You get what you pay for
This is a fine little value if you are looking for a little value. Here's what you get:
475 watts - this means, for example, "broil" (top element on) is not exactly scorching (238W?).
The "two slice" stray is 9.25x5.5" - I suppose that's big enough for two slices of Wonder Bread or such, but I haven't tried it (we don't buy those sizes of bread).
Actual outside dimensions (harder than heck to find): 7" high (with 1" legs), 6" deep, 13" wide. Clearance from tray to top heating coil: 2.5"
Useless for anything but very thin toast
It's very hard to find toaster ovens for only 2 slices these days. Most are for 4 to even 6 slices and can't fit on my counter. I bought this one because it fit BUT the height is SOOOO low that nothing but a thin piece of bread will cook in it without bursting into flames - a kaiser roll actually touches the top heating element. Needless to say, I sent this directly back as I really didn't want my house to burn down.
This might seem picky, but really it is called a "toaster oven" not just a "toaster" and I bought it to be able to make more than just toast, otherwise I'd just buy a toaster.
Perfect for people who like usable counter space and perfectly cooked food
This is a mighty toaster oven! I bake cookies, and am planning to broil some food in this tiny toaster. it is about the size of a loaf of bread, if you want to picture the size of it. it comes with an airbake pan which make cooking very easy! the timer on it makes cooking for me quite simple, since I often burn things because I get distracted!
I bought mine at fry's electronics for $17, but at $20 I still say it is well worth every penny.
I also love being able to use my counters without having a humongous oven taking up all the elbow room- makes my tiny kitchen seems spacious!
I would love it more if it came in black...
