PanasonicFlashXpress Toaster Oven with Double Infrared Heating, 6 Auto Cook Options and Precise Temperature Control, 4-Slice Small Toaster Oven, 1300 Watts - NB-G110P (Silver)

Finally a toaster that can actually toast on both sides evenly! I've been looking years and it wasn't until this toaster that it can finally be done! This toaster is super easy to use and lightning fast. Worth every penny!! I can't say enough about how everyone in my family is so impressed that it works so well and so fast. The presets also work great and can heat up things like pizza perfectly. It also isn't gigantic on the counter. Definitely the toaster to buy!

I have endured a tragic series of horrendous toaster oven lifetimes.After each merciful death I tried a new brand, naively hoping for satisfaction. Oh NO. Each rivaled the last in being the stupidest, most godawful waste of engineering effort ever expended.My massive and most recent torturer, made by a formerly high-end French company, took ten minutes to effect any change at all on a slice of bread. The result was never the same twice, no matter how carefully I tried to manage the knob one had to turn each use to set the duration. It was invariable however in the way that it was always terrible: whether raw, burnt, or partially raw _and_ partially burnt! It clicked like a bomb timer in a cartoon and seemed perversely dedicated to burning human flesh.I am ashamed to admit I couldn't even wait for the end of its natural lifespan — I gave to a neighbor's son getting his first apartment. 😔 (Vis-à-vis this review... I'm pretty much hoping he doesn't have Internet connectivity, or better yet, can't read.)The FlashXpress heats in TWO ways at the same time, using both ceramic and quartz heating elements. It gets to temperature almost instantly, you don't have to preheat at all. It gets incredibly bright — probably a good idea not to stare like DJT does at the sun — but I'm not tempted, so I can just enjoy the fact that it's heating from the inside almost like a microwave and crisping from the outside at the same time. The second photo I took without flash in normal lighting. The intensity of the light so threw off the light balance of the camera that it looks like it's in the dark!This Panasonic — I LOVE this thing.[NB: It meets some of my specific requirements beautifully, but if you have different desires it might not work so well for you.]Firstly, I live in a small space. Think of outfitting a ship.Second, I have an actual oven so I'll never use this to make lasagna or multiple batches of cookies or roast a chicken, i.e., real baking.Thirdly, day to day, I often don't feel like cooking (I live alone and can do whatever I want 😃) so I heat up a portion of something (like the items above) which I've previously frozen.It's got a tiny footprint. It actually sits safely on top of my bubbler, so it robs me of zero zilch nada of my precious counter space.It toasts uniformly on both sides super fast. It melts cheese and heats single portions of frozen stuff like nobody's bidnez.It automagically thrusts the grill rack slightly up and out when you open the door, and coming up on our 6 month thingiversary, it has yet to hurt me in any way.Now, if this were going to be your only oven, I would say nononono don't get this. It doesn't cook long enough, it's presets are limited and it just won't do a good job at cooking anything that needs to be particularly large, moist, low-temp, or slow.For me, it hasn't quite been David Ortiz hitting a winning double-run homer in the 12th game 4 when you're down 3 games in the series... but close. After all, my toast losing streak has only been around since the death of the upright steel toaster, sometime in the 70s. 😉

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to offer a review of this little oven because it works so well. I bought this oven primarily to make toast. I have been cycling through numerous toasters that have been extremely disappointing in terms of toast quality - the toast is uneven and patchy, often one side isn't even toasted, English muffins need to be flipped and toasted twice, and so on. So, I searched the internet for reviews of toasters and found an excellent article in a trusted newspaper in which they reviewed toasters and toaster ovens. Long story short, the article recommended this little oven as the best oven for making great toast, so I took a chance. Overall, this oven is outstanding both as a toaster and for warming/cooking food. As mentioned above, I mostly use it for toast (I cook larger items in my air fryer oven). What do I love about this toaster? First, it's small in size so it doesn't take up much more room than my 4-slice toaster did. Second, and most important, it makes GREAT toast and is twice as fast as any toaster I've ever used. Truly, the toast is made in lighting speed due to the double radiant lights. Third, I love that the toaster lights up inside (bright) while toasting so that I can see the toast get darker and can stop it a few seconds earlier if needed. I also like the small "ding" when the toast is finished (there is also a timer that shows how long the item will take). Fourth, it's super easy to use, push the ON button, push the TOAST button, and (if desired) push a button to increase or decrease darkness. The toast comes out gorgeous - evenly brown, crispy, and toasted well on BOTH sides!! Finally, I love that the oven will fit 4 small standard pieces of bread or two very large/long slices (sourdough, corn rye). The toast shown in the photos is an over-sized slice of rye bread that used to stick out of the top of my old toaster (and needed to be flipped to fully toast). Amazing!! Other items cook equally well and fast - reheated pizza slices and frozen snacks (this is what I've tried so far). Bottom line, I highly recommend this little oven even if you only use it for toast!

After months of reading reviews I purchased finally bought this. Surprisingly this toaster oven pretty much lives up to my expectations. It is easy to operate, the controls are straightforward and it actually works great as a toaster and for reheating. Very fast heating and toasting. Good interior lighting. My reasons for only four stars are: the price is a bit higher than others and the overall build of the unit is a little bit flimsy (as compared to a vintage GE toaster oven) but if handled with care I am pretty confident it will last at least a few years.
