I wasn't expecting much from this oven. I wanted a reliable oven at a reasonable price. I was replacing a 16+ year old Whirlpool that had a fried control board. All I needed was an oven that can essentially duplicate what my old oven did. This one has done just that. Probably a little better than the previous oven. With the fan spreading the heat throughout the oven, foods seem like they're baked a little more evenly than with my old oven. This oven is also quieter than my previous oven. As for baking, this oven fits the bill. Remember, this is NOT a smart oven. You have to manually set the clock. There's no push alert reminder that the food is done cooking. Just set a cook time, and be alert for when the timer ends. Haven't needed to clean out the oven just yet. But, it looks like it is relatively easy to do. If you're not looking for fancy bells and whistles, this oven does the job you need it to do, with simplicity.
