    I bought this toaster oven because it was on sale and I like KitchenAid as a brand - we all know their stand mixers are awesome. However, I don't think this item quite lives up to the stand mixer standard, but it is probably as good as almost any other toaster oven out there. My one major problem with this is that it is shockingly loud during operation. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't overtake my TV or even a conversation at regular volume, but it is annoying LOL. I know I'm complaining about something that doesn't affect its performance but this thing isn't the cheapest option available so I wasn't expecting this kind of issue. I will say that the best part of this oven is that the temperature ranges when set to bake are accurate (I tested with a thermometer) and toasting a bagel on the medium darkness setting produces the result I was expecting.

    High Quality - Takes a LONG Time to Cook

    I thought I'd try this one and see how good the convection oven feature worked. Well, the quality is good - it cooks even and the materials are well made. BUT : it takes a very long time to cook things that I was used to cooking in my previous toaster oven. For example, I broiled a steak and it took twice as long. It cooked evenly and it was very tender throughout. It just cook an awfully long time - probably 25 minutes - compared to the grill and my other toaster oven. Just a heads up going into it.

    I’m very happy with this toaster oven. The reviews from other buyers help me in making this selection. I really like heating my food in an oven rather than a microwave. This is just right for me and my husband. It’s very easy to use. Since covid19, I cook a lot at home. I do batch (a lot of food at one time) cooking, for example I’ll grill ribs, chicken, fish , shrimp, baked beans, etc. I freeze it and we just grab a container and heat it up in the toaster oven. To me food tastes so much better reheated in an oven compared to a microwave.

    Bakes and toasts well. Have not used the convection feature yet. Like the large size for baking and reheating. A bit noisy when you want to use it and not disturb anyone.

    A terrific oven. Even heat and lots of room. It looks great. It has only one draw back...it is slow to heat to the required temperatures for all the settings.

    My wife got this for me for my birthday. Yes, this is the kind of stuff you get for your birthday when you're an adult, haha. I've always wanted one, because I hate turning on the big oven to cook small things like mini pizzas, chicken nuggets, etc, for the kids. It gets too hot. This is perfect for that, and for reheating stuff.

    Great toaster oven for a big family.

    Our oven quit working and we have a big family. Not having an oven with 6 kids just doesn’t work. We bought this to help tide us over until we can get a new oven. A frozen pizza from the grocery store fits just fine although it would be nice if they included a tray that was larger than 9x13 for putting the pizza on. Toaster was a bit tricky to find the right setting as the oven is very large and if it’s cold the light setting barely warms the bread. So far so good. If you want a big toaster this may be the one!

    To My surprise this unit works exceptionally, bought for a senior who basically knows ON/OFF the four feature simple switch for Toast, Bake, Warm, broil is being used and happiness prevails, the microwave oven be damned, he is now a kitchenAid fan, he did say it was a brand of rave in his time (somewhere between the cretaceous and Triassic era) when dinosaur meat was hard to just cook right !

    Bought this and threw out our microwave. It works really well. Comes with 2 racks that you can change the position on. Also comes with a cooking sheet. You can place it under cabinets because the exterior does not get hot. The only thing that is annoying is the timer. It has the old school egg timmer that you can hear clicking away while your waiting. I think they all have that style timer though.

    I reviewed several convection toasters prior to purchase and selected this one based on the positive reviews. I haven't been disappointed. The convection works great - my cook time has been significantly reduced on everyday frozen foods like fries and chicken fingers. The toaster is large and I am also reducing expense by cooking many things in it that I previously used my oven for. It also looks nice which is important since it sits prominently on my kitchen counter. Would definitely recommend!
