This toaster oven takes a bit longer to heat up than my former Panasonic. This is not to take away from the appliance, but rather to share a true opinion. The added features of this appliance, ease of use, and multi purpose functionality (built-in air fryer), all combine to make it the best oven appliance that I have ever owned. So, who cares if my toast takes an extra minute when everything else is so great!
