Professional reviewers commend the TO1313SBD for its EvenToast Technology, compact stainless-steel build, and reliable 30-minute timer, noting it delivers solid basic performance at a low price. However, they criticize the absence of a convection fan, the manual knob interface, and the short power cord, which place it behind more feature-rich digital models.
Everyday users generally praise the oven's quick heating, even toasting, and easy-clean crumb tray, especially appreciating its small footprint for apartments. Recurring frustrations include timer inaccuracy, uneven broiling on edges, a short cord, an initial plastic odor, and occasional rack warping after extended use.

They appreciate the even heating up to 450°F and the ability to handle a 9-inch pizza or a batch of fries, but note the limited rack positions and absence of a convection fan.
Everyday users praise the convenience of a single appliance that can toast long artisan slices, bake small pizzas and clean up easily thanks to a slide-out crumb tray, while recurring complaints revolve around the slot's height limitation and the lack of long-term durability information.
