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.
