This Toaster Ovens give to us some advantages, like this :
1. A high quality small toaster oven.
This toaster oven is designed for small apartments. It is only 15 inches wide and consumes only 1350 watts. A standard 15 amp circuit maxes out at 120X15=1800 watts, so this toaster oven lets you plug another appliance into the other electrical receptacle on a standard wall outlet. Other toaster ovens on the market consume 1800 watts and so require a dedicated circuit and they are typically 20" wide and so use up more precious counter space.
This oven has 2 rack height positions: center and high. For even browning of toast on both sides, the center position should be used because this puts the bread equidistant from upper and lower heating elements. Putting the rack in the high position will result in toast that is burned on top and not toasted on the bottom.
The low power consumption means food will take longer to cook but that is not the whole story. It takes time for heat to penetrate food so the longer cooking time results in food that is warm...
2. scary...
I bought this item from chefscatalog.com approx 6 months ago. The unit worked perfectly for a while but recently started malfunctioning by turning itself on randomly. Sometimes during operation the unit will turn itself off or restart completely. Initially, we didn't believe the issue to be chronic until the babysitter informed us that she smelled something burning and noticed the toaster was on without anyone operating it. Everyone in the household was watching a movie; no one was operating the toaster. Last week, I woke up at 3:00 am to hear the toaster "beeping" telling us that it completed its toasting cycle. Given the obvious fire hazard we keep the unit unplugged. I've contacted Viante for a warranty claim and left a message given that no one answered the phone at 10:30 on a workday. We'll see how they respond.

Great toaster oven
I almost didn't order this toaster oven because of reviews sure glad I did. I have had it for about a month. This is a very small footprint unit 15" wide and 8" high with convection, don't expect a blast of air it has a fan inside and will make
everything very crisp. The review about toast taking four minutes is correct, this is a oven not a toaster with different heating element four rods not wire and take longer to heat up but will toast perfectly (duh) Most convection ovens are huge
and take up a lot of counter space 20" wide and more. If your cooking for 1, 2 or even 3 this is your oven. If your cooking for 4 or more buy a bigger one. Controls are very easy to use, pan and broil pan are heavy metal, not cheap light aluminum.
