The oven is ok, not great, not bad.....it does mostly what it is supposed to do (if you can figure out the operation without the manual.....the manual sucks as much as the control aspect of this oven...I bought the B&D over a year ago and still have difficulty setting the control of operation....right now, today, everything on the oven still works except it will no longer go above 232 degrees....if it doesnt reach 350 the electronics will not let anything else be adjusted, so it has become essentially useless...It is supposed to (supposed to) have a limited factory 2 year warranty....I am checking into it tomorrow, Monday.......I don't know what the "limited" part of the warranty means.....I also own a Cusinart oven broiler...I have it for about 5 years and use it almost every day at least once..It is a little smaller in size but it has been unfaltering in performance and easily is the best electric oven I have had in the last 40 years....simple to operate, maintenance free, exacting temperature control (as mentioned by the manufacturer B&D could learn some lessons from them...........

Even though our toaster oven still worked, it was starting to look worn and old with burn marks and such. Came across this as I was looking for a replacement before entertaining for the holidays. Decided to upgrade to a convection style oven, despite the fact that we have a double wall oven...thought this might be good for heating up left overs and such. I think this is really more for someone in an apartment without a conventional oven. My first observation is that the present buttons for your common cooking tasks (ie. toast, bagels, pizza etc. )are small and difficult to read without my glasses.

The function of the oven itself is fine, however there is a learning curve and you must read the operating manual to figure this out. Not a plug and play model and not the friendliest UI by any means. Having the unit for only a few days, these are my initial observations....wondering if I should have just gotten a simple toaster oven instead. Time will tell, I will follow-up after I see how family friendly the unit is
