In my nearly 70 years on this earth, I have never owned a toaster oven until now. I did not know what I have been missing. This is one mean multi tasking machine. Being a household of 2 people, smaller portions that usually went in the oven can now be had in less time, using less energy and creating less heat which is quite important here in Florida. We have toasted, broiled, baked, air fryed and reheated with great ease. Clean up is a snap, and the controls are very easy to grasp and turn which is important. The curved back and front which allows for a 12" pizza is so smart, the product designers are to be recommended for thinking like consumers. Once again Hamilton Beach has delivered a winner for all households.
