rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author magnusmx - I love Sony products. With the exception of a few of their technologies I think they are the leader in innovation in many fields, of which consumer electronics is one of them. There is a reason why Sony can demand a premium for their products...

the Best Toaster oven

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 02:43:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magnusmx - Cuisinart Convection Oven Review I never liked baking, broiling, heating food in the big oven. It takes a while to pre-heat, feels like a waste of electricity when I only have one small item inside, and cleaning up can be a mess. And who cooks meals...
