Strengths: compact, easy to use and clean, perfect toast every time, perfect broiler for thick steak, fish and chicken breast.
Weaknesses: Perfect for couple, small family or student.
Summary: Finally find a toaster that make perfect toast (white, wheat, bagel, English muffin, etc....) each time just using the factory setting. You can adjust it if you want darker toast. The toast is darker on the top than the bottom but it give a great taste because it is cruchy on top and at the same time a little soft on the bottom so you don't have bread crumbs all over you when you eat your toast, kinda like French toast, yum! I have also use it to broil 1.5 inch. steak inches, salmon and chicken breast. They all come out perfect. It is also very easy to clean. The toaster can get very hot on top and on the sides, the bread crumb tray need to be removed from the back so it is safer to have the toaster put on the countertop front and have space on the sides so you can rotate the toaster. If not in use I unplug the cord for safety reason. You have to reset the clock if you unplug the unit. Since I have many clocks in my kitchen I just leave it as 12:00 everytime, all you need is to just set the timer. This is quite compact and can fit 2 cornish chicken or 3.5 lb chicken. It is perfect for single, couple and very small family. If you need to roast a bigger chicken, it is better and safer to use the normal oven. Haven't tried the baking setting and the convection fan. Will update this later. I bought this at Costco, it is a little cheaper than Amazon. This is a little expensive compare to the others but this is a very solid unit and not flimpsy like the others. Some high end unit are a bigger and much more expensive over $200. This is less than $100 and with the perfect toast every morning and great grilling and the convenience, I think it really worth the price. In the manual, it does not recommend wrapping the bread crumb trays and/or the broiler tray with aluminum foil but I try it and it works okay for easy clean. Just make sure the aluminum foil is just the right size and don't get caught or contact with any of the coils in the toaster. I am very very happy with this toaster.

Strengths: Excellent time-temperature controlConvection is time saving
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I received this as a gift and have enjoyed it completely.Unlike previous toater ovens that stayed hot and burned second servings of toast at the same setting, this oven reduced the time to compensate for the heat already in the oven.The time-temperature digital read-outs are excellent. This certainly is miles ahead of the traditional toaster ovens.The convection feature reduces the time that I would cook in a traditional oven and does not dry out the food. A roasted chicken came out perfect!!This oven may be a little more expensive than others but is well worth the price considering the results.

Strengths: Very Easy to use. Works straight out of the box and easy programming. Easy to clean
Weaknesses: No stop tray on the 2nd shelf.
Summary: This is one of the best ovens I have ever used.. From toasting almonds to baking chicken, it has been day and night from the previous ovens. The only down fall with this oven is that the tray has a chance of sliding all the way out with no stops. This can pose as a danger when you are pulling your dish out. This is definitely one easy machine to clean. Literally wipes right off.

Strengths: Toasts relatively fast & clock timer moves to zero when done. Convection does help when used.
Weaknesses: A bit pricey.
Summary: I checked Consumer Reports & on-line ratings before I decided on this model. I was afraid that my wife would have something bad to say about its large size, but she was happy with this choice. I tested the unit by putting in a few slices of bread for toast, & I don't know if it could have been more evenly toasted to perfection.
