I searched for a counter top oven as my oven went out on my stove and I didn't want to deal with buying a new one and having it set up at this time, therefore I researched and came up with this counter top oven/stove and I was shocked at how well it cooked, I may never get a new stove as a single older women I don't really need a new stove with having this ....its all I need or could want in all the feature it has.
