another reviewer commented that his oven does not toast the bottom of bread..what is others experience? This seems like a basic 'toaster' function.

I have never had any problem with my Oster Toaster...it makes perfect toast, biscuit, etc.....I LOVE it, in fact I have 2, one in our vacation house and one at home. I highly recommend this toaster.

This monster of a toaster oven is better at baking than toasting. I found raising the rack to the top worked best for toasting and have gotten good results on both sides of bread (although the top side is a little more toasted than the bottom). Be sure to turn the temperature dial to the max and push the "toast" button when you toast.

It does not toast evenly. I feel like that is the standard with toaster ovens. But we like our toast extra dark so it doesn't matter to us. It really isn't that big of a difference.

The placement of the rack is important when toasting, and different positions for baking or broiling for optimum results. Referring to the info leaflet will be the best for various settings. I toast both sides fine, the rack is in the lower level, temp set to 450, and toast button selected. The time is set by turning it past 20 min then back to desired time.

If anyone finds a toaster that toasts only on one side, please answer this thread. I had an old Black and Decker that did so, and I can't find a replacement anywhere. THAT is what a true "bagel setting" should do....

It doesn't broil, nor does it "toast" like breakfast bread. It's a convection oven, great piece of equipment as long as it's not small items like spices, they get blown off.

I've actually baked a loaf of bread as well as cookies, cinnamon rolls...it takes a while and you have to watch it as the tops could cook faster. But nothing some foil couldn't fix....keep the naked goods toward the back of the oven and you should be good

I just got the same toaster oven. My oven does the exact same thing. I'm not happy that I need to put some type of light source by the oven so I can see the clock and timer.

It does sound pretty good but not sure if that's too much for it to close. And might cook uneven with areas being thicker than others. That one might be best in toaster over or regular oven.

I've checked when using, the bottom of toaster and my countertop doesn't get hot. BUT: the top of toaster gets hot. So, I make sure I remove anything that was on top before using.

Mine never worked right. Burned the bread even on light crust. I returned it.

My toaster does not work well at all. I will not buy another one like this one. If you find one that works well, please let me know because I am replacing this one.

Yea! The first toaster I've tried that toasts without my having to manipulate the bread. I would buy this toaster again. Love it!

I have the two slice toaster so can't answer that but I can tell you that my toaster doesn't toast both sides of the bread evenly. One side is quite a bit darker than the other no matter which side of the toaster I put one piece in or even if I put in two pieces or if it is cold or frozen the result is not what I want. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I only use it for toast. I had trouble finding a good toaster, and this is great. I had to read the instructions, I don't use the bagel setting, it toasts fine on the toast settings, but the dials tend to move, so I always check them. So check your settings, top and bottom should come on for toast.

You just press it down without any additional settings . But I returned my toaster because no matter what setting I used, it never actually toasted the bread.

I have only toasted 2 consecutive full toasters of bread not 4 or 5, but for 2 the results are comparable. In other words, the second batch is consistent with the first in toasting level.

Something must be wrong with the bottom heating element. When I first got mine, the bottom came out burnt and the top was not baked.I modded it so that I can turn the bottom element off after baking 45 sec. Leave the top on for a total of 3 Min.

I actually have been selling this product in my store and through Amazon, I have not had any problems with it. I am wondering if the toaster that you received it defective. Did it ever work in the beginning?

We put the slice on the rack (not a pan) in our toaster over and turn it up as high as it will go. I think it has something to do with how dark the bread is (darker type bread seems to take longer to toast) as well as how dense it is. I don't think it will ever get as "toasty" as regular bread due to the density, but you can achieve a satisfactorily toasted piece usually. I have also put it into a non-stick fry pan - with no oil or butter- and toasted it there. That has worked for me.Good luck.
