It was pointed out that paint problems with older models had been cleared up, which was a good sign for many people who decided to purchase it. While it was a simple and relatively small toaster oven, it was said to work really well. It was called both beautiful and efficient by some reviewers. Low ratings were spotty, with one person giving it one star because it didn't shut off automatically and they were worried they might leave it on and set a fire. Most people didn't see this problem (being safe cooks), and liked the price and features both.
