Oster TSSTTVFDDG-B French Door Toaster Oven, Extra Large, Black

Easily to use fits in all different locations I highly recommend

This thing is a BEAST! I purchased this because I have no oven in my apartment and wanted the option to be able to cook and this toaster oven does NOT disappoint. So far everyone that has been over to my place has complimented on how awesome it looks. Then I cook them some bomb food and they love it.The buttons are a little mushy and require a little more pressure then I find is necessary for a touch sensor button. Also the power cord is pretty short so make sure the outlet is close by or you'll need an extension cord. Two prong so no biggie.I've noticed that the toasting option doesn't visibly display a countdown to let you know when it's done. I've tried different options and can't seem to get a counter going. It does display a shading number though starting at 4 and then automatically shuts off when it has that shade. I think it does it in terms of quarters. So 4 is pretty much whole thing toasted. 3 = 75%. Etc. I usually stick with 3 since 4 sometimes overcooks just a little.Baking is a lot simpler. Set the temp, lights come on to tell you it's preheating. Lets out a chime when it's ready. From there it gives you an actual timer that you can feel free to set to your liking. Default is around 20 minutes or so. Just add or subtract however much you need. Lots of room in this behemoth. Doors stay open automatically once you've open the doors to their full swing. I saw another reviewer saying they shut on their own but that's not the case. Just open them up all the way and they'll stay open.The clock seems to work fine. Have noticed other people saying they've had issues with theirs but mine seems to be okay and I've had it for a bit now. Will update should anything arise.Overall, this thing is absolutely amazing.UPDATE 10/20/2021I'm noticing some other reviewers complaining about exploding doors and doors not staying open. I can comfortably say I've been using this toaster oven pretty much every day for 3 years and have not had a single problem with it. No exploding doors and the doors stay open as strong as they did 3 years ago. The only reason I can think of for the doors breaking is if you slam the doors shut or allow them to. If you repeatedly treat the toaster oven like it's your personal gimp, of course it's not gonna last. Just treat the oven well and it will last you as long as mine has.

Before I even start the review, I would (even now) buy it again. We now often roast things where it seemed heating a standard oven would have been overkill (at least). My sister has always had a toaster oven, and now I know why. First, the shortcomings:Temp setting: you can only jump in 25-degree increments. So I regularly have to kinda do oven math (if the temp is 15 degrees higher/lower than you want, how much longer/shorter should it cook?)Basic functions: I am NOT a fan of the push button/pad interface. Often it takes repeated pressings of the pad/button to shut it off, raise temp, or add time. Like 3-4 presses to get an increment increase. I fully expect oft-used pads to wear out far too soon because of this. There are no other options for changing settings but up/down buttons/pads.Temp: I have an oven thermometer in it, and it will beep (signaling it’s preheated) and the temp is about 25 degrees lower than I’ve set it. That’s not fatal for starting baked potatoes or quarter sheets of veggies - but it might be for your use. It eventually comes up to proper temp. (But never by the beep.) And front to back temps are different, so for tender stuff, turning your bakeware during cooking might be necessary.Now the upside(s): countertop convenience, the doors (once fully opened) stay that way and open one-handed(!!!), a wonderful cheese melter feature (broiler), the removable bottom tray has some nonstick properties... most stuff scrubs off easily after some soaking, never though I’d like the “warm” feature but I do, and even with my complaints, I’m still VERY happy with the purchase. I started with a standard size and decided to go all in (larger) when I tired of balancing baking potatoes on the side of a tray of chicken nuggets and leaning against the oven walls (in the standard size). Lol. Now, a half sheet pan of roasting veggies on one rack, russets on the other, with a quarter sheet of some plant-based patty slid in at the right time so it’s done all at once. Yep, roasting bliss. Until you have to shut off the timer and you’re pressing tha dang button 4 times!
