This is an initial review! My family (ranging from 26 years to 93!) is upset that we do not have the kind of oven we had before. It is too complicated for some of them to have constantly enter what feature is needed and then how to set all the particulars. The time I was able to set toasting, for example, I was able to do it. But I too find it just too bothersome since one has to bend over, the knob easily moves on to other lines, and the booklet is really not very helpful. Please do not forget that not everyone is as savy as the designers/planners who always try to "out-stophisticate" the competitors! So my answers to the following questions is strongly influenced by these considerations.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It took me a while to figure out how to use the settings, but once I did, It is easy to use. My only regret is that it doesn’t have an enterior light. So, you have to use a flashlight or open the door to check on food.

We finally settled for this convection toaster after exchanging 2 other products. We're absolutely happy with this convection toaster. First, it fits perfectly in our modern kitchen with sizes that both functional and yet not too over imposing. Second, its simple yet practical and easy to use features allow getting our various types of food ready in no time and with little effort. Finally, a sweet deal is a great deal when we found a product that we like so much, with a very reasonable price.
Strongly recommend!

PRO: controls are very easy to use CON: coffee is too hot 195 degrees, lid should be hinged, very difficult for arthritic fingers to remove. opening to fill reservoir is very small and difficult to do without spillage. carafe doesn't empty out, leaving some in the pot

My wife and I are somewhat disappointed in this toaster oven. It seems to be on the hot side on most of the settings. A previous other brand oven would need a 6 on bagels.. this one I put on 3 and it is almost burnt around the edges and I have it on the rack the quick guide shows me to use..We find we have to watch everything, even toast, when we put it in so we don't burn it... not a happy camper ..

The oven appears to be functioning as advertised. However, the unit is very difficult to keep clean. It is advertised as "easy to clean" which is not true. Particularly the pan you insert is impossible to clean - have tried cleanser, Dawn power spray and other cleaners to no avail. We cover the pan with aluminum foil, but if anything seeps below, it stains the pan and looks very unsanitary.
