I purchased this oven around 10 days ago, and I am very happy with the purchase. Previously I owned a couple of entry-level toaster ovens. The KitchenAid is a level above those, not only it looks nice, but also performs very well. In this toaster oven, I can bake small cakes (9"x9" pan), roast veggies, toast bread, etc. Its convection baking distributes the heat evenly. I noticed that results are better if I reduce the temperature when baking (say if my recipe calls for 300F then I use 250F in this oven instead), meaning that probably I am also saving some energy as well.
