I bought this as a gift for our granddaughter and grandson after having their second baby. She absolutely loves it. She can now make larger meals with enough leftovers for our grandson's lunch the next day. She loved the fact that it didn't have programming to do. The teal colour ended up being a win-win as they had just repainted their kitchen. Black and Decker have always been known to make quality products so I can rest assured that this will last them for a few years.
