I must say, I am extremely impressed with this intelligent oven. It is pricey, but that is the cost of admission for a peek into the future. If you have to wrestle with the price, then this is more than likely not for you because you will go in with non realistic expectations. This oven is designed to grow and adapt over time due to user input. Basically, it learns. As with any new peice of technology, you have to allow it time to grow and be refined. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I look forward to many happy years of cooking in my June oven.
