Which convection/toaster oven do you like?

[tphan]

Hi- I was wondering which toaster ovens, or preferably convection-toaster ovens, you all had some experience with and which brand might be advised. I don't have the original gas oven, would just like a counter-top model, and would like to be able to bake banana bread, muffins, cookies, meat loaf, small pizzas, etc. I realize I will have to be plugged into shore power for this. Thanks! -tim

We purchased a GE model from Wal Mart about a year and a half ago and are quite pleased with it. It cost about $140.00. Good Luck.

This is one I have at home and absolutely LOVE it!!! It reminds me of the Airstream with the stainless steel and looks so sleek on my countertop! It cooks great and so many different functions see below.
Even tho the list price is $119 it's on Ebay for about $69.

Those both look really nice, 2 quite different price ranges. Any other suggestions before I get serious with shopping? Thanks- tim

We're considering getting one. I like the idea of being able to put it on a small table outside the trailer and baking in without using a lot of propane or getting the inside of the trailer too warm.

The one I'm considering is the Hamilton Beach. It's a little larger than most, but I think I'd really like the rotisserie attachment that comes with it.

Mostly great reviews for this Hamilton-Beach, I see- Thanks for posting it! I hadn't even thought of taking the whole thing outside on warm days- that is indeed a plus for a counter-top unit! Any other satisfied convection/toaster owners out there? -tim

Any more favorites out there? Any brands to avoid?

This one looked pretty good too.

West Bend also makes a couple of smaller models like this one...

Decided to go with a Euro-Pro that had all the features I wanted- it's a convection toaster with a rotisserie, regular dial controls, large size, stylish, with 2 wire racks, baking pan, and crumb tray. WalMart has them for only $60 at the moment. Thanks for all the suggestions, features, and info!

Tim - let us know how it works out.
