I just returned it and got my money back. Looked at the GE which is larger (will actually hold a 9x9 pan) and wrote down the numbers on it. I just got off the phone with GE and guess what . . there is no such thing as a Toaster Oven. They are all toaster-toasters or toaster-broilers. In toaster mode the bottom 2 elements are off and the top elements are on, the same as the broiler mode. In oven mode both top elements are on and both bottom elements are on meaning it's trying to bake but the broiler elements will burn everything black before it can bake anything. There is no mode that bakes, meaning bottom elements on and top elements off like a real oven. Biggest rip-off I've ever seen.

I have a toaster, convection/ rotisseri that works really well. I love using it as an oven for baking items durring the summer heat months.
No toaster oven or any oven should have the top coil come on in baking mode. That's broiler mode too, lol.
Glad you were able to get your money back.

I'm glad to hear that you did get your money back too. But, just joining in, I'm wondering if you are looking at any toaster ovens. I read reviews from people telling of various brands that they are happy with. Have you checked on that?
