Euro-Pro TO140L Toaster Oven Review

Our toaster of 15 years broke and we needed to replace it.  Needless to say we had not looked around at toasters much before purchasing this one.  We found the Euro-toaster model number TO140L for $30.  It toasts, broils, and can be used on oven setting with temperature controll.  You then turn the bottom knob and the timer ticks away while it toasts.  It ticks even when it is not plugged in.  This really confused us.  We would think we were toasting something and it wasn't plugged in but it was ticking away.  Once we figured out how to work it we found that the dial was not a good gage of "toastedness" it either came out not toasted enough or burnt.  You basically need to stand by the toaster and grab it when it looks done.  I find this annoying and often burn the toast.  My other issue with the toaster is it takes up a great deal of room on the counter.  Overall the toaster does what it needs to do and then price is OK however it is not overly convenient or easy to use.
