KitchenAid KCO1005OB

Pros: It worked fine then failed in a short period of time, twice.

Cons: The toaster oven has an inherrant defect that is known by the manufacturer.

Review: I received a new KA toaster oven for a gift and it worked fine for six months and then failed. I contacted KA and they sent me a new one free of charge. I was amazed at the customer service that I received and praised them to everyone. However, the...

Pros: Looks nice and appears sturdy.

Cons: VERY small interior, plus the burner takes up an inch of the cooking space.

Review: I bought the toaster oven, not the convection oven, but the dimensions are the same, and that is the problem. The inside of the oven is very small. The wire rack sits about an inch above the bottom burner. From the rack to the top burner is only...

Pros: looks phenomenal

Cons: timer didn't work right out of the box. handle got dangerously hot.

Review: I had this toaster oven 40 minutes before something went wrong. The twist timer on the face of the toaster oven was not clicking or moving, which was a bad sign right there. As it turned out, it wasn't working at all. During this process of trying...

Pros: Strdy feel, good looks, versatile

Cons: Expensive, slippery racks

The Bottom Line: It's expensive, but the KitchenAid KCO1005OB offers good performance for a large toaster oven in an attractive package.

Review: I recently bought a KitchenAid KCO1005OB. It works as advertised, and I have no real complaints. It's not amazing, but performance is good and I'm happy.

We chose the KitchenAid KCO1005OB for a couple of reasons. First we like this type of...

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Easily burns your hands. Cannot toast.

Review: Although it looks impressive in the store, this toaster oven stinks. It cannot cook toast to save its sorry life. The rack falls out too easily (there is nothing to stop it) and easily leads to burns or worse. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK.

Pros: Crumb tray, Good for baking smaller items under 30 minutes

Cons: Hard to toast breads

Review: A great looking toaster oven. Great for baking chicken nuggets for the kids. The timer is convenient, but is limited by the 30 minutes. It's a little tricky to get toast the way you like it. Usually it gets under toasted then burned if you set the...

Pros: Good Looks

Cons: Expensive, prone to failure

Review: We buy this type of thing at Best Buy and this one was twice the price of all the others. It looked good and it was KitchenAid which has been good in the past. It worked reasonably well for three weeks and then, on Thanksgiving day, where it was...

Pros: Easy to clean.

Cons: Burns toast, Extremely hot handle - will burn hand

Review: I have had this for about 3 months and would have returned it but bought it on sale and found later that sale items could not be returned. If it is hasn't been already this item should be recalled because the handle gets extremely hot.

In...

Pros: It is definitely an piece of high-tech art on your kitchen counter-top.

Cons: Smoke coming out of the door, food usually gets burned without even fully cooked.

Review: The functions of what is supplies are 90% less than its modest stylish and sturdy built. Regardless how you carefully read the instructions come with the toaster-oven, or how you moderate the cooking recipe which it supplied, the result usually...

Pros: Exceptionally nice looking.

Cons: Slow, dreadful toasting. Hot handle.

Review: I bought it because it's gorgeous, it coordinates visually with my Kitchen Aid wall oven, the store salesman spoke well of it, and I think of Kitchen Aid as a trusted name. But then I brought it home & plugged it in.

Carefully following...
