Convection and bake work fine, if you don't mind waiting a long time for whatever it is you're trying to bake or convect.
Broiler doesn't get hot enough to broil anything.
Toaster is fabulous at burning the edges of your bread to crisp while leaving the rest appearing not to have been toasted at all.
On a more positive note, the door doesn't make any noise when you slam it shut.

Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ Review

Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Breville Smart Oven is a must-have kitchen appliance. In many/most cases it can serve as a replacement for it larger cousin the conventional oven/range. However, the Smart Oven is much more energy efficient (using roughly 50% less electricity) and can fit into the smallest of kitchens
Things that we enjoy
+ Depending on the setting (Broil/Bake/Toast) you have the ability to manage the temperature zones in the oven. This helps to ensure perfect cooking depending on you individual requirements.
+ The magnetic door helps to prevent any burns (see video)
+ Door seals nicely - reducing energy waste and the unneeded heating of your home.
+ 9 programmable settings - HOWEVER - you also have the ability to tailor the settings to your individual needs.
+ Nice Stainless steel finish will look nice in all kitchens.
+ Despite being stainless steel the surface of the oven does not show too many fingerprints.
+ Three pans included - Pizza - Baking - Broiling
+ Great operating manual
+ Not just a standard toaster oven - this is also a convection oven!
+ AS A OVEN IT WORKS GREAT
Areas to improve
- The cord is a little short (less than 3 feet) - while many people may appreciate a short cord it does mean that you have to have outlet near a space where you plan to use the oven.
- You may not be able to operate other appliances on your electrical circuit - At full heat the Smart Oven will pull between 15-20 amps - make sure that you have at least a 20amp breaker on the plug that you are using.Final Verdict.... this is an easy 5 stars - purchase with confidence.

Attractively housed in reinforced stainless steel, this 1800-watt convection toaster oven features a 4/5-cubic-foot nonstick interior and Element IQ technology, which provides smarter control over the heat. Choose from nine pre-set functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, or Warm; each one comes with its own pre-programmed temperature and cooking time, eliminating the guesswork. The unit's broil function activates just the top heating elements to melt and brown food; its toast function activates the top and bottom heating elements to seal and crisp; and the bake function uses both the top and bottom heating elements, as well as the convection fan, to ensure thorough cooking, inside and out. Instead of the oven's five quartz heating elements having a fixed wattage, however, Element IQ functions much like a dimmer on a light switch, increasing or decreasing the power with a simple turn of the knob. The time and temperature for the pre-set programs can easily be adjusted to accommodate individual preferences--the oven will even remember the new settings for next time.
Thoughtfully designed, the oven's push-button and turn-knob control panel, as well as its blue back-lit LCD screen, makes it effortless to operate the unit and to see the current function, temperature, and adjusts made. Other highlights include fast heat-up times, energy-efficient operation, three rack positions, a wire rack that ejects automatically halfway out of the oven for safe removal of hot items, an embossed and ribbed top surface that can be used as a warming tray, and a front-access removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. Combining durable materials and powerful performance with a strikingly modern design, users will want to leave the oven out on display and conveniently accessible for everyday use. Accessories include a 13-inch non-stick pizza pan, a 12-by-12-inch enamel baking pan, and a 12-by-12-inch enamel broil rack. The oven measures 18-1/2 by 12-1/2 by 10-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cuisinart TOB-155 Toaster Oven, Stainless and Black Review

Cuisinart TOB-155 Toaster Oven, Stainless and Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My husband said he needed a toaster oven for his work so I told him to take ours and I'd buy a new one. (yay!) I went shopping all around town looking at different models... wasn't too impressed with what I saw. The few I DID like I came home to read horror reviews about on amazon. I finally found this one and I believe all the possitive reviews are right. This warms up quickly and toasts perfectly. It looks very nice and seems to be excellent quality. Its very easy to use and I LOVE the touch buttons and digital display. Within minutes of plugging it in I successfully toasted half a frozen bagel as an experiment/snack and it was toasted perfection!! The options are very handy and work great. For the Bagel I just pressed toast-defrost-bagel and selected the darkness setting. I realize now that my old toaster oven was drying food out and heated unevenly. I have also cooked a pizza in it and it was done quickly and evenly also. The only complaint is what was mentioned about having to be careful not to touch it when it's hot. The handle doesn't seem to get hot but just behind it on the metal it does. It is possible you could be burned that way, I did jerk my hand back once on casually opening the door(and I have small hands). That doesn't deter me from loving this toaster oven but I will be careful when it gets very hot. My husband wants to take this one to his work... I said no way! :) With Amazons good price and free shipping its well worth it!

31112 Toaster Oven Review

31112 Toaster Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have never had a toaster oven before so my review might affected by having nothing previous to compare to, but here goes:
I wanted a small, 2 slice toaster oven, because I am a 1 person family. There were only a couple choices on Amazon and the other choice seemed to be rated as too small by other buyers. So I chose this Proctor Silex(at that time)unrated model.
It takes up only a little more space on my counter than my old 2 slice toaster did. It is very mechanical in its operation. ("Tick..tick..tick..Ding!") I assume this oven is marketed more outside this country because none of the words around the dials are in English. I thought that amusing. There are little pictures of the functions and the temp settings in both F. and C. so no problems. We all read every word of our operating manuals, right?
This little oven will hold 2 generous slices of bread-I've done 3 slices of french bread at a time. No problem broiling open faced sandwiches with plenty of toppings. Only the fattest of sweet rolls or muffins may have to be split.
This oven has created the most evenly toasted bread I have had for ages. (My retired toaster was pretty old.) If it did nothing else it would be worth the bargain price I paid. I make mini pizzas on english muffins a lot and for this it works perfectly as well.
The upper and lower heating elements are encased in tubes, the lower one protected with perforated metal to reduce crumb burning, I assume.
Oh, and one thing that was never mentioned anywhere I tried to research this item before I bought it--it is 800 watts.
I am very happy with the little unit.

Foil Broiler Pans 333 - 1 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Besides being very flimsy each pan comes with a large - about 8 x 8, paper sticker attached with big globs of glue that take some time getting off. This isn't glue you can roll off and has to be scraped off. The pans come in a sealed package so why they put a sticker on each one and use this glue (toxic?) is over kill. Nice for the convenience but I won't be buying this brand again. Back to a heavy rack with foil underneath.

Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven Review

Black and Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We looked at a number of ovens and wanted something that did the basic things and didn't take up too much space. No convection (we have a convection oven) and no digital - its just a basic appliance. We looked at the B&D 240 but this just seemed too basic and too flimsy. Then we saw this one. It has all the basics, it's a good, small size and its silver / black which matches our kitchen. It has 3 controls (as compared to the basic model w/ 2) making it easy to select temp, function and time. The handle is securely attached to the glass door -the metal ends wrap around the glass so it won't fall off (a complaint about other ovens). It has a nice slide out crumb tray that has access from the front with the oven door close - this makes it very easy to empty. Nicely toasted our first bagel in just a few minutes and it was very evenly browned, something our regular toaster did not do well at all.
Pros
Gets hot fast
Basic controls work well
Easy access crumb tray
Even toasting and heating
Cons
Not many
The top and sides do get hot so don't store anything on this!

Other highlights include an "on" indicator light, a see-through glass door to monitor the cooking progress, a convenient bake and toast signal bell, and a slide-out crumb tray for quick cleanup.

I had been looking, for some time, for a double-boiler to make German rice like my Aunt does. This was a recipe from my grandmother who passed away before I was born. I was very pleased with how easy this was to work with. I really appreciate the classic look and feel of this cookware. It has a good weight and is very easy to clean. Faberware has been around for a long time and I think they really got it right again.
I looked at all your site had to offer and read other reviews also. I want to thank the others that liked this double-boiler...I know I made the right decision with their input.

ProBake Teflon Platinum 12.8-by-8.9-by-2-Inch Bake, Broil, & Roast Pan Set with Chrome Rack Review

ProBake Teflon Platinum 12.8-by-8.9-by-2-Inch Bake, Broil, and Roast Pan Set with Chrome Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this set to use in my new Breville convection toaster oven which can handle a pan 13 in. In the title of this set of pans it states it is "12.8 by 8.9 by 2 inch." But it turns out that only the small inner pan fits those dimensions. The rack and large outer pan extend well past 14 inches. This fact is in the fine print, but I did not see it before purchasing this set.
I will use the bigger pan and rack in my "grown-up oven" -- but had hoped I was receiving a pan with rack to use in my toaster oven.

This is a utilitarian item, no bells and whistles but does just what it is supposed to do. With recent concerns published in the media about nonstick releasing toxins at high heat, we went back to basics and replaced our nonstick pan with this more traditional one. Works just fine and we no longer need to worry about harming ourselves or the environment by blasting Teflon in the broiler.

Hamilton Beach 31506 Convection 6 Slice/Broiler Toaster Oven Review

Hamilton Beach 31506 Convection 6 Slice/Broiler Toaster Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just bought this yesterday from Bed and Bath. Today I tried the toast feature. Used the light brown setting on some bagels, came out light brown. Next the dark brown setting; came out dark brown and not burnt. It works. As for the rack not being attached to the door(this appears to be an issue for some); this oven has two levels for the rack, this means you can't have that feature. The crumb tray removal is fine, you just need to wait until the oven cools off before removing it. It's also good as baking rack if you wanted to use it as one. Another problem with these units is a convection fan that's really loud. Not this one. Very quiet. Can't even tell it's on. The only thing I found so far that could be a problem are the metal strips on the door. One is right behind the handle and is rather easy to touch if your not careful.

Applica Consumer Products Inc Blk Signal Toaster Oven T Toaster Oven/Broiler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this toaster oven & have had a *few* problems with it...
Problem #1: after cleaning the toaster oven the first time, almost all of the numbers and markings rubbed off
Problem # 2: the door handle detached from the glass door within 2 weeks
Problem #3: the toaster oven and the sides of the handle get quite hot (which, aside from posing a fire hazard, is a big deal when the handle falls off when you are checking on food--you have to put it back on...)
Problem #4: there have been at least 2 fires inside the toaster
Problem #5: the baking mechanism broke so I can only toast (the blue indicator light does not light up when the oven is on bake & the toaster does not bake)
Problem #6: the toaster alternates between taking forever to toast a piece of toast and quickly burning it
Problem #7: the toaster toasts unevenly (I flipped my bread over half way through the cycle to make sure the sides got toasted more evenly)
Problem #8: the baking mechanism did not work if the timer was not off (the blue light will not even go on)
Problem #9 (more of an annoyance): if your toaster is unplugged & you turn the toaster knob on, the toaster will make the toasting sound (so you come back thinking you will have toast but in fact, the oven was never on)
Well, I just ordered a new toaster because it is *difficult* (to say the least) to use this toaster, seeing as it has no numbers, markings, baking mechanism, and has a hot handle that falls off... not to mention the little fires it starts and the fire hazard it obviously poses.
I figure Black & Decker knows about the fire hazard because the door has instructions of what to do if there is a fire inside the toaster (it says to close the toaster door & unplug it... it omits the important step of turn toaster off before unplugging--all consumers need is also the threat of electricution when using this defective product).
After just 3 or 4 months in my possesion, this Black & Decker toaster will be let to rest/thrown away (3-4 months after it should have been). Please do not donate this toaster to Goodwill or to the needy if (I mean, when) you have problems with it--throw it away, it's quite useless & a hazard.

We broiled fish on this pan twice. It was cleaned twice with only a non abrasive sponge. The non stick material has come off all the raised areas of the pan! Admittedly it was a tasteless substance yet I don't know what effect it is having on my stomach. This company is obviously after a fast buck. Do yourself a very large favor and avoid buying this pan. Had I purchased this in a store I'd walk in and demand my money back.

My wife purchased two of these. They look solid and reliable, but looks are deceiving.
