"Good toaster for the price"
After reading other reviews about toaster ovens in the same price range, we decided on this one and so far we have been very pleased with it. It toasts evenly and quickly and bakes/reheats well too. The top of the oven does get very hot so you wouldn't want rest anything on it or have small children near it when its on, but I've found that that is true of other toaster ovens I've owned. I love how the shelf "pops" out when you open it so that you don't have to reach in and risk getting burned. It does have "odd" oven temperatures but I have found that easy to work around. It could be slightly bigger--4 slices of toast is a very tight fit. The stainless steel look is nice and matches the rest of the appliances in the kitchen.

"Why is this rated so highly?"
I bought this item on the strength of the good reviews. After going through about five toaster ovens, this is the second worst one I have owned. You can't adjust the temperature; you can't simply "bake"; the back of this oven comes down at a sharp angle so it's hard to fit in items that are taller than 1" or you end of with smoke; it absolutely can't toast without leaving burn marks all over the bread. All in all, a poorly designed toaster oven that is going straight to the garbage once I purchase a new one.

"Good Functinal Toaster Oven"
This was top-rated in Consumer Reports. Does a nice job browning all-around and toasting is even. I was disappointed that it did not have a Top Brown feature, but it seems unnecessary in a convection oevn.

"nice Convection Oven"
This is a nice oven, takes a little while to get used to since it heats up faster than a regular toaster oven. If heating up a bagel on 320º it will burn it, so set it to a lower temp. Works very well.

"Not Very Reliable"
This toaster originally worked just fine, but 18 months out, it has started making a horrible noise in the convection fan. And of course this is just outside the 12 month warranty. Their customer support was useless -- "It's probably cheaper to buy a new one than have this one serviced. There are no Sanyo small appliance service centers". I'll tell you right now we're not going to replace it with anything from Sanyo!!
