This is an outstanding toaster oven. It has so many modes of cooking, and so many great features. It has a rack hook that keeps the rack from falling in your lap when you extend it. The heating elements are very well protected and are very efficient. I've baked game hens, chicken breasts and leg quarters, with ultra-crisp skin and juicy, tender meat. I actually roasted a chuck roast at 225 degrees for 2 hours, and it came out incredible. It is very easy to clean, and very durable. The one that I have at home has been used every day for over five years. The ones that I have bought for my company's lunch rooms have been used by all three shifts, every day for 3 years, and they are all going strong.

I live in a small apartment and don't often feel like heating up the oven. Yet, I still crave baked chicken and pork chops as well as pizza. This convection toaster oven works decently, however you may have to cook items longer than estimated and restart the timer multiple times. The temperature only goes up to 400 degrees. The flat tray is flimsy and the drip pan is not very deep. Also, this device can only take a small loaf pan for baking and micro sized cookie sheets. So forget doing meals like large roasts and chicken. Also you have to watch if your items splash to the roof of the item, the top rack is not removable. CAUTION: The appliance does get very warm on the surface. Do take care when brushing past. I have gotten a slight second degree burn from this unit. This appliance is efficient for the small apartment or dorm that allows cooking without a kitchen. Take your time when using to become familiar with operation and be prepared to adjust expectations accordingly.

We've been thinking about getting a convection oven ever since our regular toaster oven started acting up. Finally we looked at BestBuy.com and found this one. Not the base model and not the bells-and-whistles model, not cheap and not super expensive. It's obviously much bigger than a toaster oven but surprisingly fit in the same spot width-wise. The buttons an dials are very easy to use and the toast and bagel functions are super easy. We were worried about how long and what temp to cook things on. After reading online and after some practice, we discovered that if you reduce any recipe temp by 25 degrees and reduce the recipe time by about 5+ minutes, it comes out perfect. So less time and cooks just like a regular oven. Best part is it doesn't heat of the kitchen the way a regular oven does. The fan is very soft. We are so thrilled with it and we use it even more than we thought we would, many times in place of the regular oven. Each time we use it we say to each other "How did we get along without this?" It is definitely one of the best appliances I have ever bought. And what's even better is I brought in a printout of the same item on Amazon for $10 less and Best Buy immediately matched it, no questions asked. I love Best Buy.
