It's does not take up too much space on the counter, but has plenty of room in side the oven. It's really cute and I like the red color. I didn't give it five stars because it's a little difficult to get the timing on cooking the food correct. The first couple of times I used it, I burnt my toast, even though I had the toast setting on low. But when using the bake function, it takes a longer time than the recipe recommends to cook the food. I'm starting to get use to it's idiosyncrasy, but it took a little time.
