Some differences between the manual control model and the digital model
I just got my countertop oven today and between reading the manual, doing a little research (including reading reviews and Q&As), and taking a test drive, I’ve answered most of my own questions.Regarding number of modes – the digital model has one more mode than the manual model: you can proof yeast dough in the digital model but not the manual one. Some people would never use that setting but since gas ovens don’t have pilot lights anymore, anyone who bakes with yeast might welcome that extra setting.Regarding preheating – the digital model does display an indicator for when the oven is preheating. Annoyingly, the timer starts ticking down before the oven reaches temp, which shortens the selected cooking time. For example if you want to bake for 30 minutes and set the timer at 30, it will have timed down to something like 26 minutes before it reaches operating temp. You’ll have to set it back up to 30 when you put whatever you’re cooking in the oven. The manual model apparently doesn’t let you know when the selected temp has been reached.I was puzzled by the fact that the manual control model was less expensive than the digital model, but today is see that the price of the manual model has been reduced such that it’s now less expensive than the digital model.I haven’t actually used one of the manual control models but the toaster oven I’m replacing with the digital model had the same 3 knobs, and it was very intuitive. The digital model requires turning AND push-clicking two knobs, and there’s a separate start/stop button. So the digital model takes some getting used to, and it’s less than perfect, but it does provide some extra functionality, so I’m not sorry I got it.This one’s pretty obvious, but based on comments, the manual model has a mechanical timer. If you find the ticking of the timer to be an annoyance, you might like the digital model with the (silent) electronic timer.I’ve seen reviews where people said the ovens are too small and others that say they’re too big. I think the ovens are about right for a countertop appliance. The sides, front, and top are double-walled which makes the outside of the box much bigger than the inside, but saves energy and moderates surface temps (the back and bottom are single-wall but there are bumpers in the back to keep the appliance away from the kitchen wall). So it’s a very reasonable compromise, IMO.Honestly, I think it was a mistake to list these two items as one. The item description, the Q&As and the ratings lump everything together so it’s nearly impossible to know what’s what. Even so, I think these ovens are versatile, well-designed, attractive, and fairly easy to use. There are pros and cons between the two variations but most people can’t go wrong with either one.

This toaster oven is high quality and the perfect size. Because it has mechanical controls, you don’t have to push a series of buttons every time you use it. I use the same settings every time, so I never have to adjust the controls. I simply turn the timer knob clockwise to start cooking- literally one operation to get things started.The timer has a faint clicking sound and a there is a white jewel light which lets you know the oven is on. When cooking is complete, a pleasant chime sounds once and cooking stops.It has a hiqh-quality front door and the shelves are great. It looks classy with a brushed aluminum appearance. It operates without any surprises.
