I did quite a bit of research on this unit, and was hopeful that it would perform to my expectations...Well it has NOT disappointed!!  I have only used it twice, and will get the most use on Christmas this coming weekend, but so far it's perfect.  I originally intended to use if for large dinners like holidays, and put it away when not in use.  But it fits so nicely on my counter, that I may end up leaving it there for daily use.
