Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 31117 4-Slice Toaster Oven/Broiler, Black
Customer Review: OK while waiting for the perfect toaster oven
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, like most toaster ovens I have purchased over the years, this one cooks a little uneven -- this one cooks too much on the top and too little on the bottom -- except when it goes the other way around.
Good for warming up cold pizza, etc. Dries toast out a little. A good choice if want an alternative to a standard Black and Decker, and do not think that a basic toaster oven should cost over $50.
(+ very eco-friendly when comparing it with using a full oven to warm something up.)
Customer Review: Good oven, reasonable price
Summary: 4 Stars
When my old toaster oven stopped working, I started looking for a new one. I was debating between getting a very expensive toaster oven or a "cheap" one. The expensive one was over $150 and got good reviews. My original toaster oven (before my last one broke) lasted me close to ten years, and was a "cheapie." I almost got the expensive one, but I decided to give this one a try first, and if it didn't work out, go for the expensive one next time.
So far, based on one month's use, I would say this oven has been giving me very good service. The heating element starts up fast, unlike my old one (not the one that lasted several years). It does what it's supposed to. I have had very good results re-heating pizza (makes the cheese nice and stringy) and fried chicken. It also works very well for pot pies and croissants (used almost every day). Overall, so far, it "just works."
Some people may say the oven gets hot. I have had three ovens (including this one), and they all got hot. I don't see how it wouldn't (really haven't tried the fancy expensive ones, so can't compare to those). I expect heat from these devices, so for me, it's not an issue. Just don't touch it when it's hot.
Again, an very practical, usable, and workable oven! It may not be fancy, but it's very utilitarian and costs are very reasonable. That's two of three things I need in an oven. The third is that it last for a while. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope it lasts.
Based on my experience so far, I would recommend this oven quite highly and would say it's a good choice. I like this oven.
Customer Review: This toaster is AWFUL!

Don't buy this toaster- it's a fire hazard, I had to return it. Everything gets really hot, and you can't open the door or get your toast without scalding some part of your hand. Plus, it burns everything.Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't had the toaster long, but it is working great. Didn't think the 'toaster' part would work - but it did just fine. My only complaint is the timer is loud and annoying to listen too while it counts down. Good value.Customer Review: Fast

My college daughter's toaster oven finally died and needed replacing. I bought her this one as a gift and she is loving it. She didn't realize how slow to cook/heat/toast her old on was until she got this one. She said that it is double the speed and she loves it.
