This has been one of my favorite purchases. It cooks dinner for two in such a short time with the convection oven on while conserving energy also. It was energy star compliant and you'd be surprised at how much space is actually in this small oven. The only thing I had difficulty with was turning the knob for the convection to on. It's a counterclockwise turn and I didn't want to break the knob,however, it just took a sure turn to place it to "on". I did think I would break it,so I called the Cuisinart customer service and received great help with their rep who had the same model and was going to exchange mine until I realized " turn with a little force " . The customer service was great and you can't go wrong with this one with a company that truly backs up its products.
