To bad the oven looks good, but once again a product that doesn't last. On the first day of use the door doesn't always close properly. After 7 days the tiny hinge at the bottom of the door broke. This problem is recurrent for many users I am returning it for a refund. I will look for another brand. H S · walmart.ca

I bought this over two months ago after an extensive research and it's been fantastic. [Pro] - Usability: It's simple to set the time and temperature. I appreciate the dial to adjust temps instead of up and down button which you need to click on good few seconds to adjust temperature. - Glass Screen: The glass front that you can check inside with light makes huge difference.
