This toaster oven is definitely worth the extra money compared to most the other $200-ish ovens we looked at. The size is just right, the control panel and various cooking modes are incredibly simple and easy to use, and this thing outperforms our old Black and Decker toaster oven by leaps and bounds. Perfectly toasted ciabatta now takes about  4 minutes versus the 12  minutes it took with the old oven. It's nice that it comes with a ceramic pizza stone for making perfect pizza crust. And  it's really attractive, too. Highly recommended!
