When our beloved 30 year old (from dorm days!) toaster oven died, we thought we'd go buy one just like it -- basic, small, good at toasting, yet usable as a small oven.Alas, nobody seemed to make anything like it.They tended to be larger, and didn't do a good job toasting bread.
After reading lost of discouraging reviews and trying a couple of toaster ovens, we had just about given up, when we saw the Toastation.What a great little unit!Makes great toast, nice and fast like a toaster should (through a slot in the top).Then flip a switch, and the top slot closes and it turns into a nice little oven.
It doesn't hog the whole counter (outside dimensions: 15" wide, 7 1/2 deep, and 8 high).The inside of the oven is small (6 1/2" deep by 10 1/2" wide by 2" high), so don't plan on baking pizza in it.

Hamilton Beach 22708H Toastation 2-Slice Toaster and Mini Oven, BlackProduct Description: Save on counter space with this two-in-one appliance. The unit functions as both a traditional toaster and as a toaster oven. As a toaster, it provides a 1-1/2-inch-wide toasting slot that can fit up to two slices of bread, two frozen waffles, or two halves of a bagel or English muffin. Simply drop in the item to be toasted, adjust the shade setting by turning the control knob, and push down the lever on the side. A convenient "cancel" button stops the toasting at any time. Easily switch from the toaster function to the oven by sliding the function lever on the front of the unit. This will seal the toaster slot and trap in the heat. The oven provides a temperature-control knob for just the right amount of heat, and its spacious interior will accommodate chicken nuggets, French fries, two 16-inch pizza slices, or two 5-inch single-serve pizzas. Other thoughtful details include automatic shutoff for safety, a removable crumb tray for quick cleanup, and a sleek, stylish look in a compact design. The two-slice toaster and oven combination unit measures approximately 17 by 9 by 9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

We got this as a wedding gift and absolutely adore it!I missed having a toaster oven... he wanted a traditional toaster...this way we both win!An excellent conversation piece for our kitchen, and unlike our previous toaster, this one gets used a lot!We've made toast for breakfast, hors d'oeuvres for company, and french bread pizza for lazy dinner nights.The only reason I wouldn't rate this a five star is that I am not certain that the toaster oven gets up to the temperature I set it at, and things take a bit longer than expected to cook.Other than that, we love it!
