As you can see from my photos, I don't have much counter space for appliances. This toaster oven is perfect for me as the door opens up, rather than down taking up  precious prep space. For it's small "foot print", this appliance is ideal for pizza, re-heats, and I've even made cupcakes in it without heating up my whole kitchen using a full size oven. 
The controls are easy to see and use. Using this oven and the controls is pretty straight forward. And the oven is sturdy enough that I would highly recommend this oven for every day use. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
