Aroma ABT-208S 4-Slice Stainless Steel Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this as a gift for Christmas, and my wife and I are about to go dig our 10-year old Krups one out of the garage. About the only thing this one has going for it is that it looks fairly nice. The things about our Krups that we really miss on this one:

* On the Krups, you set one dial for how dark you want the toast, and push down a lever to tell it to start toasting. On this one, you have to set the oven temp to "Toast" then use the timer dial to make it go. This means that you have to remember/guess where on the dial results in the kind of toast you like.

* On the Krups, you could easily tell where the temperature was set. On this one, it's almost impossible to tell one end of the temperature dial form the other (it's pure black on black), so you often end up getting 150 degrees when you wanted 450, or vice versa. Because of this problem, you also often get 200 degrees when you want "toast", which means you end up with warm bread instead of toast. Very frustrating early in the morning.

* On the Krups, when you opened the door, two hooks automatically pulled the oven rack out an inch or two, meaning you didn't have to reach as far into a hot oven to retrieve your food/toast.

So, while it's not a HORRIBLE toaster, but it's pretty bad, and I'm busy looking for a good 4-slice toaster oven that's stainless steel (or similar) on the outside that includes the features I mentioned above. Suggestions, anyone?
