Cheap Toaster

What are the best cheap toasters and what are people saying about them?

By far, the most popular toaster oven on the market is the Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat Toaster Oven Broiler. It is a tad more expensive but people like this toaster because it has qualities such as

• Size. You can fit a 12" pizza in it.
• Controls below the door. It saves a lot of countertop space.
• Alarm to let you know when the oven is at the right temperature.
• Digital temperature setting so you don't have to guess at it.
• Convection oven feature.
• Non-stick walls for easy clean-up.

One user of this toaster oven loved it so much that they passionately wrote a long review about different aspects of the toaster oven. In summary, here are some of the points made:

Aesthetics: Looks wise, this is the best looking toaster oven on the market. A professional and sophisticated look, which is enhanced by its stainless steel exterior.

Functionality: The large interior is a big turn on for mose consumers. The control pad and LCD display make the oven easy to use. One downside is that the rack does not slide out when the door is opened. Most toaster ovens do not have this feature either though. It is also not as bright on the inside as expected. An oven light would be beneficial. Crumb tray is accessed from the back which might be a tad annoying for some people.

Toast: Pleased with the toasting quality, however, like most toaster ovens, toasting bread can take a longer period of time than a regular toaster would. If your primary purpose is for bread, then a toaster oven is not for you.

Pizza/Bake: Preheats exceptionally fast. This user states that this oven even bakes faster than their conventional oven. Safety: The oven does get hot, like most ovens do. This person went on to say that "I have no problems using the handle without worrying about burning my bare hands, though I admit I have small hands. Perhaps someone with larger hands might come in contact with the hot door and it doesn't look like the metal band under the handle is heat resistant, which would have avoided this particular issue altogether. Be careful. The top rack slot has a safety catch to prevent the rack from accidentally sliding all the way out. Strangely, the bottom slot does not."

Quality: Overall, this reviewer felt very safe and comfortable using this oven. Like many other reviewers this person seemed extremely pleased with the look, the quality and even the price for this toaster. A+ for Cuisinart.
