It is a little bigger than my last toaster oven but it has more features so that is a fair trade off. the controls are a little more complicated but after the 3rd use I didnt need the cheat sheet anymore. I have not put it under the cabinet just in case but my counter has enough room to allow good clearance for heat but it has not gotten really hot. Have yet to try the rotisserie but I am happy so far with the toasting and broiling. I think it is a good value for the price and it offers alot.
