How bug/rodent/pet resistant is this oven?

VERY resistant. Tough as nails. I just haven't figured out how to make it do what they said it would do...operator error, I'm sure. :-)

You close and latch the glass door so the inside of the oven is airtight...no bugs can get in while you're cooking.

Once the latches to the oven door are set the oven box appears to be sealed.

So far I have had no problems. But it is very cold. There was a tiny bug crawling on the outside of the oven today but I wiped him off.

I would say that once the door is shut it is pretty much tightly closed/sealed. A rodent would not be able to get in and I doubt if there is anyway for bugs to get in. Besides, when it is in the sun, it is very hot. That alone would keep things away, you need a mitt on your hand to open the door.

Most definitely! This is my favorite oven I have ever had, this is my 5th one i believe. I was afraid it was too big when it arrived, but it's perfect.

I have no idea as to rodents. seems to be a secure closing and keeps breads fresh longer.

I am curious about the same thing - this oven looks perfect for my family EXCEPT the non stick interior - PFOA is no joke people. Stay as far away from non stick as you can get. If I end up ordering this oven, it will only be if I find out the non stick does not contain perfluorocarbons. Look them up. They are bad news.

From the Bed Bath and Beyond listing of this, it says "Cooling rack is not oven safe"

I don't remember the manufacturer's recommendation, but we have had our oven at 475`and 500` without any incident whatsoever. Though we have never moved it out of the oven while it is that hot. Hope this helps you out. Patricia

Never have had any problem. It has been in my oven for a couple of years. I use high temps and low temps. I do not use my oven on "self cleaning". The very hi heat will burn out the "boards" on a touch type oven. I remove the liner and use oven cleaner. I love it.

I asked the same question, since mine sits on a shelf alongside of my wall oven. Their concern is that the heat from such a unit will not allow the M/W to cool properly.

I've had mine since December. LOVE IT! I love the fast bake feature and the convection oven works wonderfully! Especially nice when I don't want to heat up the entire kitchen! Follow the directions for the install, and enjoy it!

I love this little oven. You can do anything a big oven can do,-Just on a smaller scale. It can fit one slice of a large pizza at a time. Because there is no window, each time you open it to look inside you will lose some of the temperature you selected..but it will recover very quickly, again because of the size. I have made very good cresent rolls & buttermilk biscuits (from ready made in the cardboard roll). Make note of temp & how long you cooked the items you cook so that next time you have a reference for the "doneness" you prefer. Really good purchase.

The packaging mentions Ovens, but instruction sheet says "not suitable for surface area exceeding 60C/140F degrees". See if you can find a suitable area of your oven and door that suits, depending on what temperature you are using. Otherwise, self-cleaning ovens have a lever that locks the oven during self-cleaning; the lever is big and hard to move, so it might deter a very young child.

Yes safe inside homes and around pets. Do not put it in your kitchen or where you prepare food.

I had a issue with squirrels chewing through although it is still useable. I have not had a issue with rats or mice that I am aware of - I use lots of garden clippings and leaves as well as food scraps. Overall I am not sure about this bin just because it is so flimsy.

I am still on my first oven and have had it for over four years. I bought another one for my niece. I love this oven. So far o problems.

I don't have a dog, so don't know;however, I have a cat that it does not bother at all. In fact, he eats right next to where it's plugged in.I have not had ants, flies, or any other bugs since the day I plugged it in.

You must have super rodents or speedy gonzalez then because I've never had that problem. You can test the trap yourself by using a stick/pencil etc. I had problem with bugs eating the peanut butter I put in mine, a roach won't set it off of course.

I don't think any rodents can get in but, bugs can. I hope that helped! Michael.
