There are no issues with cleaning. Wipe off the door and every so often pull out the crumb tray. I use a Pampered Chef stoneware pan for cooking. I line it with parchment paper so there's virtually no cleanup. Does anyone still use an electric fry pan?

Ours does not, just "T-Fal." (It also seems that our $50 price at Target was pretty good.) When we want 4 slices (like two sliced English muffins) we use the toaster oven that accommodates 4 or 6 slices.

Now I have a Breville Toaster Oven. The timer is easily adjusted to the thickness and number of slices of bread. I haven't used the "real" oven since getting this oven - it is large enough to roast a chicken. It sits on the counter so no bending over to take food in or out of the oven. I have one to and really like it erka. As someone else said no problem keeping clean.

It lends itself to old fashioned recipes. I also use it for prep when i'm sauteing rice or stuff for spicy sausage and pasta. I like it and would feel lost without it.

We hardly ever toast more than two slices. It is important to clean toasters occasionally to prevent fire and keep it functioning well. A good cleaning involves taking the bottom off to access the inside.
