It completes the set of the Cafe applainces we now own.  It works well so far although, I have noticed that heating eveness is not great and the knob adds extra steps when using it.  Both were comments I'd read about in reviews.  There is the option of the 30 sec button to add time so we tend to use that.  So far no complaints.  It is not as loud as reviews I'd read, but it is not quiet either.  It works for us!  We are still happy with our purchase.
