Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was given this by a coworker as a trailer warming gift for use in my new trailer which will be a seasonal home April through October. It was purchased from Amazon and arrived in perfect condition and with it's original seals. The unit it very adorable and the black print on the light blue housing is easier to read than the white on red, in my opinion. The coffee maker worked great. The contents was well packaged and everything was there. All you need to do is remove some tape that holds things together in their place and attach the handle for the lid to the glass and metal lid over the grill. That being said, we also cleaned it before use. The timer worked too. The grill/toaster oven though was an issue. It would heat up for less than a minute, but we were able to see the heating elements turn red twice. Unfortunately, that was all we were able to get out of the grill/toaster oven. We cleaned it back up and repackaged it to return to my coworker. She contacted Amazon and another one was promptly shipped out and it arrived in good condition as far as the outer box. Amazon didn't require receiving the defective unit before sending a replacement which was a real good situation since these have been out of stock. Tonight we will clean and test the replacement. We are excited by the item and all the possibilities on ways to use it. This is built to be very easy to clean and for that alone we recommend it. The style, ease of use, and convenience are perfect for one or two people, limited space condos, apartments, trailers, or camping, college dorms, possibly work sites, or making items in shifts for more than 2 people. The grill pan is light weight and removable for easy cleaning. There is an inner and outer tray to catch things that fall during baking. The glass lid keeps steam and grease under control. The filter basket is removable, reusable, and easy to clean. You can even remove the basket that the filter sits into, and coffee drips through, and clean that too. The area below that is easily cleaned with both removed. The rack stays put when the door of the toaster over is opened. There are two heights for the rack and a drip pan. There is a crumb pan for toast crumbs or anything that gets past the lower pan in the toaster over. We're really looking forward to a working one and using it camping. I image that when used for more than two people, using the top to cook sausage links under the glass cover would be possible while making eggs or something else either on your stove, in a microwave, crockpot, or perhaps a small baking dish of a breakfast casserole in the toaster oven. While the baked dish is resting, you can toast up some bread, bake some mini muffins, or bake some potato hash brown patties in the toaster oven. We've thought of sliders grilled on the top while toasting buns in the oven, pot pies, frozen entrees that aren't too big, soft pretzels, cookies, mini muffins, cupcakes we think would be possible in a 6 cups pan, baked onion rings or potato products, hot pockets, French toast, French toast sticks, toasted waffles, corn muffins, and with some creativity you can come up with so many other ideas for this. For the cupcakes, we want to try a box of Jiffy cake mix and frosting mix to make 6 cupcakes at a time or maybe mini cupcakes/muffins. We intend to try brownies too. I'm drooling now and need to stop. You all get the idea. I've added an update on the second unit in the comments. I've also upgraded the rating from 4 stars to 5 stars as there are just so many pros and so few cons; after all- in today's world there's always a chance for a defect here or there or something that stops working due to shipping and the next unit worked just great. Amazon was wonderful. BTW - my coworker included an extended warranty with the gift, bought from here on Amazon as a good price compared to what stores charge. If my experience causes you any doubt please consider the extra few dollars for the extended warranty so you have peace of mind and purchase one of these. I feel you won't be disappointed as long as you keep the size of the coffee pot (4 cups) and toaster oven/grill in mind and aren't expecting something too big. I feel this is sized right and will provide us a lot of use in the future. Have a good life! If you liked my review and comment and found them useful, please click Yes. :-)
