This is a very nice toaster oven; however, the convection baking that I have done in it uses the same time and temp that my regular oven uses; not one single difference. I was led to believe convection baking was faster!!!! It is supposed to use 20% less electricity so that is a good thing, however, I am disappointed that it is not faster than my regular oven.

The KitchenAid toaster oven performance is even better than I expected. I am very glad this is the model I purchased…and, as an added bonus, hubby loves it too.

Tried two other ovens but this one met my requirements.

I loved my 12 year old KitchenAid counter oven until the day the toasting element quit. So, I had no difficulty deciding to replace it with another KitchenAid. The new model with digital controls and convection is a joy to use. I have used it everyday for everything from my morning toast to frozen pizza and casseroles. A light inside would of been great and I wish the beeps for the preheating and the end of the cooking time were a little louder for these old eyes and ears.

Great but wish it toasted. Ore evenly on both sides of the bread!

We really were excited to use this over the main oven; however, the first few times that we used it, the food wasn’t done as we expected in the time we set. It took at least 3 times to cook. We finally realized that the timer counts down much faster than normal seconds. Unfortunately, this is how it was performing ever since we brought it home. I’ll be happy to write an updated review after I see how the service is to fix this. I can’t wait to finally have one that works!

Works very well but would be nice to have a light inside like the bid ovens

I travel with oxygen and worry when I use my gas stove. That’s why I bought the 12″ convection oven which does not off the threat and cuts cooking time. What I had not expected was that it would definitely improve my cooking . . . especially with chicken and roasts. The only problem I have is that I cannot get rid of the preheat feature. It preheats for darned near everything but toast and then need to be reheated.

So far works great. Hope the electronic hold up work better than the Breville unit we replaced with this.

I bought two of these and couldn’t be happier. They are really well designed and manufactured. It’s nice and compact but fits a large casserole dish. I love that the rack is adjustable, and that it comes with a nice non-stick tray to cook on. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone looking for a great toaster oven at a reasonable price.

So far so good. Works good and looks good.

My four year old KA KCO233 went out of service when the mechanical mode dial stopped turning it on for bake. I replaced it with the KCO273SS digital model. The new one cooks extremely well, but learning to use its settings has been a pain, I I have many KA products in my kitchen, and love them. My four year old KA KCO233 went out of service when the mechanical mode dial stopped turning it on for bake. I replaced it with the KCO273SS digital model. The new one cooks extremely well, but learning to use its settings has been a pain,partly due to the fact that the manual does not clearly explain how the settings work.• It would be helpful if the LCD display showed what mode was in operation.• Since the window in the door is smaller than the earlier version, it would be helpful to have a light in the oven when it’s in operation.• Preheat settings demand that you be there when Preheat goes off, put food in oven, and press start again. It would be better to be able to place baked items in the oven during preheat and have the oven go on a cook temp when reheat is completed.• If cooking time is not sufficient and you want to continue for more time at the same setting, you have to turn the oven off, turn it on again and go through the whole setting process again (sometimes including auto preheat coming on again), not just extend the time at the same settings. This means you have to stand there in order to press start after preheat goes off the second time.• After cooking time is completed, the display continues a count down beyond the selected time. Is the oven still on during the additional time? No information is given about this.• Bake temperature range is only 350-450. Some baked items need a lower temperature (custards, certain cakes, etc.) Do I have to retreat to my stove oven for them?

I bought this less then a month ago it’s a great toaster oven, very sturdy not a flimsy one like some of the glass is so thin it feels like it will shatter. It’s just a smaller version of a big oven. Heats up fast and takes less time to reheat then a regular oven. Cooking is great but, just be careful the top does get real hot.

I bought this oven several years ago and love it. This is usually my go to oven to bake most dishes I make. I love the versatility and durability of it. Toast, casseroles, and broiling to brown are what is cooked in this oven.

I bought this to downgrade from my oven as an empty nester now. I had a cheapy toaster oven but wanted a better alternative. This is it! It’s solid, decent size, works quietly and cooking times have been perfect. I don’t use the convection so it gives me the alternative and I don’t make toast in it (Around here we call that a toaster!!). Looks good and has a solid door not one of those flimsy cheap models for a fair price.
