First the oven is heavy. It took my wife and I to lift it into place. Once set up I took the time to read the manual which is very importent because of the many setting the oven has. The first item we cooked was a piece of fish. Although the fish turned out good the smell of the fish is still present. The next item we tired was cooking a steak. We weren't impressed with the grill setting. The steak turned out good but there is nothing like a good outdoor grill. We then tried a whole chicken using the convection settings. The chicken cooked about twice as fast and turned into a great meal. We also tried the two different stands and they are a nice add-on when used with the supplied cooking plate. Over all a 5 star oven minus the grill feature.
