Customer Reviews for KitchenAid 12 in. Countertop Convection Oven in Contour Silver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got it last week and so far so good. Only made toast but I'm loving it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had it for a month. Perfect fit for my small kitchen, I plan using it instead of the large conventional oven. Baking is pretty quick so you'll probably need to adjust your time. I've used all functions except 'broil'. So far the only complaint is with the Temperature dial, not sure if I should turn to the number or the black dot. The lettering on the knobs/dials could be much more distinct.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this little oven. Used it in my summer kitchen for the past 3 months. Did not heat up the house with the regular oven in the summer heat and could still enjoy our regular recipes. Pizzas come out just as nice as regular gas oven. The only con is that it's quite hot on the outside just like all the other small ovens I have owned.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this product to replace a pizza oven. I like that I can place a 12" frozen pizza in it. It also works great for my teen age children to use during the summer while I am at work so they are not using the large oven and heating up the house during the day in the summer when it is warm outside.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the construction and quality, lots of room. It heats up quickly and the outside gets warm but not extremely hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a great deal, so I couldn't pass it up. I used it once to make zucchini bread. I realized after I baked it that I didn't adjust the recipe to convection oven time and temp but everyone loved the bread. I found a convection oven time and temp conversion calculator on the web which I'll use in the future. Apparently, you ignore preheating instructions. I'm still learning.

I really like this product. The convection feature allows more versatility than a regular toaster oven. It looks nice. I especially like the stainless steel exterior. Its easy to clean. The only complaint I have is the knobs are hard to read.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a month ago had to replace it because of the noise when heating up. The replacement is just okay.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the functionality and look of this oven. We had a smaller oven before which didn't have a very good seal due to the lightness of the oven door. Great for am alternative to the standard oven in a two person home. I have baked and cooked dinner just like in a standard oven. I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and I'm so happy with it. Takes up very little space on my counter, yet fits a full size pizza. How do they do that?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] got it a few weeks ago. Use it all the time .Don't know why I waited so to get it!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my wife bought this as a replacement. Best one yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way it toasts, so, gently, yet so thorough. Pizzas are done much tastier and evenly in this convection oven, than in my conventional oven. In addition, many frozen items, like my chicken pot pie, are cooked to perfection, no cool spots! The oven heats up quickly and cools off quickly, too! The unit is quiet and the 'done' alarm' is sufficient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this last month & use it every day! Broil, bake & toast in it; so I haven't used my big oven at all!

As a convection oven this is the best. The only additional features they've come out with is a digital read-out panel which adds $100 to the price. The controls are a bit hard to read because of the shiny knobs. The biggest drawback is the time it takes to toast. Don't buy if you are going to just toast bread. Use the preheat suggested in the manual to speed up the process. We love not having to heat up the stove's oven and the convection makes it fast. We are two retired folks that will be enjoying this oven for a long time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] because there is just the two of us now, I don.t have to use the big oven. it's great.I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I now have more room on my counter. The Kitchen Aid oven takes the place of multiple appliances and is my daily friend. I keep finding less reasons to use even my microwave. The Kitchen Aid toaster oven does it all. And it keeps the food warm until ready for use. E

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I might or might not recommend this to a friend....There are a couple of things about it I would like to see improved upon. All the dials are etched with what their purpose is 'bake', 'toast' etc. Nothing says microwave The knobs are chrome and so is the printing on them. Very, very difficult to see and I have good eyesight. It is my understanding this Countertop Oven bakes and convection bakes?! Can't really tell by the information in the pamphlet received with it. Does it or doesn't it? There is only 1 light to show it's operating. It get extremely hot on the top when operating it. The pamphlet could provide a bit more information and clarification.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice oven - does everything it is suppose to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First saw the product at my daughter's...liked it so I bought one for myself. It is very convenient to use for my small baking/grilling/toasting needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it, being a widow I don't have turn on the big oven with it I use less power and AC. It's great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I must admit to being an "Appliance Junky"! I love them but never have I made such a wise purchase! For hot summer months, it is wonderful to still enjoy our favorite foods and yet not heat up the house. I cannot believe the ease in which to clean the unit. Equally important is the "Kitchen Aid" manufacturer. The trust I have for the brand is so important. Lastly, I am proud to display my counter top unit. The stainless steel design is perfect for us. My only recommendation would be to develop an outside casing that would protect users from the heat of the unit. It can and does burn you if you are not paying attention not unlike using a conventional office. For us, this unit is the best!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in the Southwest gets pretty hot in the summer, I love to bake but it heats my house up to much. Now that I have my Convection Bake Countertop Oven I can bake year round. The oven doesn't put off much heat, it doesn't take up much room and it is pretty. I would recommend this oven to everyone in the Southwest!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 2 months ago and have used it in multiple ways. It totally surpasses the oven I had before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son who does a lot of the cooking around here, did his research and we landed on this product. The best ever, does everything and makes life a joy to go from toast, to broil and small baking projects. It stays super clean and all the racks allows for a lot of options!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use this to avoid turning on the oven and heating up the house in the summer. Fits a frozen pizza! Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even with the oven preheated, the typos odd food burns and bottoms are left raw. Put pies etc. Yuck

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the oven for my 86 year old Father. He loves it and doesn't have to heat up his stove. I should have purchased the next model up that has a digital readout as the shiny knobs are very hard to read.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Summer will make this a well used addition to my kitchen.
