn't sure if that applied to a convection oven like this. It turned out just as good as from our big oven, though we had to watch the time on it more carefully since we weren't familiar with how it would cook. It was actually done a little faster than our usual oven time.
I only noticed a couple of potential negatives with the oven. One is it's fairly easy to bump the dials on the front (when wiping down crumbs, for example) and turn them one notch which brings up the menu. After I did that once, I learned to be a little more careful. The other thing is the beeping is pretty loud. I realize you want it to get your attention when it's done, but it also uses the same tone when you're setting the cook programs. I did enjoy how the manual even accurately included the "Beep! Beep! Beep!" graphic in their drawings for each of the cooking mode instructions.
Overall, though, I'm very pleased with this oven and would recommend it for anyone looking for a full-featured convection oven to fit in a relatively small space. I'm very confident this oven won't gather dust like our old toaster oven.

I really can't imagine apartment life without a toaster/pizza oven. When my old toaster oven finally died after 8 years of service, I wanted an upgrade. This new Livenza oven is amazing!
It has plenty of room (for a toaster/pizza oven) without taking up that much more space than my previous, smaller toaster oven. The larger oven is welcomed with its multiple racks for baking cookies/biscuits/etc.
The biggest selling point (for me at least) is that it is a convection oven. This makes life so much easier and everything cooks much more evenly and quickly.
I also love how easy it is to clean. Just a damp rag is all I need for most cleaning. My previous toaster oven had non-removable shields over the bottom heating elements which preventing cleaning the elements, but thankfully there is nothing blocking the elements in the Livenza oven.
The digital display is nice, and it's so easy to go through the cooking menu (you can also just manually control the temperature and timer if you want).
If you're in the market for a new toaster/pizza oven with plenty of room (without taking up too much space), I HIGHLY recommend this oven.

awesome (though fairly large) toaster oven

the good
-while certainly not the size of a standard oven, still fairly large. if you're thinking small toaster oven, may want to pick something else. very deep as well. this certainly will not fit on a shallow countertop. that being said, tons of interior cooking space.
-seems well insulated, doesn’t leak a lot of heat outside (though the top surface does get pretty hot).
-attractive design, digital readouts so no confusion about temp or timer
-accessories included - non-stick baking pan and full size non-stick pizza pan included, as well as the rack. large capacity for cooking multiple items, really more like a small oven than a toaster over in my opinion.
-preprogrammed heating patterns for things like baking cookies and pizzas. i’ve yet to try these, but time will tell if they’re useful or just superfluous.
the bad
-some might see the size as a negative. definitely bigger than a normal toaster oven.
overall
really not much negative to say about this oven. very nice oven, especially considering the price. looks good, heats up quick and holds temperature well. 5 stars
