Luby Convection Toaster Oven - Perfectly Cook Your Food with an Easy-to-Set Timer

Mairead Bauer: We bought this toaster oven and had it maybe 2-3 months. Worked fine - it's a toaster oven so plug and play right. Well about a week ago we decided on a pork loin and I decided let's sear the outside for 15 minutes on a high temperature and then drop the temp and slow cook it the rest of the way. Standard stuff - I've done it that way about 100 times. I put the lower and upper elements on and leave the kitchen. I return 15 minutes later to turn the temp down, do so, and realized oh hey I must have spilled something on the glass because there's a line running down. I grab a paper towel and go to wipe it down and.... That's not liquid that's a crack. At that point I realize the crack isn't alone. There's a huge horizontal crack running the length of the of glass door.

In short, the oven isn't built to handle the temps it claims to and isn't good for anything beyond an English muffin. If that's your plan you should be fine, but if you're doing any real cooking this isn't capable of it. It will literally self destruct. Avoid.

Tom: The media could not be loaded.  This oven has a retro look and you can't beat the huge color pop it gives any kitchen. Cooks very evenly and it allows you to control the heat by using the top elements or the bottom, which is helpful depending on what you're trying to heat up or how fast. The only thing I don't like is the timer. It's a crank knob and it kind of "ticks" while it's going but it is hard to get an extremely accurate time set with a crank knob like that. I usually end up cranking it past what I need and use my iPhone timer to be most accurate. Overall though it's a great addition to any kitchen looking for an accent color splash!

Amazon Customer: This is everything I had hoped and more. The interior is huge. There is a rather smart removable tray for cleaning and or to just catch crumbs and spills. I love that the unit only works with the timer and turns off upon time up. I had a small issue when the unit tripped the breaker when in use with a microwave on the same circut and the two couldn't run at the same time. This isn't an issue although I had assumed the unit was working because the time is a windup and only turns off the heat. This means you can hear the timer. Again I am quite happy with the unit as well as the price. It's a lot of bang for the buck and its a good looking unit.

Linda Hyman: A very basic toaster oven, with very few settings, but it gets the job done. Basically, you can heat from the bottom, from the top, or from both. The temp setting isn't very precise, so it's a little difficult to know if you're exactly on 400 or 425. I've had success using this as an oven to roast potatoes, bake chicken, keep pizza hot, etc., and it's just as good for toasting bread. The inside is spacious, with 2 racks and a tray. So if you want a lightweight, very functional, simple, economical toaster oven, that is also good looking (love the red color), I would recommend this.

Homer Simpson: Never had a full size counter top toaster-oven and never have cooked in a convection oven before. .Pros: Nicely designed and looks good. Rich red color. If you follow very simple directions, very easy to use. Baked chicken legs. Terrific! Broiled a steak. Excellent. A really great value, was going to buy one of the top quality Breville brand units, but this unit is one third of the cost of a Breville so I gambled. I will use this for as long as it holds up and then go to a Breville.

Cons. On the tinny side. Not the quality of a Breville I am sure. You cannot manually adjust the timer down. Strange, but not a deal killer for me, The operation manual is not very good and is incomplete. But I figured it out without a decent manual. Lacks refined settings. But for me, that is a plus. I was looking for a basic, simple toaster-open because I only want to bake and broil and use maybe 2 or 3 times a week..

I recommend this unit to those who are looking for a basic, easy to use product.
