Great toaster so far...Lets see how long it will last!
Its new, and ANY toaster oven that is new is pretty much great with the features you shop for.But, I am tired of buying ovens that die after 2-3 4 years of use. We had great toasters for under $30 that lasted over a decade. Why cant we still do that today?!! I have gone through about 6 toasters in 10 years!!! Before that I had 1 toaster for the previous 10 years, and so did friends and family because we had less obsolete products.
Today with all the preset features that can be handy for some people who cant turn and set a dail...(See below for the type of people Im talking about). ..
When they get beyond ugly and hard to clean and its an eyesoar was when we threw them away...working! Heat and electronics don't mix!
Panasonic was smart to use the electronics on the bottom, where its exposed to less constant heat. I hope that keeps it working longer than those on the side. The heating is pretty simple. Once it is on you just hit 2 buttons and its cookin'! Its compact as well.
CNET did a review by their tech folks and they said that the oven was calibrated for Celsius and claimed that it was a negative and wish it was done in Fahrenheit. Are CNet techs holographic Ai robots that can't think? If you have the oven heating at C temp set, that means its a direct conversion that Panasonic LABELS BOTH for you!!!! So if you want to know the temp setting in Celsius, you look at the C numbers on the strip. If you want to know in Fahrenheit, you look at the F numbers. Hello?!! McFly?!
This is shocking, as I was watching Youtube videos on this other reviewers were REPEATING this mental dilemma!
So I will see how this lasts, and then give the star the right setting. For now it is a hopeful 4 strs!.
But, it is a FAST toaster, and I thought at first it maybe too small for many things...its NOT!
