Maybe the bacon creates too much moisture, but a year after we bought this for our remodeled kitchen (had the opening built specifically for this pretty thing), it stopped working after cooking 2 batches of bacon. Nothing would restart this. Bough another one -- again, because it fit the cubby. A year later, cooking bacon again, and the screen went black. I let it rest, unplugged it, and it came back on. Whew!
