Flawed & Dangerous!,
July 31, 2006 Jason E. Smith "Impatient Reader" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rival CO606 Stainless-Steel 6-Slice Countertop Convection Toaster Oven with Broiler (Kitchen)
Received this oven as a wedding gift and enjoyed it for approximately nine months. It cooked fairly evenly, offered convection speed, and looked attractive in chrome.
Unfortunately--like many reviewers on Rival's sister unit (the TO600)--we started experiencing problems with the control knobs getting stuck. In our case it was the all important timer knob which would freeze while COOKING AND COUNTING DOWN. The unit is fairly quiet and if you aren't paying close attention (and who is during the morning rush?) then suddenly your 4-minute bagel has been broiling for 15-minutes and is nearly on fire! Given the other reviews on Rival countertop ovens this is obviously not a problem isolated to just our unit.
Rival did make a digital touchpad version of this oven but it has been discontinued. And even if it were available--a call to Rival revealed that they were only willing to replace our unit with the exact same model. No thanks! Taking the recommendation of a major...Read more

Rival CO606 Stainless-Steel 6-Slice Countertop Convection Toaster Oven with Broiler
I purchased the Rival C0606 at a local department store after my Euro-Pro/Bravetti convection oven went up in flames through no fault of mine.
PROS: This oven has * manual controls which I prefer because they are easier and faster to use and allow more precise time/temperature adjustments. The crumb tray is removable from the * front. There's a full * 60 minute timer and a Stay On setting. This oven is * hotter than most and will cook/bake/broil most foods very fast. IMPORTANT: Make sure the rack(s) are positioned according to the Owner's Manual instructions for best results. Besides a 12" pizza, this oven will accommodate any ROUND pan or oven-proof utensil 12" or less. Since every appliance has its own quirks, some experimentation...Read more

Good product for a great price,

My mom also has this model of Rival and loved hers, so despite the other bad reviews of the product I decided to buy it. It is a great buy for the price.
The 2 racks and 2 trays accessories that comes with it makes it easier to use. Very easy to operate with lots of room. Buttons are easy to read. I fixed steaks, fish, cookies, toast, etc in it with no problems. Does not seem to get too hot as some other brand reviews say.
It has a nice shape also with the steel and black trim with a slight curve, so it would go well with many kitchens. Easy to clean also. So far all my corning ware and other baking dishes fit in it fine. Amazon packed it very well with solid double box cushioned in styrofoam.
