TOSHIBAAC25CEW-BS Large 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven Countertop, 10-In-One with Toast, Pizza and Rotisserie, 1500W, Black Stainless Steel, Includes 6 Accessories

I’ve had this powerhouse on my counter for a few weeks now and it’s quickly become the MVP of my kitchen lineup. Whether I’m toasting bread, roasting a small chicken, or crisping up homemade pizza slices, it nails the job every single time. There’s something oddly satisfying about watching that rotisserie spin—feels like you’ve got a mini professional kitchen right at home.Setup was a breeze—plug it in, pick your function, dial in the time and temp, and you’re off. The convection fan really amps up the heat circulation, so everything browns evenly and comes out nice and crisp instead of soggy or burnt on one side. The six-slice capacity is clutch when I’ve got brunch guests over, and the six accessories mean I’m always ready for whatever recipe mood strikes—baking tray, crumb tray, rack—you name it, it’s in the box.Cleanup’s straightforward, too. The crumb tray slides out without fuss and the interior wipes down easily—no more elbow grease wrestling with stuck-on gunk. It’s solidly built, looks sleek in that dark steel finish, and even when I’m not using all ten cooking modes, knowing they’re there gives me mad kitchen confidence.If you want to level up your countertop game—ditch the old toaster and toaster oven combo and go all-in on one gadget that does it all—this is your ticket. It’s fast, reliable, and feels like a serious upgrade to your meal game without sacrificing precious counter real estate.

The media could not be loaded. My review in short:Absolutely love this! Great quality once you learn how to use it, which isn't difficult.Disclaimer #1:This toaster oven DOES preheat, however not in the way a typical kitchen oven does. For example, once you select your heating option, temperature, and press "start" the temperature number on the screen will begin to blink continuously and the heating coils will begin to turn red as it heats up. Once the unit gets to the desired temperature the temperature number will stop blinking and the coils will turn off and now the unit will be ready for food to be put in as you would in a standard kitchen oven. Just know that there will be no "beep" or sound to notify you of this, only the blinking of the temperature number, so you have to pay attention. Once you place your food inside you'll then need to readjust your cooking time to your desired time frame as the cooking time unfortunately has to run while the toaster preheats. Small issue, so no big deal. Disclaimer #2:If I were you I would use to the cooking tray that comes with this unit to put my food on to cook. This definitely helps in keeping this toaster oven clean and preventing anything falling to the bottom and potentially burning or starting a fire. Also, if you do use the tray I would cover it with either a sheet of parchment paper or line it with aluminum foil for each cook. This helps making clean up easier. I did notice that the tray, for some reason rusted a little bit after a few uses. Since I have been lining the tray with aluminum foil and/or parchment paper the rusting has stopped. So just something to keep in mind.Disclaimer #3:This unit can get HOT. Storing things on top of this unit while the unit is cooking is a bad idea and guaranteed to burn. I would say that anything within 6 inches of the sides, rear or on top of the unit will melt/burn while it's cooking.Cooking ability/Usage:I needed a toaster oven so I wouldn't have to keep using my kitchen oven. I haven't had any issues in foods not cooking thoroughly. So far everything has cooked great. I literally cook or reheat most foods in here. Thanks to the low temperature setting I have even cooked ribs in here. I have also cooked my Thanksgiving whole turkey breast in here.Size:Great compact size for cooking decent sized foods. For toast, I'd say you'd probably be able to cook 4-6 slices of regular sized bread in here at one time. Notifications:As I said in my "Disclaimer #1" section, this unit does preheat, but it will not alert you with a sound once it has reached the desired temperature. The temperature number that was selected will simply stop blinking. However, it does notify you with a beep once the selected cooking time has ended with 3-4 decent volume beeps. This unit will also beep once every time you plug it in as it turns on. Definitely will be loud in a quiet house. Cooking Settings:This unit comes with 10 different settings which cover a wide variety of cooking options like "Toast", "Pizza", "Cookies", "Broil", "Bake", "Rotisserie" which by the way, also comes with a rotisserie spit and will spin the meat as it's cooked, "Convection", "Keep Warm", "Defrost", and "Reheat". There are also signs on the unit door that instruct the user on best locations to put the rack for each setting for best cooking outcome. Overall:I give this unit a 5 out of 5 for my usage. It definitely beats having to waste money using my big kitchen oven for small cooking usage. I would highly recommend.

Toaster ovens all do about the same thing and come down to size, controls, and to a lesser degree features. This oven looks good, it heats quickly and seems to cook evenly so it does the job. But there are 2 issues I have with it to consider when comparing with others.1-Controls. They work, are simple to understand and do the job. But after 30 years of taster ovens with 3 simple knob controls, I have to say that using 3 knobs to then set values that are then shown on a screen doesn't make a lot of sense. For sure if used daily and often as I do, 3 simple knobs with feature, temp, and time are quicker and more convenient. With no screen and just knobs you get used to the positions of the knobs and set the oven without even thinking about it.With an LCD screen, you have to pay attention to each setting on the screen, scroll through choices, sometimes going around the whole range for the setting to start from the beginning etc. And do this for all 3 settings 3 plain knobs and no screen are much quicker I'm afraid and although LCD digital displays are all the rage, they do nothing to add function or save time.2-Preheat. There is no real preheat function on this oven. I'm not sure why a preheat function isn't included on every oven no matter the size. EVERY cooking instruction starts with 'preheat oven to xxx degrees'. Yet, no preheat function. So, you either have to put your food into a room temp oven and set the time and temp to include preheat time... which means the first 3-4 minutes of your cooking time is really preheat time where the burners are at max which can't be good for the food, , or you have to turn on the oven, set the temp desired, set the timer to around 4 minutes and come back when preheated and then put the food in and start over with all the settings fort he cooking phase. Makes no sense.The oven, all ovens should have a preheat feature where you set a temp and hit 'preheat'. Then when the oven reaches the temp a preheat bell goes off and you are ready to cook. For me this is a pretty significant issue because as I said, I end up putting everything in at room temp and then exposing my food to the preheat cycle and have to set all settings, time, temp, feature twice. Not a show stopper but something to consider.Still a good oven.
