TOSHIBA AC25CEW-BS Large 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven Countertop, 10-In-One with Toast, Pizza and Rotisserie, 1500W, Black Stainless Steel, Includes 6 Accessories

The media could not be loaded. My review in short:Absolutely love this! Great quality once you learn how to use it, which isn't difficult.Disclaimer #1:This toaster oven DOES preheat, however not in the way a typical kitchen oven does. For example, once you select your heating option, temperature, and press "start" the temperature number on the screen will begin to blink continuously and the heating coils will begin to turn red as it heats up. Once the unit gets to the desired temperature the temperature number will stop blinking and the coils will turn off and now the unit will be ready for food to be put in as you would in a standard kitchen oven. Just know that there will be no "beep" or sound to notify you of this, only the blinking of the temperature number, so you have to pay attention. Once you place your food inside you'll then need to readjust your cooking time to your desired time frame as the cooking time unfortunately has to run while the toaster preheats. Small issue, so no big deal. Disclaimer #2:If I were you I would use to the cooking tray that comes with this unit to put my food on to cook. This definitely helps in keeping this toaster oven clean and preventing anything falling to the bottom and potentially burning or starting a fire. Also, if you do use the tray I would cover it with either a sheet of parchment paper or line it with aluminum foil for each cook. This helps making clean up easier. I did notice that the tray, for some reason rusted a little bit after a few uses. Since I have been lining the tray with aluminum foil and/or parchment paper the rusting has stopped. So just something to keep in mind.Disclaimer #3:This unit can get HOT. Storing things on top of this unit while the unit is cooking is a bad idea and guaranteed to burn. I would say that anything within 6 inches of the sides, rear or on top of the unit will melt/burn while it's cooking.Cooking ability/Usage:I needed a toaster oven so I wouldn't have to keep using my kitchen oven. I haven't had any issues in foods not cooking thoroughly. So far everything has cooked great. I literally cook or reheat most foods in here. Thanks to the low temperature setting I have even cooked ribs in here. I have also cooked my Thanksgiving whole turkey breast in here.Size:Great compact size for cooking decent sized foods. For toast, I'd say you'd probably be able to cook 4-6 slices of regular sized bread in here at one time. Notifications:As I said in my "Disclaimer #1" section, this unit does preheat, but it will not alert you with a sound once it has reached the desired temperature. The temperature number that was selected will simply stop blinking. However, it does notify you with a beep once the selected cooking time has ended with 3-4 decent volume beeps. This unit will also beep once every time you plug it in as it turns on. Definitely will be loud in a quiet house. Cooking Settings:This unit comes with 10 different settings which cover a wide variety of cooking options like "Toast", "Pizza", "Cookies", "Broil", "Bake", "Rotisserie" which by the way, also comes with a rotisserie spit and will spin the meat as it's cooked, "Convection", "Keep Warm", "Defrost", and "Reheat". There are also signs on the unit door that instruct the user on best locations to put the rack for each setting for best cooking outcome. Overall:I give this unit a 5 out of 5 for my usage. It definitely beats having to waste money using my big kitchen oven for small cooking usage. I would highly recommend.

I love this toaster oven! After more than 5 years of searching for a good quality toaster oven both in stores and online, and being continually disappointed by how tinny and cheaply made most of them seemed to be even at 3 times the cost of this Toshiba, I'd spotted this one on Amazon and decided in desperation to take a chance on it due to the many good reviews it already had. I've not regretted that impulse for as much as a moment, and have thoroughly enjoyed using this toaster oven.It looks great on my counter, is more sturdy than any toaster ovens I had looked at in stores for MANY years, and works great! Since I already had both a built-in Wolf convection wall oven and a built-in Wolf convection microwave oven, I hadn't cared whether the toaster oven had a convection feature or not, but am now glad it did, because I use that feature a great deal more often than I'd ever thought I would. As with most toaster ovens, the exterior of this one does get hot, but not frightenly so. I'd purchased a black silicone 9x12" mat from Amazon to place on the top of it to diffuse some of the heat from rising to the cabinets above, but mainly so I could place a couple of extra toaster oven pans on it when the oven was in use--when not in use, I store the clean nested pans in the toaster oven. (Amazon has some great options available for extra stainless steel toaster oven pans, and a 12x10x1" is a bit larger than the standard pans for this size toaster oven, but fits it perfectly.) I'd read one review by someone who'd returned their oven because the display sometimes fogged a little with steam when the convection feature was used. It does do that slightly, but the display remains clear enough to see even when it does, it also clears up again as soon as the oven cools, and has not negatively affected the operation of the oven whatsoever in the 2 years that I've been using mine. I truly love this toaster oven!This Toshiba actually surpasses the former great toaster oven it had taken me years to find this replacement for, since the design of it, especially the sturdy base of it, is far superior to the old one I'd had for more than 20 years. That one had been a quality toaster oven also, and had still been working like a champ, but it's one design flaw had been that one of the legs on it had broken, and I'd grown tired of crazy gluing it back on every few months or so, yet couldn't find any new ones in stores that had been nearly as good as my old one--until finding this Toshiba! This Toshiba actually exceeded my expectations in every way, and I have been delighted with it since the very moment of taking it out of the box, because the quality and design of it had not only surpassed the much favored old toaster oven I'd liked so well, but also the design and quality of the many, many others I had looked at in all sorts of stores over the years, too. I'd expected I'd likely have to resign myself to settling for a toaster oven somewhat inferior to the one I had enjoyed using for many years, so opening the box to discover that this Toshiba was vastly superior to any others I had seen was a nearly transcendent experience. If you've suffered through trying to replace any good quality small kitchen appliance in the past decade or so, you'll certainly understand what I mean. All too often one has to end up settling for appliances that are more cheaply made, cease to work after only a few months, or don't work at all right out of the box! I'll be keeping the Toshiba brand in mind when making any future purchases, because I could not have been more pleased with the purchase of this toaster oven!
