Revainrating 4 out of 5

There's definitely a learning curve and takes a bit of getting used to

Original order arrived with a dent on one side that obviously was due to miss-handling during shipment -- the shipping box and product box were both damaged in the spot where the dent was. It was easily returned for free and a replacement arrived in perfect condition.Yes it's big. But I'm replacing TWO toasters and a very large combination air-fryer/pressure cooker/slow cooker that needs two separate lids to be able to use all the functions and it takes up WAY to much space. The N**** appliance actually takes up nearly the same amount of counter space PLUS cabinet space for the extra "pressure" lid and the various accessories. Add two toasters to the mix and I'm actually gaining a lot of real estate on my counter.I've seen people complain about having to preheat the oven for toasting -- I didn't preheat and just started the toast feature on the default temperature and time. It worked perfectly for wheat and rye toast. I haven't tried it with white/light breads. Preheating an oven or an air-fryer is required no matter what, so no issues there.Yes, the beep every time you push a button or turn a dial is quite loud, but not a deal breaker. I LOVE the fact I can turn on the light and see what's happening inside.I've seen comments about wanting to be able to prepare meals faster -- but this isn't a microwave. It takes less time and energy to heat this oven than my full size oven, and since I'm usually preparing dishes for only two people it's a win-win situation so far, but I can also use this as a second oven to bake rolls or a side dish while the roast is still in the oven instead of having to wait until the roast is out so I can adjust the temperature for rolls or a side dish.I've given 4 stars across the board simply because I haven't used it enough to judge all the options or features. But so far so very good.
