This little oven just works great. It warms up and cooks twice faster than a traditional oven and it really bakes evenly. Since we bought it I have rarely used our full size oven. The window is large enough to monitor the process. The light feature is a plus and the built in fan make the food crispy and it is so quiet you can not even hear it working. It is worth the money completely.

I had an amazing toaster oven that lasted me 10 years, when it finally died I knew it left a void in my heart that would be hard to fill. I bought 3 different replacements and none could pass the muster. Finally, I purchased the Calpahlon Quartz Heat Counter Top Oven. I could not be happier. Did you know you need a light inside your toaster oven?!? Well you do and this oven has it!! Honestly, I am super happy with this purchase. A toaster oven should not give this much joy, but it does.

It works well for the basics. My complaint is that accessory pans, including pizza, warp severely when exposed to heat. Makes for some funny looking pizzas.

We received our toaster oven two weeks ago. It has wonderful features. We have used many times and have not been disappointed. The light inside makes it easy to see inside without opening door. Everything we have cooked turned out great. We love the Quartz Heat and the way things cook evenly. I toasted a bagel and was impressed, it was actually warm and not just browned. We got rid of our toaster.

I love my new oven. It heats quickly and works well. The reason I gave it four stars is because there is no manual; just a small leaflet. The other thing is the light shuts off by itself. If I turn it on I want it to stay on.

I was excited about the crispy feature... however I've experienced zero crispness. The oven works fine, somehow I was expecting more

I really love how easy to clean up this oven is. I was really wary, because I hate doing dishes and I usually am looking for dishwasher friendly items. We had good luck with biscuits, pizzas, pretzel dogs, and toast. We're still exploring everything it does. The book that came with it was really tiny. Wish it had been more user friendly- bigger print, clearer instructions, maybe some recipes? It did cook very evenly. I also loved the soft grip handle, and the covered heating element. I felt safer letting my 8 year old granddaughter help make cookies because of that. The things I didn't care for was the small amount of instructions/ suggestions, and the fact that the pans included scratch so easy. The oven is very well made.

I am eating things differently than the rest of my family, mainly dieting so I'm roasting lots of veggies. I love that I can use this countertop oven for smaller portions than cooking for multiple people without using the big oven. I like the many features on it, I've used roast, bake, toast the most so far. I think this item would be great for those in dorm rooms or in an apartment if they are limited on space and get the variety as if they had all the other appliances. I'm very happy with this although the preheat time for everything does take some getting used to, I'm happy to free up some extra counter space. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
