Review 1 for Oster 4-Slice Toaster Oven - Black/Silver

What's great about it: the heathing element works
What's not so great: have to do too much to toast a pc of bread...sounds crazy, I know.
If a toaster can be complicated, this is. You have to adjust two dials, move from time to no time, then select another dial to toast. Tray is very "tinny". Would NEVER recommend or buy again. Heating element is fine but it's a pain to use. I just don't want to think so much about "toasting" bread.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: timer shuts off oven, no over baking
What's not so great: it runs hot, don't put it in a tight spot or closed space
My initial impression was this unit runs hotter than my last Hamilton Beach model that bit the dust after approx 10 years. After using it for about a month, I'd still say that's true, but it toasts well ( Ihave to turn it a little past darker to get it it the way i like it. It bakes small batches of cookies well, and since you set a timer that shuts off the oven, I haven't burned any. The timer sounds like an old fashioned egg timer, but that doesn't bother me. My main motivation for buying this is that it was the least expensive toaster oven I could find. I'm on a tight budget, and it fits the bill price wise and does a good job as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: good temperature control
What's not so great: poor functional design
The pan of this model is smaller than I expected (fits 4 slices of English muffins at most). The heating elements are exposed, so if your bread drops crumbs, some could get baked onto the element over time. The crumbtray slides out tipping down toward the back of the oven, so most the crumbs get dumped back into the oven when this tray slides out. I think this design was more for the eys than for actual utility. Not impressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
