I purchased this toaster oven last year and I was initially pleased by its performance. It cooked my pumpkin pies, browned my salty pretzels, and heated my morning pop-tarts with ease....then the winds of change started to blow...much like the fan in this unit- noisy and unwelcome in my quiet abode...After baking a vegetable lasagna to impress my finance, I attempted to close the door of the oven and it wouldn't completely close. I tried everything! I removed the door, cleaned the hinges, and discarded any crumbs that might have been blocking the doors effectiveness, but alas, the door still wouldn't close. Now I use the toaster as not only a toaster, but as an effective means of heating my home...because most of the heat that is generated by the heating elements escapes from the faulty door that will not close...next time, I stick to a brick oven or campfire- more reliable and less expensive!!
