Maxi-Matic EBK-200 Elite Cuisine 3-in-1 Breakfast Station 4-Cup Coffee Maker, White
Posted by : Longdoo | Sunday, September 12, 2010 | Published in 3in1, Breakfast, Coffee, Cuisine, EBK200, Maker, MaxiMatic, Station
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
quick serve - port-a-maid -
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-180 Elite Gourmet 18-Liter Toaster Oven, Silver
Posted by : Longdoo | Tuesday, August 31, 2010 | Published in 18Liter, Amazing, Courses, Digital, ETO180, Gourmet, hardware, MaxiMatic, Photography, Photos, silver, Toaster, tracking
Cons: Black on silver makes the dials hard to read, The three settings (bake, brown and toast) are not defined in the manual. First time burning off the chemicals on the elements is VERY smokey! Smelled like I was melting a GI Joe in the thing! Set off my smoke detector it did!
Conclusion: An excellent buy for the money! Keep an eye on it (use a seporate timer until you get used to it) I had a potpie that went from perfect to slightly burned in 30 seconds (set off my smoke detector again)
Just what I wanted - Carol - Harlem,Ga.
I wanted a small oven to make chicken nuggets for my grandson(the microwave didn't do very good) And for small things it is great because I don't have to heat a big oven. It looks nice on the counter. No problems with it at all I'm glad I have it.
toast - Mike Magg - Wilmington DE
we need a toaster-oven that actually toasts, this one isn't very good. There is no toast button, only the timer which is used for the oven. It is hard to get the timing right and it takes forever to toast because the elements are so far away. The oven feature is fine.
Maxi-Matic ETO-730SS Elite Platinum 20-Liter 1500-Watt Convection Toaster Oven, Stainless

Flimsy and noisy yet ineffective - Wonky Monkey - YourTown, CA
This "convection" toaster oven has a fan with all the power and focus of a 1 year old blowing out his birthday candle. Said fan is quite effective at rattling the flimsy (like the rest of the toaster) crumb tray, resulting in a quite annoying and loud rattle anytime the unit is set to convection. The fan also happens to blow directly along where there are no heating elements, thus what little air it manages to blow in from outside serves quite effectively to not heat whatever you're trying to heat. I guess they didn't bother to hire an engineer in designing this thing as to be effective at convecting, the fan really needed to blow across a heated element to then blow hot air over the food. C'mon guys, I hear there are unemployed engineers looking for jobs, you couldn't find one?
What is good about it is that the inside is aluminum, which is better than if it were a teflon coated material from a health standpoint. Why didn't they make the inside stainless? Probably the same reason they had it built in China from the thinnest gauge sheet they could get away with, it's cheaper.
This is the first item I've ever returned to Amazon, it was that bad.
Why did I give it two stars? Because it heats things so I guess it fulfills its basic functionality. It is also not ugly so I guess if you want an appliance that you don't need to use or are just dressing a set for a commercial or something, this would be a good prop.
To be fair, the part below applies to most toasters of this type:
It, like many others in its class also only has two heating rods beneath the food thus if you are trying to toast bread you will end up with bread toasted on the edges and only marginally so in the middle. Continuing with the bread, because of the wide separation between the upper heating elements and the bread, your bread will likely burn on the bottom and be slightly golden on the top. Thus if you want to toast bread evenly, you will need to babysit it and turn it over by hand a number of times during the toasting process, good luck doing this without burning your hand.

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.
Elite Toaster Oven - Lora Holley -

Maxi-Matic EKA-9210B Elite Cuisine 4-Slice Toaster Oven Broiler, Black
Posted by : Longdoo | Sunday, July 4, 2010 | Published in 4Slice, Broiler, Cuisine, EKA9210B, MaxiMatic, Toaster
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.
