Product Description: From Sanyo, this is the Super Toasty oven, a two-tiered oven that takes up minimal space yet offers enough room for toasting bagels, hamburger buns or open-faced sandwiches. The Super Toasty toaster lets you brown bagels perfectly every time: placed cut-side down, the bagels' thicker tops warm from the top while the cut sides crisp and brown more deeply. Use the top rack for melting cheese on open-faced sandwiches or broiling the tops of mini pizzas. Use the bottom rack for reheating or keeping food warm. For timing your foods, the Super Toasty oven comes with a 15-minute bell and an auto shutoff. For easy access, the racks with metal trays slide out when the door is opened. The Sanyo toaster oven comes with a removable crumb tray and a cord storage holder.
Amazon.com Review: With the high expense of electricity, it can be costly to turn on a full-size oven for quick toasting and browning tasks. This toaster oven is a simple answer to keep electrical costs down. Use it for toasting bagels that don't always fit in a conventional toaster, or for melting cheese over a favorite sandwich. It can even be used for browning the tops of individual meringue tarts. Standing 13 inches high by 9 inches wide by 8-1/2 inches deep (including the handles), it obviously doesn't require too much counter space. It lets you select the specific elements--there are three: bottom, middle, and top--needed for a particular task. The oven also comes with a 15-minute safety auto shut-off, which is helpful for the busy and easily distracted teenager who maybe preparing their own after school snack. As a precaution, the oven should always be unplugged from the power source when it's not in use or when it's being cleaned. --Teresa Simanton

Rating: - Good idea - and small!
I really like my Toasty. I purchased this toaster because we needed one that would fit in a narrow space and this worked perfectly. We've used it for a variety of toasting and it seems to do the job well. Also, the color is nice. Its a lighter matte silver than normal and its easy to clean. The only down side is that its a tight squeeze to put 4 pieces of some of the larger pieces of bread in at a time, but it does work. Also, the toast turns out just a tad dry, but I think that's pretty typical for a toaster oven. Good deal, especially if your counter space is limited.
Rating: - The low-down
We don't have a lot of counter space and we used our old toaster oven mainly for toast. So when replacing it I considered getting a regular toaster. Still, it's nice to be able to reheat pizza or fix fish sticks in a handy little toaster oven. Then I saw this one -- it has a small footprint! It gets great reviews! Can 42 people be wrong? So I got it, and I was keen to like it too. But here's the low-down -- my list of pros and cons, when compared to a regular toaster oven or toaster.
Pros:
-- It has a smaller footprint than a regular toaster oven.
Rating: - This is a real space saving.
I love this vertical shape that really saves space in my kitchen. It is small but powerful enough to work as toaster oven.

This toaster oven has plenty of rom and does just about everything in the way of toasting and/or baking. It is small enough to be stored away and yet takes up little counter space when in use. It can cook on one or two shelves and gives a ringing sound when it has completed its job. It is ideal for a kitcheen with little counter space and for use in the office. It has two shelves and two separate toasting/baking ranges. It even has a cooking timer that "rings" when its job is done.

SANYO SK7S-ST/TOASTER-OVEN/BAGEL/2STORYI owned this toaster for over ten years and it was beginning to look "old". I was delighted to find it was still being made and purchased this new one in chrome color rather than the white I had before. It's absolutely beautiful. I especially like the size and the fact that it stands vertically, taking up much less space on my too-small counter. It not only toasts bagels and regular bread, but it can't be beat for warming pizza with a crispy crust.
