We got this to replace a cheap smaller model that we were not happy with for many reasons. Yes this was a few bucks more than most we looked at its been well worth it so far.  Its def larger than alot of the ones out there so be sure it will fit where you want to use it. I like the simplicity of use and easy read dials.  I am really liking the convection option as well.  As with any new appliance its trial and error for baking and toasting.  I Flip the included wire rack over and use it rite in the middle of the oven for most things.  I like the black stainless color too.  Its easy to keep clean.  My only complaint is that it didnt come with a small rack to put inside the pan for heating things.  Overall I like this oven a ton.  Time will tell about longevity but initially its great.
