[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had owned the smaller non-digital oven/fryer for several years when "warm" and "broil" decided not to function and I figured larger and digital might be better. The first negative was that the unit has two support legs, each one having an extension of about an inch past the back of the unit to prevent placing it tight against the wall. One of my extensions was broken but I was not going to go through the hassle of returning it for what I assumed was something minor. I believe the use instructions could be a bit easier to understand. For instance there is no indication regarding the timer whether one is setting minutes, seconds or hours. One has to stumble across this by use. Two things I do not understand at all; the unit has a clock which displays digitally on the screen when no functions are being used. However the screen does not have any illumination unless one of the dials is depressed, therefore unless you immediately in front of the unit and nearby the clock is useless. The other is the beep the unit makes to indicate completion of an operation. I set mine at 2, the highest of the two choices. Similar to the clock unless you have acute hearing you cannot be further than a few feet away from the unit to hear it. For me, a guy living alone and who knows nothing about cooking, it does make meal preparation a breeze.

Sturdy, accurate, dependable, sharp. Complicated programming, cooking instructions and recipes work better in the earlier version of the oven. Steeper learning curve.
