shd i be looking at the wattage or something?
Here are some of the issues I considered for a toaster-oven:
I wanted one that has about 1/2 cubic foot capacity, large enough for that small pizza or an entree for two. This size would allow me to toast at least 4 pieces of bread at the same time, toast bagels and English muffins and toast other very thick breads.
To do the things I needed it to do I needed about 1500 watts
I wanted one with a toast color selector with an automatic shut-off allowing me to choose from light to dark for toast.
A heavy non-stick interior would make cleanup quick.
I wanted to view the entire cooking process so there should be an interior light.
The machine I wanted would be designed so that the dual oven racks automatically advance when I opened the door.
The machine must have truly cool-touch sides. It must also have an easily removable crumb tray.
It should have reasonably easy-to-use cooking controls.
Since this machine would sit on my counter, I needed it to be reasonably attractive.
(Hope using these criteria will help you)
