I bought this oven because I support small businesses like Hamilton Beach. What I like most about it is a full size pie pan fits in it. (My largest have 8" bottoms and are 11" across the top.) Most toaster ovens I've had in the past are not that deep....

I haven't had any problem turning the knobs, but I don't use electrical appliances with wet hands. Personally, I have never seen a toaster oven that automatically pushes the shelf out when you open the door. That would be one more likely point of...

This toaster oven works very well so far, and despite what others have said it makes excellent toast. My roommate and I have both used it a lot since I got it and we don't have any complaints. I haven't had any issues with it being slow to heat, and...
