Elite Gourmet Americana 2 Slice, 9.5" Griddle with Glass Lid, 3-in-1 Breakfast Center Station, 4-Cup Coffeemaker, Toaster Oven with 15-Min Timer, Heat Selector Mode, Blue

I was looking for an Oven + Cooking station to carry in my car trunk when I go camping and sleep in the car.I was hesitating between the Teal Elite Gourmet Americana 2-Slice and the Red Nostalgia BST3RR. Both are small 3-in-1.I've bought both to compare them as I felt that there was not enough information on the product pages.First impressions:The Teal Americana is smaller and the coffee maker feels low-end plasticky.The Teal Americana has only one burner top and one bottom, where the Red Americana has two heating elements in the same positions.At first glance, I really liked that the Red Americana's griddle is the entire size of the oven: any bacon grease splatter will stay on the griddle, while it will land on the teal body on the other one. After using the Teal Americana during a trip, there is no bacon grease spatter due to the glass cover.Both are cute and playful. You want to make something to play with it... very fun toys.The buttons of the Red Nostalgia have a flat portion: one knows where they point to. The Teal Americana has round buttons with a minuscule indentation. I had to paint a white line on them to be able to see where they point.The coffee pot of the Teal Americana looked more secure in a moving car due to its 3 walls, but in the end, it's the Red Nostalagia carafe which is held stronger by the pressure of the no-drip ball.The oven rack of the Teal Americana is tied to the door and moves slightly with the door is opened. The Red Americana is independent of the door and has two positions (one for Teal Americana).Dimensions / Measurements:Length (similar): 19" for the Red Nostalgia vs 18.5" for the Teal Americana.Body depth (Teal Americana is way smaller): 7.3" for Teal AmericanaBackspace needed (when water tank open): similarHeight: similar.Griddle Volume: Big surprising difference: the big Red Nostalgia's griddle is very flat and shallow. I was only able to pour 200 milliliter of water before it reached the cover. The cover also did feel very secure to me, feeling very twisted (see picture). The Teal Americana is much smaller in surface, but has a much bigger depth. I was able to pour 550 milliliter before reaching the cover mark. The Teal contains almost 3X more liquid than the Red.Coffee Pot: Similar: the Red Nostalgia is graduated for 3 cups and contains 522ml, while the Teal Americana is graduated for 4 cups and contains 515ml.Power: I plan to use one for Car Camping powered by the inverter from a Portable Power Station like a MaxOak BlueTTi, so I was especially interested in the Watts in operation. I used a Welltop Plug-in Socket Power Meter, Voltage Watt Energy Meter which gives instant+min+max watts used to measure. All numbers rounded to the nearest 5.Coffee Maker Only: Teal Americana: 605W vs Red Nostalgia: 570W = 6% difference = similar.Top Griddle Only: Teal Americana: 490W vs Red Nostalgia: 850W = 75% difference. No surprise here as I expected the two heating elements to burn 2X the power.Bottom Oven + Top Griddle together (no Coffee Maker): Teal Americana: 760W vs Red Nostalgia: 740W = suprisingly similar. Big surprise here. I reran the test multiple times, and indeed, when the four heating elements of the Red Nostalgia are on, I was seeing less power - 740W - than when only the top two were on - 850W -.Bottom Oven Only: Teal Americana: 290W vs Red Nostalgia: 340W = 17% difference.All on: Coffee Maker + Bottom Oven + Top Griddle: Teal Americana: 1300W vs Red Nostalgia: 1250W. Keeping the surprise, the Red Nostalgia uses less power when everything is turned on.The Red Nostalgia reaches its maximum power of 1350W when the bottom oven is off, and the Coffee Maker and the Top Griddle are both on.As I am very limited by my current inverter (600W) and its batteries, I went with the Teal Americana.My Teal Americana fits in the 40 Liter, 22 Inch Duffle Bags for Women, Men, Travel Heavy Duty (Black) from Trail Maker also bought on Amazon.Already used it on a few day trip where we were staying in hotel (no power limitations there) with fridge and no kitchen. It was used everyday and it was so nice to have breakfast in the room (in bed?) and be able to cook / reheat takeout. I recommend hat you get one of those 3-in-1 if you travel by car and camp or hotel.

I absolutely recommend this, I love it. The coffee maker works very well and stays super hot, no cold coffee/water. The oven works well for reheating or light baking. I have warmed up pizza, tostadas, etc. I have also used it for making cookies, which turned out well but I saw that the cookies were baked quicker if I used both the griddle & oven at the same time. The griddle is marvelous as well. I have cooked sausages, light breakfast, and reheated Chinese leftovers.Overall I highly recommend it! It's a very efficient and space reduced little unit.(Please be sure to put the grille back on however.. I forgot to do so and a lanyard fell in causing quite a mess as it started melting on the grill. Thankfully I turned off the unit & cleaned it up and it works fine 🙂)

This is a good toaster oven But the top heating element stopped working after 2 years. Here’s what I figured out .. for melting stuff like cheese on sandwich griddle only setting and remove the griddle pan... for frozen pizza oven only and be patient may take the whole 15 minute setting.. and remember this is for quick foods and light appetizers. Considering buying it again now that I know how use it.. I might not have burned out griddle element by using it all the time for everything.. hope this is helpful by the way.. I’m still using it the oven setting works fine.. never used coffee maker to heat coffee or water yet!!

Me gusto mucho

I was so excited about the toaster oven and now very disappointed. It is so cute to look at and matches my kitchen but that is all that is good about it. I takes 10 min. to toast a piece of toast and when it gets a little brown it is hard as a rock. I have to use the pan to toast or it falls off rack into the back and you have to take it all apart to get the piece of toast that fell. The coffee pot goes all over when you try to pour it. I wish I would have just ordered a plain old toaster. The ones that I have gotten from you work great.

Got this for my rv. Seems like it will work, but have not used yet. It looks exactly like picture.

What was I doing my entire life before this I legitimately will never be interested in normal appliances again do not get stuck on basics the coffee pot can be used for soup, pasta, noodles, sauces, cheese and chocolate. The cook top gets hot enough for frozen shrimp and raw meat and is the perfect shape for street food staples. The oven can bake full individual meals and desserts the options seem endless I'm cooking full gourmet meals for my family with the easiest clean up I haven't used my full appliances or even my microwave since purchasing this I would suggest putting a mini oven cover or aluminum foil for easier clean up in the bottom of the toaster and on the toaster plate but otherwise this is the best purchase of the year and has made tiny efficient living a wonderful experience not to mention for $50 this was the ultimate score also the color gives it an upscale pop I definitely recommend 100% get it and if you travel this will fit nicely in a hotel room, camper set up or even a truck stop bathroom or if you live in an apartment without a kitchen if you have access to an outlet and water this little combo can be a magnificent life changing product that will save you so many resources

You do have to keep eye on things in toaster oven, it cooks faster on the under side and you need to flip it for even toasting, unlike other toaster ovens where you didnt need to. Need to be careful pouring water into back resevoir because its a small area to pour in
