Average G: Never owned one these before. After countless hours of copious research I decided on this one. So far it's working fine. We don't even use our regular kitchen oven any more as the Calphalon handles the workload quite handily. Saves electricity compared to the regular kitchen oven and doesn't heat up the house in the warm/hot months (about 10/12 months of the year here). Came with decent quality cooking accoutrements, and that it was on sale made this a great deal. Would have been cool if it had a digital clock in it like a microwave though. But I reckon ovens aren't made to be cool except for when they're turned off. Recommended!

My_Cat_Says_Meow: This lasted nearly 3 years, but it is a pain to clean.

Here are some of the issues I had:
1. The heating elements is covered with metal mesh coverings. Issue with this is if your spray a cleaning solution, it is difficult to wipe off the solution from the heating element because the mesh blocks the heating unit. When you heat up this unit after cleaning, the residue that resides on the heating element will cook and flake off, and plenty will still reside. This will eventually flake off cooked chemical flakes into your food.

2. The convection holes will collect cleaning solution if sprayed as well. Issue this is that if there is cleaning product that gets inside, there is no way to remove it internally or the smell.

3. The glass that protects the light is not very strong. About 2 years in and I already started seeing cracks on the glass bulb that protects the light. While just wiping that area down it finally broke. I had to buy a entirely new toaster over because I cannot find the replacement glass that protects the bulb internals from melting.

J Huston: BOTH UPPER QUARTZ HEATING ELEMENTS WERE BROKEN OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS.
I AM RETURNING THIS ITEWM FOR A REFUND.

Jim Gordon: Note - Amazon is mixing together the reviews of different models with different features and specifications. It does this to fool you into thinking there are more buyers than there really are. One star off for odd quirky user interface and beep that is not loud enough. The fan has to be reset to run each time you bake if power was interrupted. The fan is very very quiet, you have to open the door in a quiet room to hear it and the flow is barely adequate to call this convection. I bought this because of its lower 1300 watt rating which is less likely to blow a breaker when other things are turned on in the same circuit. [2022 model has 1500 watts] 1300 IS enough power even when the oven is full and it warms reasonably fast. This will barely take a 12 inch pizza using the pan provided. I frequently use four small mini-loaf pans for fast baking. They pretty much all heat the same without rotating them. If you fill a tray with french fries there is one area that browns a bit faster. This does air fry with the provided basket but the wimpy fan means more time needed. I have used this almost a full year now as my only oven. The LED light is useful but like the other controls, you have...

Lorne Gould: I had not heard of the Calphalon brand until I was searching for a replacement to the recently purchased Toshiba toaster oven we had purchased a few months prior. The ease of use of the oven combined with the size is great - it is also the most even heating toaster oven I have owned.

JEF: I use a toaster oven most of the time to do the same things that I would otherwise use the full oven for. Much more energy efficient and more precise. This one has lots of bells and whistles that so far make it very versatile. I ha e had another Calphalon countertop oven that I have used almost every day for maybe 10 years, so very durable too.

Helen: Really find the oven exceptional except for the toast setting as the toast was very dry and was not evenly toasted.. If that is not important to you, I highly recommend it.

boxergirl301: As someone who lives in the South and spends most of my time trying to avoid the outside heat, I am an avid user of toaster ovens so that I don't have to use any more electricity than necessary to cool my home (especially in the summer). This is probably my 5th toaster oven in 10 years (they never seem to hold up to my chronic use). Anyway, I decided to try this toaster oven due to the size and what appeared to be the ease of use, and also the different functions. I have had it for over a month now and I use it daily. This particular oven is the biggest I have ever owned and I am happy with the size - it does fit comfortably on my kitchen counter, but if you have a smaller kitchen it may not work. The functions are pretty standard for this type of toaster oven (although it does have a dehydrate function which I have not seen before and which I have yet to use). I like the fact that the buttons and the knobs are fairly intuitive and pretty much anyone can figure out how to use this toaster oven without deep knowledge of the unit. That being said, there is one thing I do NOT like about this oven and my husband can attest to the stupidity of this: Once the oven is preheated, you must...
