Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 6293 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven, Black
Customer Review: Dangerous
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this toaster oven as a christmas gift. It worked fine for a few months until one day while making toast, BOOOOOM! Right before my eyes the toaster suffered a mini-explosion inside the toaster. Fortunately, it tripped the gfi (ground fault interrupter) and the flames died down enough that no one was hurt. I had black marks from the flame up the backsplash. We reset the breaker, my husband looked it over and couldn't see anything wrong, but we planned to throw this toaster in the trash and replace it with something that didn't explode. Later that week, we had company over, and while I was cooking, someone plugged in the toaster oven to heat up something small. BOOOOOOOM! This item is clearly dangerous. If several people had not been standing right there, our kitchen would have gone up in flames.Customer Review: Not very good at all

I'm trying to replace my trusty 12+ year old DeLonghi that got broken accidently.
This Oster 6297 is the THIRD attempt at replacing the DeLonghi. Even DeLonghi isn't the same anymore. They are Chinese made junk.
This Oster looks great BUT....the thermostat is NOT accurate...cooking a Stouffers Lasagna for 52 min. @ 350 yields a COLD center of Lasagna.
The outside of this oven is DANGEROUS hot.
The "convection" is useless, it neither saves time nor cooks better, in fact it DRIES out the food.
The ergonomics of putting food in and taking food out is dangerous...it's VERY hard to take out the trays with any kind of weight on them without skinning your knuckles on hot glass. Stay away from this mess.
Customer Review: The Best yet!

I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase of the Oster Toaster Oven. This oven is so easy to clean with the slide out drawer in the bottom. I can simply dump out crumbs or wipe the tray down after every use. The other so called 'easy clean' toaster ovens proved to be a pain and the trays so difficult to remove that crumbs were spilled everywhere. I am happy with the toasting time (much quicker than the DeLonghi) and the evenness of cooking, the look to match the black appliances in my kitchen, the reasonable cost, and the size. Learning to use it merely takes a quick browse through the manual....don't let some of the other reviewers scare you away on that feature! All in all, my favorite toaster oven yet!Customer Review: Toaster Oven that Smokes!
Summary: 1 Stars
I just bought this toaster oven from the store. I unpack and prepare the toaster to be used for the first time. Here is what I find:
- My first attempt to toast (with no bread inside) I see lots of smoke coming from the side of the unit. I did not see any fire and there was nothing inside unit that could have been burning so it must have been the unit itself
- For the unit to toast, it takes a VERY LONG time to heat up. It seemed like 5-6 minutes per toast.
- The top of the unit was very hot...but to my surprise, the front of the unit was VERY VERY hot. So hot that it would burn any child.
I've had to replace several toaster ovens and this is by far the worse yet.
Customer Review: Looks great but hard for everyday toasting

Okay, I just bought this and will be returning it to the store. Reasons? To toast (which is what I do about 80-90% of the time) you have to turn a knob past the 20 minute mark and then turn it back to some point between fully burned and lightly warmed. In the mornings, I need a button - that's about all I can handle. Also, compared to my old, simple Black & Decker that just broke, your view of what's inside is obstructed by a curved out top and the front is 90-degrees which, interestingly enough, makes it harder to see inside. Weird that I would notice but I guess I got accustomed to what I had before. Other than that, didn't keep it enough to test out the other features.
