Cecotec

The cheapest option in both its families in Europe — and honest about what fits in it

Cecotec appears in two families here: toaster ovens and cooking food processors. In Europe it is the least expensive entry in both.

What we found writing the reviews

Two capacity figures. The Mambo 11090 Daily publishes 3.3 liters (about 3.5 quarts) total and 2.3 liters (about 2.4 quarts) usable. Every machine in that category has a gap between the two, and almost none publishes the second.

Stainless, not coated. The same machine uses a stainless jug, stated to take daily use without wear, and adds an AutoCleaning cycle. On a vessel that both cooks and chops, cleaning is what decides whether it gets used on a Tuesday.

A small oven with published limits. The Bake&Toast 1090 states 10 liters (about 10.5 quarts), 1,000 W, up to 446 °F (230 °C), a 60-minute timer, protected quartz elements and a double glass door — a fuller specification than its price suggests, with an audible alarm most inexpensive ovens omit.

And the usual gap. Neither product publishes internal dimensions, and the Mambo publishes no wattage — for a machine that both heats and chops, the figure one would like.

Buying Cecotec in the United States

Both models reviewed here are European. The Mambo 11090 is listed on Amazon.com under its EU reference and shows as currently unavailable; the Bake&Toast 1090 has no US listing. They sit at the end of their shelves for that reason. For toaster ovens sold in the US — including the Elite Gourmet French-door, which does publish its inside dimensions — see the toaster ovens page; for food processors, the food processors page; and for US makers, the brands page.
