Alas, nobody seemed to make anything like it. They tended to be larger, and didn't do a good job toasting bread. After reading lost of discouraging reviews and trying a couple of toaster ovens, we had just about given up, when we saw the Toastation. What a great little unit! Makes great toast, nice and fast like a toaster should (through a slot in the top). Then flip a switch, and the top slot closes and it turns into a nice little oven. It doesn't hog the whole counter (outside dimensions: 15" wide, 7 1/2 deep, and 8 high). The inside of the oven is small (6 1/2" deep by 10 1/2" wide by 2" high), so don't plan on baking pizza in it. UPDATE SEPT 2015: It's still going strong, 10 years later! Best kitchen appliance purchase ever! |

It's a toaster and an oven. The top slot works like a 2 slice toaster while the oven will fit 2 slices of pizza and is great for fries, chicken nuggets, and more.thermodynamics in play.... Yes, it works perfectly. Provided you correct for a small physics and engineering problem in the design. This toaster/toaster oven is designed so that the wide opening for toasting bagels, english muffins, and fat waffles or bread has a sliding cover that moves into place with the flip of a lever. Once the cover is in place, all the heating upper elements are reflected downward toward the little toaster oven (6" x 9" max -- with a pan included). The lower heating elements then toast or heat from the bottom. Which is a great idea. Better to use the appliance that is the right size for the job, rather than heating a large oven for a small snack and wasting all that energy. However -- The metal plate that slides across the bagel toaster opening is just a thin piece of metal with no seals of any kind -- so if left just closed, half the heat (or more) inside the toaster oven pours out the top, around the edges of the thin metal... |
