 Excellent appliance for the price. January 24, 2007

I'm giving this convection/toaster 5 stars based on it's performance at it's price range and class. You can spend 3-4 times as much on a professional countertop convection oven like the Franklin convection oven (Amazon ASIN: B000BQ0CP6) for $250 and get a better product. However, I've used both and by comparison I think you really get your money's worth with this product.
We've had ours for about a month now and use it daily. The results are amazing. I've made numerous frozen pizzas, a meatloaf, cookies, brownies, loads of toast and lots of french fries among other things. The oven performed quite well in all cases. There is definitely a little bit of a learning curve and I goofed up a few things before I figured out how to use it. I would definitely recommmend reading the directions and following many of the recommendations for rack and food placement. That is actually very important.
Some examples of "tweaks" are as follows: With brownies you need a lower temperature than the box states when using convection and you might want to use a combination of convection and regular baking for cakes and browines.
With chocolate chip cookies you want to go with straight convection heat and depending on the mix you use you'll need to tweak the cycle. Cookies bake in much less time but you can get abolutely perfect and uniformly colored cookies! No more burnt bottoms! For example Ghiardelli dry cookie mix from the box cooks a little differently than the frozen dough that comes in a chub, even though the baking instructions on the packages are about the same. As you might expect you can only make about 6 average cookies, or biscuits at a time.
The convection bake is excellent for making all kinds of frozen french fries that come out perfect every time. Spring rolls come out great. The oven has several pre-programed cycles, a light, a timer, and every cycle offers the opportunity to tweak the temperature and/or time. There is a nice light inside the unit that makes it easy to check food.
Other notes: When making toast be sure to follow the directions for setting the rack.
Major Plusses:
1. Holds a very consistent temperature
2. Does a very good job on many types of food - better than a conventional oven
3. Produces very uniformly cooked foods
4. Cooks many foods in less time
5. Bottom tray is easy to remove and clean
6. Easy to use
A few drawbacks:
1. It does not quite fit most 9 x 13 pans, but will cook 12 inch pizzas.
2. It does get hot and you need to be careful how you open it and where you put your hands.
3. It only comes with one shelf. I would like two shelves for making cookies.
4. There is a bit of a "learning curve" if you're not used to convection
5. The oven operated at a slightly higher temperature than what my oven thermometer reads, but it holds at one, even temperature very well and it was consistently about the same difference at all ranges from 300 to 450. I'm honestly not sure which temperature was more correct, the oven's or my thermometer's. Based on my baking, the oven may be running a tad hotter than it says but it's easy to adjust. I would recommend checking your oven, as they may differ.
Very pleased August 9, 2006

I purchased this convection toaster oven at costco's for $60.00. I've used it to make choc chip cookies and egg rolls so far. I've only had it a few days. It cooked everything perfect. The cookies normally bake 20 min, but using the convection bake, it took 12 mins. I am very, very pleased so far and can't wait to try other things. Perfect for my son to use. No longer heating big oven for small portions. Definitely recommend at any price. Also, good free oster Customer service for any questions you may have.
Loving Our First Toaster Oven January 2, 2007

I did a lot of research online before finally buying this toaster oven at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It was $89.99 but I paid about $40 for it using the 20% off mail coupon and a $30 gift card, so got a really great deal on a quality machine. It's a nice compact size compared to larger toaster ovens, yet it accomplishes the same tasks. Being digital, you don't have to worry about knobs breaking or melting, like I've read in other toaster oven reviews. It's only 17" wide and has 12" depth for pizzas and other roomy items, so it fits nicely in a corner on my countertop - and I have a small to average-sized kitchen so I don't have much counter space to spare.
It has two racks inside and any size of frozen pizzas along with most of my casserole dishes fit inside with no problem. I did buy a set of toaster oven pans for cookies & muffins and a smaller pizza pan too, which also work great inside. If the oven is preheated, our toast only takes three minutes to toast on the golden brown setting; or toasting on a cookie sheet quickens toasting time and makes crumb clean up a breeze. The toast also comes out less dry than pop-up toasters. It has a nice beeping feature to let you know when it's preheated to the temperature you want and it's super-fast to preheat, only two minutes! Also when your timer is up, it beeps three series of short successive beeps which can be heard the same as a microwave timer.
This toaster oven is actually similar to a microwave oven but with all the great oven features inside. The stainless steel exterior and body design are very visually appealing, the oven itself functions great and it's also a convenient size for limited countertop space. The only small complaint I have is that the digital cooking timer isn't actually a clock also, so it sits on "000" when you're not using the oven, and it always looks like a clock that hasn't been set. But that's just a personal pet peeve of mine. For our first toaster oven I'd give this 5 stars overall!
**EDIT**I checked my model number and it is actually #6248, so that explains why I don't have the clock feature, otherwise everything else is the same. Also as mentioned in numerous other reviews, you have to use extra caution because of how hot the outside gets, (as with any toaster oven). I'm always extra careful yet last week I was reaching behind it after cooking something, and I got a 4 inch long burn on my upper arm when it touched the the back corner. So be careful at all times!
So far, very good January 17, 2008

I've owned this oven for only one day, but I have already made good use of it. My pork chops and vegetables were very tender, especially considering the short amount of time it took for them to get done. My banana bread cooked in an amazingly short amount of time, cooked evenly, and rose the highest that my banana bread has ever risen--very fluffy. The oven does not take up as much counter space as I had feared it would, and it is more conveniently located than my conventional oven. Because my dishes are almost at eye level when they bake, it is more difficult to forget about them than it is when they are in a conventional oven underneath a rangetop.
My only regrets are that there is a small space between the sides of the door and the oven out of which heat escapes and that with only a bit more space inside the oven, 9"X13" pans would fit there. Otherwise, I am perfectly happy with the product thus far. Time will tell. . .
Time has told. My original review was written in January of 2008. It is now May, and I have yet to use my conventional oven even once since buying my Oster convection toaster oven! As a matter of fact, I like it so much that I have now bought a second one!
Love this! May 5, 2007

My wife and I love this convection oven. We got it as a xmas gift and use it almost daily. For a small family with a single child, you can cook a lot of meals in this w/out having to heat up an oven or while using the oven.
Personally, I love making frozen pizzas and hot sandwiches in it. It doesn't replace my toaster but makes a lot of things you can't make in a toaster. And the convection fan heats a lot quicker and more evenly.
