Stylish New Toaster Oven!
We received this oven as a gift and it fit in perfectly with our newly renovated kitchen! The sleek stainless steel design combined with the interior blue enamel fit in with our other appliances flawlessly. The compact size is perfect for a small counter-top, yet the toasting racks are sizable for daily use. We love the easy to clean crumb tray that can be removed after a toasting session as well as the smart panel which cooks your food to your specifications.
The best part of this mini-oven is that we no longer have to rely on our big wall oven to bake with and can have a more energy efficient way to cook!
We love the Viante!

Our New Viante Convection Toaster Oven
We had been without a microwave oven for weeks when finally my wife and daughter found exactly what they wanted. The Viante True Blue Convection Toaster Oven fit our needs perfectly with slim unique styling which fit our counter top without taking up a lot of room that similar capability ovens did. Best of all is the convection feature in such a small package.........WE are well pleased!

I love this little convection oven!
I bought this toaster oven after my last one died. My previous ovens were of the cheapy Wal-Mart plastic type, which tend to discolor and get gross looking over time. Since it sits on our kitchen counter all the time, I really wanted an attractive, stainless steel replacement. I also really wanted convection cooking - a cafe where I frequently have lunch recently switched from panini presses to convection ovens for cooking their sandwiches, and they really taste a lot better with convection. I also wanted a smaller model that didn't take up too much counter space.
The Viante fit the bill on all three counts. I was very impressed when I first inspected it - it definitely has a high-quality feel to it. It's very attractive and easy to operate. The enamel interior and the easily-removed crumb tray make it simple to clean. It has a light inside, which I like as well. Although it isn't big enough to cook a 12" pizza or multiple trays of cookies, at only 10" deep it leaves plenty of room on the counter in front of it. And I LOVE the convection cooking! I've been using it for everything from broiling nachos to toasting garlic bread to cooking some french bread pizzas, and I've found that the convection mode cooks things more evenly than any other toaster oven I've used - it's as good as my regular oven. If you want something that's simple, attractive, and doesn't hog your counter space, the Viante will do the job quite well.
One quibble - due to the size of the handle, the door doesn't open completely flat, so watch your knuckles on the hot oven door. If the oven's legs were a little taller it wouldn't be an issue. I've gotten used to it, so I won't take any stars off for that.
On the positive side, I've contacted their customer service a few times with questions, and have received immediate responses to my e-mails - Viante has been extremely helpful, and I have no doubt they'll stand behind their appliance. I'm looking forward to trying other Viante appliances, like their pasta maker.

Great toaster oven
We love this toaster oven. For starters, it is attractive on our counter with the blue light and interior and neat lines of the oven itself. For some reason the blue interior makes the oven always look clean. The crumb tray in front makes it extremely easy to clean daily versus ovens that have the tray in the back. We are a very busy family of 6 who not only use it to toast but it use it daily to cook quick smaller meals and snacks as they run out for their sports, work, etc schedules. It is much more energy efficient and time efficient to use than a regular oven. My nephew is getting married next year and has requested one when he saw ours.

We love it!
The oven is compact and does not take up a huge space on the counter top, as did our previous oven. Even though it has multiple functions, the oven is simple to use. The little broiler pan is really nice.

Great little oven
We love our Viante toaster oven. Makes great toast, and the oven is an ideal sidekick to our main oven. The oven heats up fast. Very easy to use. Nice looking, too!

Excellant
This has proved to be a perfect solution if one needs a toaster oven with a small footprint. Easy to use, easy to clean, and roomier than one could hope. Very pleased.
