Review Text: Real heat is best at times for some foods. Some foods need to be cooked or defrosted from frozen not in a microwave oven but in a real hot oven such as this GE Calrod 6-Slice Toaster Oven with Convection bake. And some food, such as leftover pizza slices, turn to rubber if warmed up in a microwave. This GE toaster oven is perfect for those foods while avoiding the extreme cost of using a regular kitchen oven. We have used it for the simple things such as toast, English muffins and bagels since getting it and like it very much. It is also great for other foods such as cold lasagna, bacon, meats, and chicken wings. The convection fan distributes the hot air around the oven and that means that food cooks more evenly. In addition, we need to mention the simple control panel. Two knobs and 3 buttons control all functions and the easy to follow 3 pages in the simple instruction book makes learning the function fast. If you hate the beep sound those can be turned off; if you have young children there is a way to disable the controls (don't let them see you do it: young kids are sharp!) In hot weather we will be using this GE toaster oven more since who wants to use the regular large kitchen oven to heat up the house and put more strain on the air conditioning? And in the winter this small oven is great for making breakfast items and also warming up the kitchen. The delivery is in a brown shipping box which contains the shiny "retail box" for GE. So it is well packed in 2 boxes for shipment. Very nice GE and Haier. The oven is made in China by Haier which owns GE consumer products per the owner booklet page.
