Hi:

We bought a Cook's brand toaster oven from JCPenney (internet).
The unit looked good, bright red, and size wise fit our needs.
Was a convection unit as well.

The downside - it died the second time we tried to use it so back
to the store it went. Ended up buying a 'Oster' brand unit instead
and are very happy with it.

So ... are Cook's brand stuff all trash? We liked the high style/color
just disappointed it failed.

Thanks, Phil

So you got one that did not work. Happens to someone all the time. I
had the same problem with a flash memory. Bought one - it did not
work, exchanged it, everything is fine.

But I sure did not sink to questioning if all the stuff they made was
trash.

Ah, Jim. I bought the toaster oven & it worked ONCE, then died.
My question was - is this a QUALITY brand? I had never heard of
the company before I bought the unit from JCPenney's.

Exactly why is it so wrong in your little universe to inquire about a
companies reputation?

As with all small appliances nowadays, it all depends on which crappy
Chinese factory did the contract manufacturing on any given day. You can no
longer count on a brand name having any meaning at all. Good luck.
