Nostalgia BSET300RETRORED 3-in-1 Family Size Breakfast Station, Red

I have had this for about 5 months and absolutely love it. I live in a tiny apartment and needed something we could all use in a small kitchen. I use the coffee pot more then anything on it but it makes good toast and the griddle also works well. I get complements on it all the time about how cool it is. And for the price I don't think you can go wrong you would spend that much if not more for all the things separate and would clutter so much more. I think it was a perfect fit in my little kitchen.Pros:Comes completely apart which makes it so easy to clean.Easy to use.Fits in small kitchen.Good price.Gets used a lot.Looks good.Cons not to bad of a con :Toaster and griddle are connected both will be on at the same time which is fine if you ask me but I know some are not to keen with it.Also griddle is not flat has grates so if your cooking eggs or pancakes will have the indent in them.

The plastic parts of the coffee maker seemed a little thin & cheap, however they have been holding up well for the last couple of months. (I just open the water & coffee lids carefully.) The toaster over and grill top work well and it is very fun to make toast, coffee and bacon all at the same time. I am very happy that I bought this and like that I don't have (3) separate appliances on the kitchen counter. Only other thing that I would like to point out is that there is no direct temperature settings for either the toaster oven or grill, like some other appliances. It is still easy to cook with, you just need to pay a little more attention to what you are doing. Clearly it is possible to purchase a better coffee maker, toaster oven & electric grill. When all three are appliances are combined some features are lost. However the space savings, novelty, and the fact that I am not a serious cook make this a great fit for me.

I have a small kitchen, and saving countertop space is a major goal of mine whenever I buy something for the kitchen. This little guy looked like it might be (okay 80%) of what I needed. I've had it for a few weeks now, and have used it a lot. It really is a GREAT little combination unit.Pluses:1. All the separate units work great.2. Saves lots of countertop space. I got rid of my old toaster oven, coffee maker, and toaster.Minuses:1. I doubt that I will ever use the griddle on top. Just not practical for me. I'd rather have a unit that has a conventional toaster on top, but I couldn't find something like that. I discovered, however, that I like the taste of toast that is toasted in a toaster oven over a standard toaster. I know, this sounds odd, but toast really is better in a toaster oven instead of a toaster. So, no real loss.2. The toaster oven operates at one temperature (I think 425 F). So far, this hasn't presented a problem as I can just adjust the time I cook things.3. I don't care for how the rack slides out of the toaster oven. The 'friction' grip is a bit much, and is sorta tight.

** Edited after several months of use: I'm raising this to 4 stars after 3 months of using it 5-6 times a week. **Initially, I was disappointed in this product. However, that's because I wanted it to be more. I love the concept (trailer life) and would gladly pay twice as much for what it combines into a single unit that successfully combined these function in this size. So...after using it for routine duties I am feeling better about it. I've made pizza, burgers, grilled cheese, ham and cheese, toasted buns on top, cooked pot pies in it, made coffee and yes, baked cookies (Tollhouse pre-mades) as well as biscuits in it (the frozen Mrs. B style). I cook by sight and touch not time, test meat with a thermometer if I have doubts. I use the coffee-maker and get one large coffee cup of coffee with a 5-6 oz warm up a day. If you fill the coffee-maker and then add a tiny bit more after it begins to go through for a minute, you get about 24 oz. of coffee. It's enough for me but if you are a coffee-drinker who wonder about an IV drip get a full-sized Mr. Coffee.Pros: It looks good, the controls seem to work as advertised (multi-functional as grill, oven, toaster-oven) and it is a great size for one person, maybe two light eaters/drinkers.The top grll comes off easily and has proven easy to clean.Neutral: No temperature settings. The controls choices are ONLY: Grill - Top Element only is Grill Mode for the top grill surface - does ciabatta buns in about 6 minutes, Oven/Toaster - Both Elements - 400 degrees - buns take longer but will toast up there too, Warm/Reheat - Bottom Element Only - 300 degrees; and a second control which is a twist-style timer up to 30 minutes.Cons: The drip pan is smaller than the grill which makes it messy to control the grease. I now put HD alum foil down, flair it to the sides a bit and it catches more grease. Only one grill/baking rack is provided (two would let you toast four large pieces of bread at a time in there - I use Texas Toast and buns more than regular bread). The door doesn't come off the unit for cleaning and you need to be careful touching the top of the unit when cooking unless you want a waffle grill pattern forever burned into your hand (sides and door will burn you too). I remain a little concerned that when the filter in the coffee-maker gets old it may prove difficult to find a replacement but I pull it out and clean it regularly and a neighbor thinks I can find a replacement.Hope this helps.

I got this 3in1 for our tiny camper. Worked just as i hoped. Made fajitas, cookies, breakfast burritos... All came out great and was very easy. Had questions on the coffee pot size. The pot is about a cup size for both my husband and i knew i'd have to make several pots in the morning. So what i did was this. Those new insulated stainless steel cups, like yeti sells(We used the walmart brand), are perfect for keeping coffee warm for hours. So I'd make a pot and put it into one of those cups, put the top on and set it aside. Then i'd make another pot. Doing it this way gave us enough coffee and let me tell you, i've had expensive coffee makers and this one could compete with them.The only thing i can think could be a negative is the glass oven door gets really hot.. You just have to be careful with it, but i find the handle a little small....
