Great features
I love everything this compact oven has to offer. I has a spacious size oven, easy knobs to see and use. Like that there is a white light to indicated it is on, better than a red light as it is much more visual to 'catch your eye'. Simple to operate and
easy to keep clean. Looks great with the sleek lines of it's design. Don't hardy ever use my big oven, what an energy saver.

Easy to use, easy to clean
I am VERY happy with this oven. It makes nice, evenly browned toast, and it does an outstanding job of baking. So far I have baked a leg of lamb, a chicken and a couple of casseroles, all of which came out perfectly. And the happy ending is that it is quite easy to clean!

Oven has stopped working.
I bought this oven a little over a year and the function selection has stopped working. We used it very little and like it but we are very disappointed that it did not last very long. We want to buy another one but, we are afraid that if we get a KitchenAid brand, it will fail again.

Complicated to use
My son bought it for our household use,but it is proving to be pretty hard for everyone else to figure out. There are multiple dials and multiple settings which are both good and bad. When you know how to use them they will be very handy, but until then they are just more confusion to deal with. Needs a Compact Oven for Dummies manual to come with it!

The only oven you need
When my wall oven died, I was in need of something to cook for my toddler on a budget. I went with the KitchenAid oven because it is spacious and chemical-free. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It IS a countertop oven ,i have not had to adjust any of my recipes, from breads, muffins, cassaroles, seafood etc... I am not even going to replace my wall oven, this is all i need!

The Function knob has a short
The Function Knob has to be jiggled to get the oven to come on. It started with just the toaster function, now it’s with any function. Because of this, the oven may just turn off at anytime. So you think you’re coming back to toasted or hot food, but you’re not.
I exchanged this oven with Kitchen Aid just over a year ago. I reached out to them because I wanted to discuss my options. When I signed on to my account, none of my registered small appliances were showing up. I sent them an email discussing the toaster oven issues and the fact that my registered appliances were no longer showing up. I simply asked if they age off after the warranty expired? I never got a response from them at all.
I want to purchase another brand toaster oven, but my elderly mother is used to the way this one works and I’m afraid I’ll confuse her too much with a different set up.
Kitchen Aid... please help.

It vibrates too much when it gets hot
I do not understand why it vibrates too much when it gets hot? I wonder if this is an outdated model with this defect... I am not happy... Please reply to me and give me an explanation and a solution. No agent seems to understand my question.
