KitchenAidDual Convection Countertop Oven - KCO255

I love this Kitchenaid oven. So easy to understand, and it's much more accurate temperature than the it's replacing, but my old one is just that OLD. I have my other one for 7 or 8 years and it wasn't as large, it started struggling to cook and I'm happy we did a little research on the better ones out there and I agree, Kitchenaid is better brand and known for its longevity. I would Highly recommend it.

My wife and I use our toaster oven all the time. Once the pandemic hit, we both started working from home and was toasting and cooking more things in the toaster oven. We made so many things that we decided to upgrade our toaster oven to this convection oven. Yes, it’s a bit pricey for a tabletop appliance but wow does it do so many things! Here’s what we like:PROS- Lots of functions: The toast function toasts our bread perfectly once we found the “right” setting. The convection feature is great for reheating things and getting a crispy texture. The oven feature is awesome for baking smaller dishes. Plus, the function screen is easy to read and navigate.- Preheats fast: Our big oven takes a while to preheat and my wife and I can get a bit impatient. The KitchenAid convection oven preheats atleast 2x faster. We haven’t really used our big oven since this purchase since we make smaller dishes anyway!CONS- It’s big: Honestly, you can see this as a pro as well. We love that we can fit moderately sized dishes in the oven but dislike how much space it takes on our counter.Anyway, my wife and I have been enjoying this convection oven since the day we bought it. Frozen fries from the grocery store cook way faster and are crispier as well! I recommend this oven to anyone who depends a lot on a toaster oven and wants to expand its capacity.

This is one of the best purchase I made and it,works perfectly awesome. I was looking for a countertop oven and I searched for many and finally I trusted kitchen aid. I know it’s expensive but it worth the price and Amazon is giving the best price for the prime members. The oven was delivered with care and it worked very well although I was confused after reading the negative reviews but the pizza was baked perfectly well in it. The preheat is only for 2 minutes and the oven start the baking or toasting right after that. The heat pressure is just like big oven and most of all it’s very easy to clean.it looks very attractive on kitchen shelf and kitchen aid made it perfectly like a big oven.a large pizza could be baked easily in it and if h have frozen pizza it took only 10 minutes and the most of all it has the broil option also. Thankfully I am the right choice

I have always been a fan of Kitchenaid appliances, my stand mixer is over 30 years old. This small oven does not disappoint. Very well designed and first impressions of cooking ability is very satisfying. I would recommend this product over the cheaper brands. This also arrived a week before estimated arrival date.

This is a great oven. I use it to primarily make crusts for pies and tarts. But the thermostat is extremely off. Upon preheating the oven to 400, it indicates that it is preheated when the temp is only 270. My oven thermometer shows multiple hot/cool spots in this oven, so it takes some real getting used to. But the convenience and quality of it are very good, so I'm overall happy about it. Just wish they would fix the internal thermometer so it truly heats the oven to the desired temperature.

I don't think "toaster/oven" is quite the right description. It's big - big enough to use as a second oven, but it still makes great toast. I can fit my largest casserole dish in it. No "toaster/oven" we've ever owned was able to cook as well as this one does. There are lots of things I like about it. It's quiet, easy to use, and it's super easy to clean the crumb tray - just open the door and pull it out. A light comes on when food is inside so you can keep an eye on what's happening. The kids said it was "like watching a cooking show". It's sleek looking and it's solidly made - a big upgrade from a standard "toaster/oven". It looks great with all my other KitchenAid appliances. The tray and racks are especially nice. They're made for actual cooking because it's an actual small oven. We reheated restaurant pizza and cooked frozen pizza on the rack and it cooked evenly. It preheats about as fast as expected. I baked 8 potatoes and it took the same amount of time as it does in my big, baby - the "Professional" KitchenAid gas/electric range. The controls are easy to use. The kids didn't need to read the manual to understand how to use it. The sides and back do get warm, but even at 400 degrees after one hour, I could still touch the sides without getting burned. I probably wouldn't touch the glass though.One thing to note is that the manual says to allow 4" clearances on the sides and back, so you can't shove it in a corner. That's the only negative I've found so far, and it's not a big deal for this kitchen layout, but may be for others. There is another brand that advertises cool sides, but apparently all the heat is sent out of the back which seems worse to me if you have to place it under an upper cabinet as I do.The bottom line is that this is exactly what we needed. A small second oven that saves energy, and still makes toast.
