After one of the heating elements in my Krups toaster oven died after a year and a half, I began my internet research on what to buy for another toaster oven. The qualities I was looking for were: not too big for my counter; easy and quick for making toast or bagels; easy to clean; oven that had enough space from the heating unit so as not to burn rolls;and economically priced. This meets all these requirements, and there was a bonus. The front glass door rolls back into the unit, rather than dropping down onto the counter. This gives more room in front for buttering the toast, etc. The only small complaint is that all of the crumbs do not end up on the crumb tray, so it takes a little extra effort to sweep them away. But not a big issue.

I have used this proctor silex several months now almost on a daily basis. Although it was considerably cheaper than many high end toaster ovens, I wish I had spent the extra money to get a better product. I mostly use it to toast, occasionally to broil. It toasts VERY unevenly. Burn spots in some places, not cooked at all in others. I also find I typically have to flip what I'm toasting around and reset it for another toasting cycle. The feature I like about it is that it's compact and the door slides up instead of flipping out, but it is hard to clean.

In an effort to save on power costs, I bought this to bake in, rather than heating up my whole (in Texas) townhouse. I also have a relative with celiac who lives in a non-gluten-free home, and I wanted to try to develop recipes that she could make for herself separately while the gluten-eaters are doing their own cooking. A toaster oven like this is fantastic for that purpose. So far, I have baked fish, peanutbutter cookies, falafel, homemade gluten-free pizza crust, lentil casserole, tostadas, gluten-free bread in a pyrex bread pan, and gluten-free brownies in this. I think you could also use this for gluten-free chicken bites and fish sticks.
It heats up fast; it comes with a pan that fits in the oven and an easy-to-remove crumb tray; there are no odd chemical smells, and the slide-down front cover saves space on the countertop (it only takes up the space of the actual toaster oven, not the counter space in front of the oven as well.) More importantly, it has a timer that will turn the oven off when 15 minutes are up; that's very helpful if you're one of those people who tends to wonder about leaving appliances on, or you actually do leave appliances on.
I'm only giving it four stars, though--it will brown and bake with very little mess--but it doesn't toast bread, even though it has little bread icons and a 'toast' setting. It is, however, good for crisping up storebought gluten-free bread that has gotten a little too solid. So, I'd give it four and a half stars, really. It's almost perfect.
Edit: I figured out how to get it to toast--put in on "Broil" for the amount of time you would toast. I suppose this now gets 4 3/4 stars.

I researched this purchase and decided on this toaster oven because of its size. I have a small kitchen and this does not take up much counter space. Love the retro style. Like the ease of use...only two knobs to set. The interior size is smaller than I thought it would be. Right now I can only fit a loaf pan inside. My 8x8 glass pans don't fit because of the handles, however, the 8x8 metal pan does. Also, any food cooked in a pan seems to get the top overcooked because it is so close the the heating element. I have solved this by covering with foil the first half of the cooking time.

Don't buy this toaster oven. The door was stuck and the handle broke off before I even got to use it one time. I have returned it and bought something else.
