MaxiMatic ETO-113 Elite Cuisine 2-Slice Toaster Oven with 15 Minute Timer, White

I built an outdoor movie theater in my backyard for this upcoming season. We also built a concession stand. I wanted something that we could cook small pizzas, hot dogs, and soft pretzels. This little toaster oven is perfect! It is really small, so easy for storage. It has a removable tray to place your food on. There are settings for broil, bake, and toast along with a 15 minute timer that dings when your food is done. We tested it out this weekend and put hotdogs on the tray. I was able to fit 4 bun length hot dogs on broil for 10 minutes and we had 4 nicely cooked hot dogs. I haven't tried the pizzas or pretzels, but I am guessing they will cook just as nice. Clean up on this was quick and easy. I rag and some warm soapy water cleaned the tray right up! I am excited to put this to use for our concession stand this season!

UPDATE 9-10-18Another reviewer said there was no way to get rid of the crumbs at the bottom unless you shake it out over the sink. That is TRUE--THERE IS NO CRUMB TRAY AND YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BOTTOM. THE ONLY WAY TO GET CRUMBS OUT IS BY UNPLUGGING AND SHAKING THE ENTIRE TOASTER OVER THE SINK. DUE TO THIS ANNOYANCE, I HAVE REDUCED THIS REVIEW BY ONE STAR.This is the smallest toaster I have ever seen. I live in a tiny New York City apartment and for years I avoided getting a toaster due to lack of space, but this toaster is perfect for me. It fits exactly two slices of bread OR two bagel halves OR a 6" Subway sandwich OR a small slice of pizza (2 slices of "Sicilian" style pizza).I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 because on the first day I had it, I place something small on top of the toaster for a few seconds and then removed it and noticed a small scratch. So it scratches easily. But what do you expect for only $20 ?!?!

I have been searching locally for an inexpensive small toaster oven to warm food and make toast at my office. I could not find one for less than $35 plus tax anywhere close to home, and was thrilled to find this darling little oven on Amazon for less than $20. It arrived yesterday (Friday) and I can't wait to take it with me to work on Monday. I am so happy to have it! Coupled with my little Black & Decker DCM18S Brew 'n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug, plus the undercounter refrigerator, I can now make oatmeal, toast, sandwiches, and more.Today I ran the bake cycle for 5 minutes and a puff of smoke drifted out the right side vent. Then I ran a light toast cycle. Both cycles gave off alittle burning smell (no food was inside the oven while testing). But I believe this is normal for a new toaster oven appliance, and will dissipate with use. Also I noticed the timer continues to tick for 10-15 seconds after the elements go out. I suppose this is some type of cooling cycle.Currently Amazon offers this oven in both white and black. The following is included with this oven: removable rack to support included baking pan. The rack does not move when the oven door is opened. The rack does not move and is stable while the baking pan is removed from oven. The baking pan measures 6 inches deep and 9 inches long. The oven easily holds two slices of "old fashioned" grocery store type bread, two poptarts, two Eggo type waffles, or one slice of Stouffer's type french bread pizza. There is plenty of room to toast two sandwiches at once (two pieces of bread on top of each other) made with normal grocery store bread. Oven electrical cord is 36 inches long. There is no broiling rack included, just a pan for baking. This was not an issue for me. There is no crumb tray. The product manual advises to hold the oven over a trash can (with oven door open) to shake out any crumbs.The reason I only gave 4 stars is because the oven arrived with one bottom leg slightly bent and a large dent on the removable baking pan. This did not sway me though, and both problems were quickly fixed. I did not want to return/exchange and wait for another oven to arrive, as these defects did not affect the oven's performance.I looked at many less than $30 toaster ovens on Amazon, read the reviews, and considered all the pros and cons. None of the reviews for this oven mentioned fire, which was important to me. Who wants an oven that could catch on fire? The majority of reviewers love this oven. The negative reviews primarily complained about its small size or ticking timer, which is exactly what I need. Aren't timers supposed to tick? This oven will be in a back room at my office. The timer will allow me to continue working at my desk while food is cooking. I won't have to jump up and down to check and see when it's finished, because the timer will alert me when it's done.The one thing that almost swayed me to another toaster oven was the lack of product photos. So today I uploaded photos of this appliance. I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this cute little oven, and will post an update on its performance in about six months.

Yes, this is a COMPACT, SMALL Toaster Oven that Works as Advertised. After reading the positive and negative reviews, we ordered and tested the MaxiMatic ETO-113 Elite Cuisine 2-Slice Toaster Oven TO TAKE ON ROAD TRIPS with us to use with Toaster Hash Browns, Toast and Bagels (one or two at a time). It is lightweight, COMPACT, and works according to its specifications. NO, it is not a small oven. Our regular, at home toaster oven (medium to large) works for more stuff, and cooks faster, but the MaxiMatic ETO-113 will toast two SMALL pieces of toast (or ONE LARGE SLICE OF SOURDOUGH), or two grocery style toaster hash browns, or one medium (regular-sized) bagel. The timer worked fine, but is not precise. Yes, you have to keep an eye on the item toasting, rotating as necessary, so you get it the desired toastiness (see how I created a new word there), but we have to do that with our other toaster oven too. Don't know about the durability, but construction suggests it should hold up fine. Packaging and shipping worked fine. We will use the product box to carry on our trips.

I bought this item because of its small size and my limited counter space. Also, I wanted a simple machine that I could operate even before having my coffee. It toasts most things as expected, except (oddly indeed) English muffins. In this case the heat turns itself off long before the muffins are toasted; several minutes must then pass before it can be restarted, and even this second phase is cut short. More troubling, after a few months use, the timer is now unreliable, working some times and not others. One day soon I will put this toaster in the trash.
