KitchenAid® Digital Countertop Oven, Black Matte Reviews

I've had two Kitchenaid toaster ovens in the past that were absolutely great. This toaster oven is cheaply made. For toast or bagels you choose a "shade" between 1-5, which is not accurate. The "ding" that lets you know the oven has completed an item is like a joke. You're better off reading the "end" word instead of trying listen for the sound. My hearing is very good but I'm sorry I bought this product and would never get another toaster oven from Kitchenaid.

Bought the toaster over after my old one was given away. The oven itself is fast to heat and extremely versatile. I also enjoy how easy it is to clean up afterwards. One thing that could be improved is the oven tray. Mine warped after a few uses under high heat which shouldn't happen. Other than that, great product

I received this oven and the rack had rust spots so whirlpool decided to replace entire unit as the racks were on back order. Upon receiving the second unit there were moisture stains on the floor of the oven. I am now awaiting third unit. Very disappointed. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

We bought this 6 months ago and absolutely LOVED it. Until recently when on the Baking mode set at 350F it only reaches 250F (i used oven thermometer) I double check against our large oven in case the oven therm. was faulty - but it reached the correct temperature)

Glad I bought this oven, works excellent for the two of us.No need to heat up that large oven.Love the preheat feature heats up fast, going to be great in summer No hot kitchen. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

I have to start by saying wow!!! I cannot believe how great this countertop oven is!! Granted, I have used countertop ovens in the past but this one blows them all out of the water!!!!! Design: I like how it resembles a traditional oven. The glass door allows me to see my food as it is cooking and ensures I don't burn anything lol!! I like the depth as well. I can fit a 12" pizza pan in without having to worry about cutting the pizza up and doing have at a time because with this oven, it all fits in!! Usability: Very easy to use!! Instructions are included but I feel like everything is standard and self explanatory. The digital display looks really good and I absolutely love the preheating function!! When I'm mixing up my recipes, I can easily preheat the oven so that it's ready when I need it. I can bake, broil, reheat, etc. Everything works like a charm and I've yet to have anything not cook all the way through. Food is done fast, taste delicious, and it's all done right on my counter. Overall Opinion: Hands down, definitely a 5 star item!! I have no negative comments at all and feel that this countertop oven is the future of countertop ovens. It looks great, is built great, works great, and makes food taste just like or possibly better than a traditional oven!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I'm so impressed with this toaster oven - I think it's the best one I've ever had in my life!! I've had the pleasure of using the Kitchen-Aid Digital Countertop oven for over a week now, and here's my pro's and cons list: Pros: -A long power cord -A wide & long handle that opens/closes the glass door -So easy to open and close the glass door while I'm cooking -Easy to clean inside and out -Very attractive!! I really like the black & chrome strip in the front -The size of the oven fits perfectly in my small area of counterspace, between my oven and refridgerator without compromising the rest of the counterspace -Made with quality overall, including the enamel-coated pan w/chrome plated steel broiling rack -2 levels that the oven rack can be moved to (top & bottom, depending on what you're cooking). -Easy to understand mode knob and timer knob, with digital display of temperature number -Inside of the oven is easy to clean, with a little soap & water on a sponge -LCD display to adjust temperature is bright and easy to see, and can be adjusted even if the oven has set temperatures -When I had the mode knob on "Reheat", I click start and it automatically preheats, then sets it's own temperature and time! I reheated leftovers, pizza, and baked chicken, and they all came out as good as it tasted when I first made it! -When I had the mode knob on "Bake", I baked a large potato. I set it to 400 degrees for an hour, then realized it was close to being cooked - the timer allowed me to increase the time very easily (needed an extra 15 min) and it came out pefect!! Cooked throughout, and fluffy when I cut into it. -When I had the mode knob on "Toaster", the toaster asks how many slices to toast AND the shade of the toast!! 3 shades toasts just right. -The guide that was included is extremely helpful and easy to follow/read. -When it finishes preheating, it let's out a chime sound, then the countdown timer starts. Then when my food was done cooking, another chime sounded off -It has a cool down surface on top of the oven -The oven doesn't get too overheated at high temperatures -Presett options, i.e. bagels, pizza dial mode works awesome. -The oven shuts off automatically after cooking, which is a great feature!! My last oven would just stay on after cooking. Cons: -The chrome strip in front of the oven tends to get very hot, so I needed to be aware not to touch that surface. I'm hoping the chrome doesn't change color or become dull from being hot. -Chimes need to be a little louder (not sure if they can be adjusted). In summary, this oven is very user friendly and I highly recommend it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I like this because when a regular oven is just too big to cook a smaller item this is aces.I cooked Small pizzas/breaded chicken and fish/Breakfast muffins and many other foods.I like how it preheats and you have a count down timer.Small enough to fit on counter with plenty of space to put other items.Just needs louder chime when food is done.Overall great to have.

This is a very attractive, compact and functional countertop oven. It has all the capabilities to toast, bake, broil and do just about everything your kitchen main oven provides…a multi-task appliance. I toasted flat bread and bagels and they were heated and toasted to perfection. The oven's quality design allows you to easily select functions and read the large-scale digital display. It's a bit oversized yet it still fit comfortably on our countertop. The oven accommodates a 9" baking pan (provided) that can be used for steaks, hamburgers, pizza and all kinds of breads. After testing all its functions, everything cooked in the oven was completed with no heating issues. Although, the unit is protected via stainless steel, it will become hot to touch no matter what function you are using. It remains a very well insulated unit that contains the heat without a blast to the outside. If you need to have the oven pre-heated before baking, etc. I found it took anywhere from 3 to 4 minutes to pre-heat…that is very fast. I've had Kitchen Aid products in my kitchen for years and they all performed well. This countertop oven is well representative of being built and designed for long term use. You will also find the learning mode to utilize all its functions is non-complicated thereby making it a most useful appliance when you don't want to fire-up your main kitchen oven…a great substitute and energy saver. I give this oven a 4-STAR rating. It would have received a 5 rating had the oven been a little less obtrusive on the countertop. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
