Not bad, not great
I have been wanting this toaster for a couple months. Finally the price dropped enough and I got it.
There are a few points you should consider before purchasing.
1. It toasts well and the oven function is great.
2. I have had this item for about two months now and it is working fine.
3. When trying to manually eject the toast, it is quite difficult but if you have your "darkness level" set correctly, it shouldn't be a problem.
4. The door is a bit hard to clean. It would be helpful if the door would actually come off to allow for better cleaning.
Over all I would say this a fine toaster. Let's face it, it is a toaster, not a computer.

Convenient, not super great
This "toaster oven toaster" is not a bad purchase. It was somewhat well-priced and I do use it everyday. Although, what other reviewers say is true. The tops of whatever you put in the oven will burn if put at 350 degrees or higher. A pizza slice, bagels, etc. have to be closed monitored. And while one section will burn, the other side of your pizza or bagel will barely get a browning.
The toaster function I don't even use, the toaster will heat so slowly that anything coming out of the freezer or fridge will bend b/c it will melt before toasting. And if it's bread you're toasting, it will have the toast marks on the center, but not the top or bottom of the toast.
It's very difficult to remove something from the toaster early, I've found I have to switch it from toaster to oven and back to toaster to get it let go of the food.
The last negative is: it's not easy to clean. I had to throw away the crumb pan it has in the oven about 6 months ago because any little thing would get stuck to it. It has a lot of nooks and crevices for crumbs to fall into, and hard to get them out.
If you are looking for a spacesaver, this is not a bad choice. It works decent (the oven) and looks great (if you can keep it clean). If you want a real toaster, look elsewhere.
