I have used dinky little toaster ovens my whole life. This is not at all like them. I love it. It does convection spot on (default time on pizza mode is perfect! ) I've use Toast mode to do both sides of the bread at the same time - no flipping. And Roast mode works well - doesn't heat up my whole kitchen. I'm so glad I bought this! Beware, it is big compared to traditional little toaster ovens.
