Great toaster oven, some minor issues
By John W. Graham
I purchased this toaster oven because I wanted to use it to heat smaller items such as a frozen french bread pizza or bake cookies without heating up the larger oven.

The grill is a nice size - it doesn't take up too much kitchen space, though it is taller than most toaster ovens I have seen. Opening the box, you will see two aluminum cookie sheets which I initially thought were packing materials to protect the item during shipping. Setting up the toaster oven doesn't take too long despite the fact that the manual doesn't mention much about initial setup. You kind of just have to figure it out with common sense.

The first thing I tried was heating one of those non-microwavable frozen dinners. I was surprised at how quickly the oven heated. Unfortunately, when turning the timer knob, it cracked and broke. I am contacting the company for a replacement. This is annoying me now because the timer either counts down from 30 minutes or can be set to "st ay on". Obviously, with a cracked knob it is difficult to set the timer.

The oven does generate some heat when cooking - enough heat that I had to move the toaster oven out from my original location which was under the cabinet and next to the side of the refrigerator.

I tried baking some cookies - and it does fairly well except that the cookie sheet doesn't hold very many cookies. I used the two supplied "cookie sheets" and placed the racks so that they were evenly dispersed from top to bottom. (You'll know what I'm talking about when you see the shaped racks). The cookies came out OK - I had to leave the top rack of cookies in a bit longer than the bottom but they both came out fine.

The keep warm feature is nice. The plastic thing at top that is supposed to warm bread does just that...you put cooked bread in it and it keeps the bread warm.

I have not tried the rotisserie feature but plan to use it this weekend with a 3.75 lb . chicken. Overall I am satisfied with the oven. I give it 5 stars despite the minor annoyances such as the broken plastic knob and cheap quality cookie sheets.

UPDATE 11/25/2005:
Salton quickly replaced the broken knobs free of charge. I have not had any other issues with the knobs cracking. The unit does cook a rotisserie chicken very well but the bird can't be too large (or it will hit the sides and/or heating elements). One shortcoming I did not mention in the review is that the glass door does get quite hot during use. Parents should exercise caution when kids are using the oven. I do find myself using this toaster oven every day. Very useful product.

You'll love this toaster oven!
By A. Danke
I am a very picky consumer when it comes to replacing things that are going to last a long time--if I'm going to be stuck with it I want to be happy.

My toaster oven of 12 years recently died so I did a lot of research into all the different brands and latest technology. I was intrigued by the rotisserie feature of this toaster oven and liked the quality that I saw in the department store. So I took it home.

This is what I like most about this toaster oven:
1. Can toast about 6 pieces of bread at one time.
2. Can be used as a rotisserie in addition to oven.
3. Actually toasts(!) even though it has all the other features
4. Not too big, not too small
5. The timer dial has a reasonable amount of space between light and dark toast so you can actually tell where you are turning it to. (Some toaster dials don't seem to have any space at all, so how can you tell what you are getting?
6. It comes with a handle tool thing (don't know what to call it) that you can use to pull the racks or cooking pans out with so you don't have to use hot pads.

Little things I don't like:
1. If you don't open the door far enough, it slams shut. With a solid glass door I worry that I'm going to break it but it seems to be sturdy enough.
2. The accessory drawer in the bottom doesn't really hold much of anything.
3. It has two baking racks so I recently tried to put 18 taco shells on the two racks. Well, the tacos on the bottom rack were too close to the element in the bottom so they burned.

To sum it up, I took a chance on this one because it has only been out for a short while, and I think it is well worth the money!

1/4/06 UPDATE:
I reviewed this toaster shortly after I bought it in May 2005. Just wanted to say that I LOVE it even more after six months than when I bought it--it's the best toaster oven I've ever had! I can cook six waffles in the morning, cook a To tino's-size frozen pizza, and even use it as a second oven for smaller dishes (8x8 and 7x11 fit fine, 9x13 is too big). Since I only have one wall oven, this was a great help during the holidays. And since you can fit a regular dinner plate inside, I regularly use the "keep warm" function--especially when making pancakes. The glass door does get quite hot, but they all do. I have a four- and six-year-old and they manage to use it without burning themselves. If you are looking for something small, this isn't the one. But if you have a family of 4+ and/or actually want to use it as a second smaller oven, you'll probably be very happy with this one.

Jack of all trades, master of none
By Michelle Trombetta
We purchased the George Foreman 8 in 1 with the thought we would get the toaster oven we needed and some other features that would be nice to have. The 8 in 1 does have alot of neat features, the issue is it doesn't do any of the features very well. The toaster feature takes about 2 times as long to toast as a smaller, more conventional toaster oven. The Rotisserie is difficult to use and the grease catcher woefully inadequate. We found out the hard way when we had chicken grease overflow out of the grill and onto the counter. I can see this being a very good item for those with very small kitchens and in need of saving space, however, be warned that this oven has many shortcomings.
