Continental Electric EM83521 Emerson 4-Slice Toaster Oven

Pros: warms and cooks great when a microwave won't do.

Cons: hot on outside when using.

Other Thoughts: great price

Pros: Does what its supposed to do and does it well

Cons: Very cheaply made. Make sure you keep an eye on it when you cook and unplug it when you are done.

Pros: Better than nothing I guess

Cons: Burns the bread at the back of the oven while barely touching the bread located towards the front.

Takes a very long time to make toast.

Other Thoughts: My search for a decent toaster continues.

Guess I have to spend a LOT of money to get a good one.

Pros: it was on sale with free shipping

Cons: No way can you fit 4 slices toast... Can't find where to place 2 slices and somewhat evenly toast them - the back third of unit is burnt by the time front 2 thirds gets done. I can't imagine (have not tried) using it for anything else as uneven as it heats.

Other Thoughts: even as cheap as it was, wasn't worth it.

Pros: A good, basic toaster oven that works great. I use it mostly to heat biscuits and pizza slices and it does a fantastic job. There are two levels for the wire rack, and it comes with a pan that can either slide under the wire rack to catch drippings or can be used on top of the wire rack to toast or cook items on. I put aluminum foil on the pan and cook on that, so after many uses now, it still looks brand new.

Cons: It's small, but I needed a small oven due to space limitations. The timer is an "egg timer" type in that it sort of winds up and clicks as it winds down, but it works good and is accurate, and ends by ringing a bell, which is good enough for me.

Other Thoughts: If you need a good, small toaster oven this is it.

Pros: Makes my pita pizzas great in the lab, catch tray is a nice feature.

Cons: The ding after the timer reaches zero sounds like a microwave from 1992.
