I was considering this oven and the Breville Smart Pro Countertop oven (which surprisingly was less expensive, even if marginally so) and finally decided on the Calphalon for two reasons: first, I have a cat who sits on top of the microwave in the kitchen so she can stare at the dog when he eats and I was concerned she'd jump on a countertop oven while in use and give herself a nasty burn. The cool touch feature on this oven won me over.
Second, I bake bread year round and in the summer my gas range really heats up my kitchen. When I saw the step cook function with proof/bake I was completely sold and ordered it (and yes, a 9x5 bread pan with a lip on both ends fits easily in this oven.)
Another big plus was the interior light. Not many of these countertop ovens feature it but it's important to be able to check on the progress of your food without opening the door and letting out heat.
The build just screams quality. The finish is beautiful and the Calphalon logo on the (very solid) handle as well as on the top of the unit shows attention to detail. The door glides open and shut quietly and doesn't clang or rattle. Even the included accessories look fairly high in quality. And it looks elegant in my kitchen and not trashy like the old toaster ovens always did. I have it on a finished wood kitchen island and to avoid scorching the wood I have a thick silicone mat underneath it. It preheats quickly and all of the various functions work well.
By the way, I've made french fries in it using the dehydrator basket and the oven set to Turbo Convection and the fries turned out crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It actually does a better job than my air fryer, although obviously I wouldn't put something like wings in this basket. But for fries it's great.
If I have a quibble it's the utterly inadequate user manual that's included. It's more of a pamphlet than an actual user manual and it tells you in the (one page) of densely written text that forms the actual user manual portion of this pamphlet that if you need further usage instructions to go to their website. Seriously? It doesn't even cover one of the unique and most important features advertised on this oven, the step cook function, and I'm supposed to scrabble around on Calphalon's website to find this information? Not acceptable to make the consumer hunt for instructions that should be included with the oven. I want a full manual in hand and not this cheaply produced pamphlet. Calphalon, do better.

Better than Expected
I told my husband we needed a new toaster oven. He told me he ordered one and this BEAST showed up! At first, I was really upset. This thing is huge! (You can see my Instant Pot on the right in the photo to get a size idea). I thought this will be a massive eyesore on our kitchen counter! But, we managed to put it in a corner so you cannot even see it from most places. Then I got to use it. The instructor manual is ridiculously lacking (it’s basically a trifold brochure). But thankfully, it’s pretty easy to figure out. It preheats FAST! It’s easy to adjust cooking time whether it’s toasting bread, toasting a bagel or baking a burrito! I definitely like it! It’s preferable to use over our regular oven since it heats up fast and is the perfect size for our small families needs. If you have plenty of counter space, I’d definitely recommend this!
