Customer Reviews DeLonghi DO1289 Convection Toaster Oven

I bought this oven from Zappos about 1 month ago, and really glad I did. It's a solid kitchen appliance: looks good, performs great. I use it several times a day to toast bread, make melted cheese sandwiches, heat up leftover food, even bake a loaf of ginger bread. The oven is very quiet, gets very hot (on the inside, not the outside), and is very spacious despite its small size. It also has some cool functions, like dehydration (haven't tried yet), as well as defrosting. Another cool feature: a light bulb on the inside. It also comes with a pizza baking sheet, dehydrator racks, and cookie baking sheets. It's also is very easy to use, and it has a digital clock. I love this toaster oven!

Long time Delonghi user. This is an update version of what we had. I do most of my cooking in it and feed a family of 4! From cornish hens to steak to toast. It's awesome. Buy it! Zappos is amazing. I ordered it and received it in less than 2 days! Insane!

After reading the reviews of apparently picky people, I bought the unit anyway because its atop of the line product from a top of the line brand. I have been so far very pleased with everything about the oven. The features are great and east to use. Also, it looks great on the counter!

I started shopping for a convection toaster when I went microwave-free. I read hundreds of reviews before I chose this oven. I really like the way it cooks/bakes. My only complaint is that it's hard to push the on/off button and that if you want a temperature lower than 350, you have to cycle all the way up to the highest temp and then back to the lowest. And the cookie sheets it comes with are hard to get in and out. But those are pretty minor complaints and wouldn't keep me from recommending this oven. It has lots of great features and works really well. And food tastes so much better (and is healthier) when it's reheated in the oven instead of the microwave!

Ditto to what has been said by the others! Great piece of equipment, Zappos ain't bad either, quick to respond.

The DeLonghi is a great oven for the price. Living in the Southwest the temperatures in the summer can reach in the triple digits for days in a row. I didn't want to give up oven baked meals so I invested in a convection oven. I went to Viewpoints.com to find others reviews. This particular model toasts, has a baking try, pizza tray, dehydrates. This is my 1st experience with DeLonghi and I am very pleased with my decision. I chose to order from Zappos because they're price was the best and they ship for free.

My old DeLonghi convection won't turn off and had for almost 20 years - loved it. Pros The new one is larger but not huge. When done you get a beep and it turns off, safe. Toast is okay (not a big toast person). Cons Fan is awfully noisy like it is broke and won't ever use the fan. The one time I used the baking pan the enamel wore off (just soaked in water). Retrieved the old pans from the trash and tossed the new in the basement. Disappointed. Could have saved money purchasing a regular oven. I would return if it is wasn't such a bother. Still may send back.

Yes! Thank you DeLonghi This is the brand I have had for the past 20 years and I am not disappointed with this oven. It does everything you would expect of a small oven and beyond. I tried other ones that did not hold a candle to this one, as far as reaching the temp and all of the equipment that came with it. It is a good price for all the quality you get with this oven. Have tried all the settings except for the dehydration, which I will use in the summer for fruits. But I am sure with all that is right with this oven it will be beyond great.

Very practical; less heat in the kitchen; preparing meals is now easier.

I am writing to update my earlier review on this oven. My oven light has burned out and Delongi has discontinued this bulb and I can not find a replacement anywhere on this earth; so beware if you are buying this oven for the light which was very nice and allowed you to see inside while cooking. One other item...don't use the convection for baking biscuits because it burns the tops before they are done. I would not use the cookie baking selection either because 30 min is just too long and they will burn. The regular baking selection you can turn down for shorter baking and does work fine.
