DeLonghi AS670 Airstream 0.5 Cu. Ft. Convection Toaster Oven  Product Reviews

"This is the best working convection oven/toaster I've tried and I've tried a bunch of them + it looks great in all types of kitchens; we even bought a second one to use in our camper!"

"Our replaced $20 toaster toasts toast much faster than this thing. The timer goes to high (that's a joke) and toast is ready only before high setting, which takes about 4-5 minutes. Anything more than simple toast you have to reset the timer to high, and you can't stop the time or turn it forward for those times that you have to keep cooking toast but don't want to burn it in the second or third cycle. Would send it back if the return systme for Amazon wasn't so aggravating. Will not buy any kitchen items from Amazon or Delonghi again! There are too many working kitchen items at the store, that if they don't work, you can actually return them with no fuss! I am out over $160.00 for this non-working overpriced supposed toaster oven. Next time I am going to a store! "

"I love this toaster/convection oven. I use it for everything, leftover, frozen food and toast. I got it for a bridal shower gift back in 1999. I use it daily and it almost works as well as it did 7 years ago. The reason being is that the door doesn't close all the way, there's about 1-cm gap. but that just came about within the last few weeks. I think the spring to the door might be detached, but i can't get to it. It still cooks fine, but my engineer husband thinks it's not as efficient. It stays reasonably clean too. I'm getting another one!!! "

"I've gone through quite a few toaster ovens over the last 20years. Since I am such a heavy user, I decided maybe the 'you get what you pay for' philosophy might be worth the investment. I purchased this 2yrs ago @ BB & B. It's going in the trash today. One by one the heating elements bent &/or failed outside the warranty period. Once the bottom elements bent, you can no longer remove the crumb tray. The door hinges warp so that the door won't close. Definitely NOT worth the money and lasted no longer than a $40 B&D. WHEN it worked, it was fine for meats, broiled fish, meatloaf, cassaroles & baked potatoes - but nothing to rave over and certainly no better than a std B & D model. Don't even THINK about baking cookies or biscuits. It's horrible for 'toast'. I found the best way to make toast was to preheat the toaster..and stand watch. Don't use the toast timer unless you want keep turning the bread and resetting the timer. The convection fan runs during toasting which dries out the bread. It does come with some handy pans and baking sheets which I'm holding onto as I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Cuisinart TOB-175BC Convection Toaster Oven/Broiler. I will review there after some experience with it."
