bit-tech Shopping: Proctor Silex Proctor-Silex 31115 Toaster Oven/Broiler

Rating: 6

Time with product:

Strengths: Even browning, has a nice light setting, deep size

Weaknesses: crumb tray too small and things spill off of it when pulled out, ticking timer

Summary: I really like that you can actually toast your bread lightly without having to stop the toaster oven midway. My old toaster oven always had to be stopped midway even on the lightest setting or everything was too brown for me. The crumb tray is a little small (does not cover entire bottom of oven) and the sides are not inverted enough to catch all the crumbs and keep them on it when it is slid out. Overall, a good toaster oven that does what it sets out to do.

Strengths: Did a good job on toasting bread and it is the first toaster that actually makes the crust crispy on day-old pizza.

Weaknesses: None, really.

Summary: Rolls toast fast in this oven so I used a lower setting compared to my old oven that took a long to toast anything. I've rated this toaster only 4 stars because I have only compared it to the few toaster ovens that I myself have purchased.
