Maxi-Matic EBK-200 Elite Cuisine 3-in-1 Breakfast Station 4-Cup Coffee Maker, White Reviews By Customers

I was given this 3-in-1 as a gift for my "Man Cave Command Center" as I like to call it. I turned my room into one of the best places where I like to spend time. In my opinion, this little machine is a step up from the kids toy "Easy Bake Oven".

I'm a nurse and since I work nightshift, this machine serves its purpose in my room. Somehow I tend to rush when I go to the kitchen and I lose my mind. But since I have a fridge/freezer combo, and microwave in my room, everything I have is right here. Now that the 3-in-1 is a part of my collection, it makes everything so much simpler.

Some people gripe about how it's so small and that it can't do big items. This wasn't made for that. This was made to be the solution for those living in small spaces. To me, I'm perfectly fine with a small dinner roll to be toasted and eggs to be griddled on top. I find that awesome.

I give this a 5-star because it makes my life a lot better!

Pros:

1. Small in size
2. Griddle works like a charm
3. Coffee maker works fast!
4. Toaster a go-go! Can't go wrong with it!

Cons:

I don't see any in my opinion! I'm a simple person that doesn't need big items to be toasted. A simple dinner roll works for me!

Everything Smaller Than Expected, but Works as Promised - Daniel C. Hohler - Tucson
This 3 in 1 Breakfast Machine contains a toaster oven, hot plate, and coffee maker. All the items are smaller than if you bought them separately, but if you are tight on space this is definitely handy.

The toaster oven was probably the biggest negative. It is only wide enough to fit 1 slice of break. Fortunately there is a top burner and a bottom burner so you can stack 2 pieces of bread on top of each other and flip them in the middle of cooking.

I cooked eggs in a basket on the hotplate and it cooked the egg in about 5 or 6 mins.

Pros:
Space Saving
Dial Timer 15 mins max
Can turn on/off top and bottom burner individually
Reusable Coffee Filter
Easy to clean removable hot plate
Comes with baking pan

Negatives:
All components pretty small, can't toast large items
Don't expect to cook for large parties, but if just cooking for yourself not bad.
Timer clicking down can get annoying

I found this item to be convenient and very useful. I can sit at my desk at the office or at home and prepare a quick meal without ever having to leave my seat. I LOVE THIS LITTLE MAID....

Maxi-Matic ETO-113 Elite Cuisine 2-Slice Toaster Oven with 15 Minute Timer, White Reviews By Customers

I purchased this item because of it's small, compact size. We use it in our RV and it fits perfectly on the counter and stows away easily in a cupboard when not in use. It has most of the same features as larger toaster ovens and does a great job toasting bread, muffins or heating up a slice of pizza. It is easy to clean. I would recommend it for those looking for a compact size.

small but functional - S. Rader - Virginia, United States
It's a very small little toaster oven, but for the price it works just fine. Only one slice of toast at a time.

Maxi-Matic EKA-9210B Elite Cuisine 4-Slice Toaster Oven Broiler, Black Reviews By Customers

I bought this on a black-friday sale for with free shipping. It was so cheap, I had doubts. Over a month or two by now, and it works just fine.

It's a toaster. Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a 0+ fancy toaster oven.

HOWEVER: You do get what you pay for.

Without having a lot of experiences with toaster ovens, it does seem to be less functional than the description and the controls state/imply.

I only use it with the top knob on "TOAST" and the bottom dial as a timer.

The other functions "BAKE" "BROIL" ... and "OFF" don't have any use to me.

When the timer is done, it turns off automatically and has a loud 'ding' (a good thing) or you just turn the timer to off manually if you want to end it early.

It does get HOT. But all/most Toaster Ovens probably do these days.

Never heard of this brand, but it's a good/durable/functional decent low end budget toaster oven ... Which you should keep your eye on (or use a tracking program) to get a REALLY REALLY GOOD PRICE!

OH YEAH ... If you make toast, then immediately make more toast, the internal thermostat will usually shut off the heating element for a portion of the toasting time (for safety) ... but then you have to add more time once it dings. Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. It works.

Not Up To Par - J. J. Sordi - Los Gatos,Ca
I was looking for a simple toaster oven to replace my old Panasonic. Unfortunately, this is not it. It takes forever for the toast to get done and then it is unevenly toasted. I dug the old Panasonic back out of the garage. I'll give this one to Goodwill.

Worth the price - Robert M. Nadler -
A decently made unit that does what it's supposed to do and will probably last for a while. It doesn't toast evenly, but that's not unusual for these units. You can even things out by flipping the toast halfway through the toasting. Notification and delivery were quick and the price was ok.

Badly Designed - Avid Cook - Palo Alto, CA
I purchased this toaster/over hoping to save some $$, sight unseen. After using it for about 3 months I noticed a couple really bad design issues that people should be aware.

First, the unit does not automatically turn-off when the door is opened. So when you open the door to remove some toast before the Time control has turned the unit off, the heating elements stay on and continues to burn. There needs to a way to automatically turn off the unit when the door is opened.

Second, and worse yet, the Time control is designed so that it's stop limit (the point where it physically stops) is the "STAY ON" setting. When you try to turn the unit off manually (like if your toast is burning for example), the Time switch doesn't physically stop at the "OFF" position - it's really easy to bypass this position - and ends up in the "STAY ON" position. This has happened to me a few times already.

Overall this unit is a safety recall waiting to happen. I would love to hear that this has been fixed on subsequent units, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to either send it back or discard it as being too dangerous for normal household use.
