davidbangs's Full Review: Oster 6295 Toaster Oven with Convection Cooking
We bought this at Target. We loved the idea that it would fit a pizza and 6 slices of bread. We loved the idea that with the convection feature, it could cook more efficiently and evenly.
Well, almost. This six-slice toaster oven fits FIVE slices of bread if you arrange them cleverly, or 6 round Eggo waffles. We did fit in a small frozen pizza, and it cooked nicely.
But the convection fan is so loud! Do you want a lawn mower in your kitchen? The whole flimsy metal case vibrates. I've never even imagined that a kitchen appliance could be that loud.
Also, the outside gets extremely hot. This is not normal. Our older toaster oven is *much* cooler to the touch on the top and sides. It has to be, because if it got as hot as the Oster, its plastic case would melt.
The two ovens are the same size on the outside, but Oster made its inside larger by getting rid of all the insulation. It leaks so much heat that the heating elements never turns off. Trying to heat the whole house is not very energy efficient.
We couldn't just replace our existing toaster oven with this, because the nearby plastic items on the counter would melt and the fruit would be ruined. So, it might as well be considerably larger.
On second thought, we're taking it back. Our old 4-slice toaster oven suddenly seems quite fine, thank you.
Tip: Plastic appliances aren't my favorite, but if you get a toaster oven with a plastic case, you know it must be insulated and won't take up extra "heat" space on the counter.
Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon snack, this versatile six-slice toaster oven features an extra-large capacity and convection technology...More at eBay
