I was a long-time user of toaster ovens, especially because they're so good for those hot summer months when you want to bake something but don't want to heat up your kitchen. The only drawback to a toaster oven was not toasting bread as quickly as a pop-up toaster. I saw this one advertised, and begged my husband to get me one for Christmas last year. Well, it lasted about two months. I never could get a good toasting setting, and I was limited to two pieces of bread at a time. But the worst part was that the "oven" part of the appliance is too small. There was very little that I could cook in it, and I was used to cooking 9" loaf pans of meat loaf, baked potatoes, 6-cup muffin tins, and other such things. None of them fit in the toaststation. I'm now the proud owner of a 6-slice toaster oven, having decided I'd rather have the space for more things in the oven, plus the capacity for more than two slices of bread at a time.
