DeLonghi DO1279 6-Slice Toaster Oven Review

The DeLonghi DO1279 6-Slice Toaster Oven is a 6-slice oven with convection fan. I'm going to start off by saying I love this toaster oven!

DeLonghi DO1279 Specifications:

Dimensions - 19 x 15 x 9 inches; 21 pounds
Accessories - Bake pan, broil tray, 2 wire racks, 2 cookie sheets, digital display and controls
Cooking fuctions - Bake, broil, slow bake, keep warm
Slice capacity - 6-slices
Convection - Yes.

The DeLonghi DO1279, like the other DeLonghi toaster ovens at this price point, has a nice digital display and controls. These features afford precise temperature settings and controls, and the digital display is easy to read. The unit itself is a nice black finish and looks great in my kitchen. It has a nice interior light, which is always a nice touch.

This is a convection toaster oven, which is always a great thing to have. It means that this oven cooks quickly and evenly than ovens without a convection fan. The inside of the toaster oven is huge, which is a great thing. Included are two racks that can be used at the same time - I baked two 12-inch pizzas at once, awesome! As far as the toasting ability, it is adequate, although the baking and cooking abilities are much superior and, in my opinion, are the highlight of this model.

The included pans that come with the DeLonghi DO1279 are coated with a high-quality enamel, making them much more sturdy than the standard pans that come with many toaster ovens. I have no doubt that these will stand up over time. The included cookie sheets are also made with the same enamel and I have gotten some use out of them already. The peanut butter cookies I baked with this oven turned out awesomely, and my kids will attest to that.

Like the DeLonghi DO400, the D01279 has a loud beep that sounds off when you press the digital buttons and when the timer has run down. It is loud, yes, but it can be a good thing as I can hear it go off while I'm getting the kids ready for school in a different room of the house. Who wants a wimpy, quiet alarm? There's no way you'll miss this one.

The front door opens all the way flat, making the racks and crumb tray easy to remove for cleaning. The large interior and light also aid this, making it easy to get your rag inside and see what you're doing.

Another great thing about this toaster oven is that it doesn't get very hot on the outside at all. A common issue with most toaster ovens is that the exterior can get hot enough to burn, but the DeLonghi DO1279 barely gets hot at all. A great safety feature, especially if you have kids around the house like I do.

Is the DeLonghi D01279 Worthy of Your Kitchen?

I think this little unit could be a great addition for your kitchen. The great utility and interior size along with the digital display and controls really can't be beat. It's fairly large, so make sure that you have the counter space before picking one up.
