6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven

I’ve had this toaster for almost a year now. Still don’t understand how it works. Preheating - timer function seems broken. What’s the trick Paderno. Why is something that should be so simple not function properly? Do away with the preheat please. I can work with just a timer that shuts off when the time expires, but if this is a defect let me know so I can take it back and get one that works.

Looking for a toaster oven than might bake things...but might just stay on pre-heat forever, never start the timer, and then shut off automatically?

I assume there's some sort of programming issue...but what a complete waste of time and money. Don't buy it.

Posting it to help any new owners and all those who are frustrated in the other reviews about the pre-heat and timer.

If you are having issues with the pre-heat and timer, make sure to press the "select" function after setting the time.

So choose mode, press select
Choose temp, press select
Choose time, then Select
And THEN press start.

I think a lot of people are selecting the time, and then pressing start (without select in between)

Anyway...need to press a lot of buttons just to activate very basic functions.

I am with the reviewers who long for the simplicity of the analog toaster ovens.

This is the best looking toaster oven at CT in my opinion. Over priced, and too many steps to setup basic operations.

Once past all the button pressing, seems to do a good job so far.

If anyone can help with the above it would greatly help me to make friends with this challenging product,.

If you use it everyday, expect the element to start warping after the first year. Ours lasted for another year or so, but now the element is exposed and no longer safe to use.
