This is a review for the HeatMate Graphite Heating Technology Pop-Up Toaster specifically. Some products get bunched together which is problem for another discussion, but I wanted to make that clear.If you're looking at this toaster then, like me, you're probably getting pretty serious about toasting and thinking of going pro. I had a toaster oven that has been working for over a decade - which worked great as an oven, but was quite slow as a toaster. I scoured the internet for toasters, toaster reviews, etc. I was really interested in the Magimix toaster as it had a window but that thing will set you back almost 300 bucks.This one came up a few times, but alas it had no reviews for this particular item. All the other products from this Japanese company had great reviews so I thought I would pull the trigger as it's around half the price of the Magimix toaster even though it had no reviews...I was not disappointed. I've had the thing for about a month and I can (right now) it is amazing. Toasts fast (like really fast) and evenly. Has easy to use and understand controls with a convenient cancel button, which becomes a game changer with the window. You can see the exact moment your toast is ready. Has an easy to remove crumb tray and there is a less easy way to take glass out and clean it as well. The body looks beautiful with the seafoam colored metal body.The only test that remains is the test of time. If something stops working within a couple of years I will be back here to let you know.Go forth my toasting friends and make your informed decisions.

The roasting tray and cover accessories' paint started to come off when I tried to use a plastic scrubby to remove some baked-on spots. I stopped cleaning them when I saw that the paint was coming off. I worry that the paint might flake off onto any food that gets roasted now. I guess I'll live with burnt roasting pans and I'll cover them with aluminum foil and/or roasting paper to keep the food from touching the surfaces.

I can't compliment this toaster oven enough. It looks nice on my counter -- like a smile greeting me first thing in the morning. It makes great toast - evenly browned and crispy, yet airy. The graphite heating element is first rate too -- they weren't kidding when they said it got to full heat in 0.2 seconds. If anything, it makes toast in half the time of other ovens that I've had. It also makes other foods well -- baked potatoes, pizza, salmon are just a few items that I've made and they've come out well.In terms of construction, it's solidly built, like a bank vault. The pans that are supplied with the toaster are super heavy gauge as well -- nothing flimsy about any of the pans.I also like that it's simple to operate. I looked at other ovens with multiple digital timers and gadgets -- way too complicated. This oven has two knobs - time and temperature. It's impossible to mess up. This is part of the 'zen' that I'm talking about. It makes mealtime more tranquil.

Sengoku is very famous for its traditional oil heaters in Japan. With their knowledge and technology, this toaster is great to purchase!Simple temperature and time setting.Beautiful look.Good size for 4 slices of bread (regular size in Canada), 2 slices for Japanese size.Because the heat up quickly, the bread will be crispy outside, soft inside.Try with a thick slice of bread!I checked the review in Japan before purchasing. This product is still in high ranking since 2018.It is pricier than other toasters, but I strongly recommended it.ちょっと高いので迷いましたが買ってよかったです。厚切りパンがとても美味しく焼けます。デザインもとっても素敵です。白を購入しました。遊びに来る友達にも勧めています。

I am all about efficiency when it comes to quick meals for my kids. This toaster oven is a life saver. I barely even use my air fryer anymore because this little gem does every thing I need it to, from toast to roast! No preheat time wasted, evenly cooked food everytime! I even put my Breville Smart Element toaster oven in storage after using this MUST NEED kitchen appliance. Cute design, and such convenient, easy to use dials. I especially love that the grill/roast pans are all dishwasher safe. What a life saver. I use it every single day.Here are a few things I've been able to do with this toaster oven:*Frozen Chicken Nuggets : 12 mins @ 425 degrees. (I've been able to fit 20 nuggets per batch)*Steak: 8 mins (med) @ 500 (1 lb)*Roasted Potatoes: 40 mins*Bagel/Toast: 3 mins*Breakfast Sausage: 10 mins (acutally comes out browned!)The above cook times are the actual TOTAL cook time, since there is no preheat time needed.I used this toaster oven to cook/heat every type of food item that I would normally be able to do in a traditional oven, toaster, or air fryer. And I have never been disappointed. Easier to clean than an air fryer, exceptionally faster than a traditional oven, and user friendly so that my 9 yo can use.I also love the size of this thing. Doesn't take up much counter space, and comes with such convenient oven accessories. Plus it cools down quickly after use. This is a kitchen MUST HAVE. Thank you Sengoku for this kitchen essential! 5 stars!
