In the 70's I purchased a GE, two slice toaster, for fifty cents, at a Goodwill store, which pre-dates this GE Toaster-R-Oven by about 15+ years. On my kitchen counter today, it gleems as if it were new, even though it's very retro. It also functions as if it were new. I purchased it when I was about 25 years of age, and I'm 67 now. I expect I'll die before the toaster does. About five years ago my sister gave me this small mid-60's, T93 GE Toaster-R-Oven, which is the perfect size for my counter top. About a month ago the power cord, inexplicably burned out near the plug end. I liked the unit so much that I didn't, for a second, consider scrapping it. Had no idea, though, that this unit was so popular until I came on UA-cam seeking a break-down diagram of the unit, to gain an idea of, how to get into it. When I first acquired it, all I really wanted was a toaster oven that would "do-the-job" and fit my counter nicely. Didn't realize then what a jewel I had. Weather I find an parts illustration or not, I will install this new power cord I have, and return my toaster oven to it's proper place on my kitchen counter.
Brings back a lot of fond memories! My uncle was a GE- Hotpoint dealer so we always had a lot of nifty GE gadgets. My mother cooked either steak or barbequed chicken on Saturday, ALWAYS with baked potatoes which were cooked in the GE toaster oven! Then while it was still hot she'd cook her bread in it after the potatoes. Good times...
Just think about the MILLIONS of us that had that very same toaster oven back in the day.. I remember my paternal grandparents bought one in the late '60s, and within a few weeks my maternal grandparents bought one, and then a few months later my mother and father bought one. We'd bake and cook all KINDS of stuff in it, and because my brother and sisters and I were small, it was just the kind of appliance that was ok for us to use without parental supervision. Brings back a LOT of memories seeing this video, was a great trip down memory lane!
Got a ~1970 GE Toaster oven similar to this one. Found it in a Sam's Club cart inside, they said they didn't need it anymore, I may never know why they had such an old oven, but it works so, oh well. Cleaned it up and use it my gas station, customers seem to love it. We've had... bad experiences with newer toasters.
Ah, toaster ovens. One of the most versatile small appliances you will find in a kitchen ... or an RV ... or in a college dorm room... And you've just got to love how the type was read. Love how the guy says "bake brown-and-serve rolls, frozen pies, baked potatoes, and even a delicious meatloaf on the special, easy to use oven tray."
I just disassembled, cleaned out what I could and reassembled this exact machine. Tomorrow I'm going to test it outside, just in case. A lovely machine.
Oh this was THE BEST! I once borrowed one for Christmas so i could make some better things than usual. I would consider all contemporary toaster ovens the kind that 'burn money' as well as a number of other things placed in them. Our space hogging 'real' oven no longer works.
I really like these toasters! I have 4 variations of this model. A slightly older one from around 1964, one from the mid-seventies and two from the early eighties.
The best toaster oven ever made is the GE Toast - R - Oven,made in late 60's. Mine is still working well. Great for cheese crisps(tortilla, baked lightly, then covered with cheese shredded on top - huge in Tucson restaurants) and warming muffins,etc. Elwood drools over a new one in Ray (Charles) Music exchange when the Blues Brothers go in to buy some amplifiers in Chicago. I tried, but never could find a comparable oven that efficient and compact.
The way that door opens I think the design was slightly inspired by the famous Frigidaire Flair range that had oven doors that opened in an upward motion. GE now makes a Smart Oven with a door that opens upward now makes a Smart Oven with a door that opens
It's been five days since I last posted and yesterday my GE Toaster-R-Oven was restored to excellent working condition. Prior to replacing the power cord, I had decided to shorten the cord to accommodate just the distance from the unit's designated place on the kitchen counter to the wall receptacle. Cord length is now 24" from the unit to the end of the plug, as opposed to, four-and-a-half feet. Just enough length to reach the electrical outlet, and no extra cable to bundle behind the toaster. I must say, that going into that toaster with no guide, in hand, was quite involved, and very time consuming. Had I known from the beginning, or otherwise, had it to do again, I would simply splice the new power cord, on the outside, where it exits the unit, and use a short piece of heat shrink tubing to cover the splice. Anyway, it's back again, ready to serve another fifty-plus years, and I couldn't be more pleased that I didn't have to replace it.
It does. We have one. My dad rewired it for safety reasons (just because wiring gets old) but it still works just fine. We found another one at a garage sale and bought it in case we ever needed parts. Although that one probably works, too . . .
Mine is like this one. I see later models with a push button start. Mine turned on by mistake when I put a bag of groceries on the counter. ...Could have started a fire!

Funny how true that saying is, that they don't make them like they used to.

I got this exact model from my grandma. It still works perfectly 54+ years later. I use it at least once a week, mostly for tofu and vegetables.
Oh this was THE BEST! I once borrowed one for Christmas so i could make some better things than usual.

I bought one at a thrift store a couple weeks ago for only $8.00! It works like a charm and it's wonderful at cooking pot pies and frozen pizza!

This is the one! Ellwood Blues used it in The Blues Brothers movie and I still use it today. Bought it in 1977..==

Scored one of these at a thrift store for $1
Have had it for years. Built like a tank!

I really need the settings sticker. I tried to see it in this video but it's not clear enough.
I bet it still works 50 something years later
It does. We have one. My dad rewired it for safety reasons (just because wiring gets old) but it still works just fine. We found another one at a garage sale and bought it in case we ever needed parts. Although that one probably works, too . . .
Dixie Diamond ok cook
Mine is like this one. I see later models with a push button start. Mine turned on by mistake when I put a bag of groceries on the counter. ...Could have started a fire!
I inherited it from Mummy. Still works like a charm.
I had this same model in the early seventies until three years ago...it was the best...if anyone is selling one, please let me know.
Still using ours! Just made Ellios!
Any idea where I can get mine repaired?
Several years ago, G.E. sold the "Toast-R-Oven" to Black & Decker, who manufacture it these days...
How do you get finished. I have a long and it broke I had three years and I want another one
I got one of these babies 😍
I have one of these and it's brand new, never been used. Anyone know how much it could sell for?
So you can blend your meatloaf in the GE Blender and cook it in your Toast-R-Oven.
mine died recently, the cord caught fire. every toaster oven I've been looking at online has horrible reviews. HELP!
Personal I would take it to a local trusted repair shop.
@@VintageTech1 that's a good idea! thanks (now to find a trusted repair shop LOL)
Do we really need the social commentary about impoverished countries??
Tv days with lra gallen rules above all the rest ira you are my number one go to and I love you forever anne roselli
I bought 2 before they were discontinued. They should be used for toasting only. Warming up foods gums up the door releasing mechanism.
Thick or thin… long or short…
Meatloaf!
