Compact and Functional

I bought the Kalorik 31513 to get some counter top broiling/toasting and baking capabilites without taking up a lot of counter space. I have a perfectly good dual oven range with a gas broiler for doing large items, but I wanted this for toasting the occasional sandwich or making myself a hot lunch. It performs those functions just fine and is big enough inside without being huge outside.

It does not have the "pizza bump" in the back. Something I was looking to avoid.

 The controls are straight forward and are easy to understand and use. It is not highly automated, which is fine because it doesn't get in the way of you setting it to do exactly what you want it to do. The bottom knob is for "stay on" or timer mode. The middle knob selects top elements only; bottom elements only; or both. The third knob controls the temperature setting. All E-Z and straighforward.

Now the not-so-impressive parts:
 The temp in the oven is not very accurate to the temperature setting. But with a little practice and you should be able to get fine results.
 The timer isn't particularly accurate either. Close, but hardly exact.
 The crumb tray is very shallow and though it is front accessable, the slot which it pulls out through is narrow. If you had any large crumbs on the tray and tried to pull it out to clean it they would be swept off into the bottom of the oven.... unable to fit through the narrow slot. Also the crumb tray itself is essentially flat. Any liquid spills of more than a drop or two will run off the edges. In summary the crumb tray is so useless that it might as well not be there. However, with the rack pulled out access to the bottom of the oven is very easy. I'll line mine with a home-made foil tray before I spill anything nasty.
 The top, the door, the back, and the sides all get VERY, VERY hot. This is a common complaint with most toaster ovens. This particular one is no exception. Beware that you can't place it next to anything that might melt or burn. And you can't put anything on top of it either. It needs decent clearence all around.  The back has little stand-offs to keep you from pushing it hard up against a wall for this same reason. Mine is kept farther from the wall than even their stand offs would place it.
My last comment is that the build of the Kalorik 31513 is very light and seems almost flimsy.  So far it hasn't effected performance, but at this price point frankly I had hoped for more.

A helpful hint to all toaster oven users:

In any small toaster oven the proximity of the lower element to the underside of the baking dish causes a lot of radiant heat to build  up on the bottom of the baking dish even when the rack is in any of the middle height positions. This causes burning on the bottom of your baked goods.... but if you take the broiling insert that comes with the oven and place it on the rack under the baking dish so that it has its cooking surface downward and it supports the baking dish above itself, it then becomes a radiant heat shield. In that configuration most of the heat transfer for baking will be by air convection (no fan here... this isn't a convection oven....) the way baking is supposed to be. Using this simple trick has given me very good results similar to what you would expect in a full sized oven.

In conclusion I like this oven. It does do what I wanted it to do and it does it without a lot of fuss or taking up a bunch of counter space. However I feel it should be better in a number of small regards for the price they are asking. That is why I rated it four stars instead of five. Fortunately many sellers are already offering it at steep discounts.

I received this product on time and as advertised.  This is a pretty basic item so there is not much to say about it.  It seems well made, and it is very compact and light weight, which makes it ideal for travel.  It works without issue.

Would buy again.  In the interest of full disclosure, I received this product at a discount in exchange for an unbiased review.

I like the compact design as I live on a boat so space is a premium.  Otherwise, it seams to work fine as advertised.  i like the pour spout on one corner as it makes it a breeze to pout out gravy or soups without a mess.

I like the compact size. Was a bit disappointed of not being able to put two cards in at the same time to transfer files from one to the other. However it's not a big deal, other then a convenience from having to create a file, transfer to the file, then transfer that info to another card. However when connected to 3.0, transfer is relativity fast. I would recommend this reader to anyone looking for something portable and easy to use and not expensive.

I bought this on a whim, but am pleasantly surprised with how useful and compact it is, i think I will buy one more. I use it to store my make up and it sits very comfortably on the window ledge near my sink. my bathroom is really small, so this works as an effective solution to organizing my stuff.

I bought this as a backup to my Nikon one for when I travel. Works great and it's compact enough that i can just throw in my bag and it won't take up too much space.

I was very keen to have this wine refrigerator because it seems compact and would be perfect for our kitchen.  The exterior appearance looks sleek, dark shadowy with visible bright LED lights that shows the temperature. The controls are pretty intuitive and easy to adjust and there's also a light switch. We use it mainly to chill white wines.

The cooler can indeed fit up to 8 bottles just fine.  Regarding the size, it's really compact - just think of having an oversize microwave on your kitchen counter.  You definitely need to make room for it or have the cooler sit on a separate side table/cabinet.  This would be a good match for a an apartment living space.  Overall, it does the job which is essentially to cool your wine bottles.

I purchased this product at a discounted rate/complimentary in exchange for my thorough product review and honest feedback. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to do so.

Very compact and quite light for a 10-port charger. Looks good too. Covers all my small-device charging needs and saves spaces. Works as advertised and I have not experienced any issues so far. Good value - highly recommended.

Very functional. Compact and yet does the job nicely. Only the two speeds but meets the challenge. Great deal for the price

I chose this unit originally because my first card reader stopped working. I wanted a unit that would read both SD and (perhaps sometime in the future) CF cards. This unit is fast, compact, amd attractive. I also find it easy to get the SD card into and out of the slot, which was not the case with my previous unit. Doesn't take up much room on the desktop, comfortably solid in the hand when I need to pick it up (doesn't feel cheap or flimsy), and the USB cable disconnects, which makes it easy to pack up if I need to carry it with me.

Compact and easy to use. Simplicity is its best feature. Not clumsy for handling and fits into tight places conveniently.

Folds small enough to fit in my travel laptop backpack. Functional design.

This is so compact.  It takes up very little space and is easy to put back in its case when you are done.  Over all it works well and is easy to use.  It can be a little slow, but that's to be expected.
