how does this differ from the other krups toaster oven you sell?

What kind of question is that. Read the specs and ask a proper question. Be specific read before you go into the wrd blind and blond

This is the only toaster oven I've ever had. Bought it in 2002. It's done a great job, but the door hinge broke on mine also! The replacement part was unavailable so we've "jury rigged" it and am still using it! Really has done very well from meats to biscuits, etc!

This is the second one of these I have owned. The first one lasted several years and the door hinge broke. Decided to replace the entire oven rather than try to repair. Have not used any other brand or any other Krups. I love it. It is about the only oven I ever use....especially in the Summer....large oven makes the house too hot. Can make almost anything in the small convection oven that can be made in the large oven and it tastes just as good and much more cost effective. Only use the large oven occasionally.

This is our second one of these units. The only reason we needed a new one was because I broke a heating element while cleaning it. We had that one for probably ten years. We like this toaster because we are able to use it quite often instead of having to use our standard oven. The size, the 3 heating elements, the reliability and the durability make it worth the extra money instead of some of the cheaper made less expensive brands.

I love this toaster oven and the top doesn't get nearly as hot as our old model. If you see what looks like smoke coming out the front, it isn't! It's steam. Enjoy!

It's fairly fast. I mean it has different setting for bagels, defrost etc. A bagel would take longer than let's say a simple slice of bread. If you have the room it may be better to get the 4 slice model. That way two different people can use the toaster @ the same time. It has separate controls and is pretty much like putting two 2 slice units into one body. I have the 4 slice model.

Mark, I did not find that true. After writing my review I went back and looked at other reviews, it was pretty consistent with regards to flaws with the unit. Don't be fooled by the looks of the unit or the name Krups.Good luck.

Meg, I can't answer your question. I bout the toaster /oven for my daughter and it was sent directly to her. She has a very small kitchen in a studio apartment in Manhattan. It's not to big and she loves it. It's probably the smallest toaster/oven around. I had one for 10 years and bought a bigger one last year. I miss this one because it's much smaller. I remember that the dimensions were given on amazon.... If I can help in any other way let me know.

I really can't answer that because I returned it. It makes warm bread; not toast. Go for the $30 Cuisinart in white or black. Wonderful toasting and none of the frills.

No... at least the one I have... I wouldn't buy this again - I resurrected my old toaster oven and still use it more than the DeLonghi - which I used only for occasional panini or when I need two ovens at the same time.

I haven't had mine long enough to tell. So far it is the best toaster we have ever owned. consistently perfect toast and bagels. Easy to use. Cuisinart is a known brand so I am not worried about the failure of the motor.

We bought ours to replace the toaster oven. From what I can remember, this is the best toaster I've ever bought! Fast and efficient. Looks great on the counter.

It's very odd how many people take the time to respond to questions simply to say that they don't know the answer, isn't it? Having just returned a Cuisinart TOB-40 due to an electrical circuit failure after just one year of light use and replacing it with the Breville, there's notable difference in the Breville's cooking efficiency and uniformity of heat radiation. The quartz heating elements are far superior and the 'smart' heat distribution function seems to perform as advertised. I'm hoping to get similar improvement in durability over the disappointing Cuisinart TOB-40. The Breville is actually a bit smaller than the TOB-40 externally but doesn't sacrifice functional interior room and outperforms by a quite higher margin.

We have used this oven 2-3 times daily for making toast or toasting sandwiches to melt the cheese. I am quite satisfied with the toaster part of this oven, your mileage may vary, especially if you are looking for a toaster oven that browns bread like a "uni-tasker" appliance. Although no toaster oven I've ever owned seems to get the browning the same on the top and bottom, this one is acceptable to me. My advice is, if what you really want is evenly toasted toast, buy a toaster. I like this toaster oven because of all the other things I can use it for.

Nope... not one of the features. But the convection oven does the job. Best Toaster Oven we have had over many years.

It gets very hot because it is metal. The sides, top and glass front get very hot. But I think all toaster ovens would be the same unless it is in some kind of plastic casing or some other kind of material that wouldn't conduct heat.

There are so many diverse comparisons of high end toaster ovens. There doesn't seem to be one without problems! Help!

Good question, but I can't answer it I ordered the TEM4500 but they sent me toaster by the same model number but by another manufacturer. I tried it but was of poor quality that I sent it back and baught a Quisinart four slice toaster and I am happy with it. It consistently provides evenly toasted bread. Slice after slice.

I purchased the Waring Pro TCO600 1500-Watt 6-Slice Convection Toaster OvenSells for $79.99 on Amazon - I bought it at Best Buy since I wanted to see it up close. Love it. It meets all my "health" requirements, and it's not that expensive.

This looks exactly like the one I received. (No raised portion on mine) This is the deluxe which is I think a better version than the slighty cheaper one; it is easier to clean it's less cluttered front, and is wonderfully faster toasting. It has all the settings I want and the only time I have had the problem others describe of toast jumping out ,is with really light or thin toast, and dont find it to be a big deal for me.
