Comment:
Bought this model several years ago and liked it so much it was the first appliance we bought after a house fire -- wanted it in the apartment right away. So convenient for a busy household with teens. The main cooking space is plenty big for most uses. If the drawer were deeper, it would work better for heating or cooking rolls and other baked goods. Love that it makes it easy to bake small quantities without heating a full-size oven.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Have had this microwave for over 3 years. Re heating food, pizza and operation are easy. The only thing I find lacking is the power, can take a little longer to heat food than similar wattage units. Overall I still feel three years into using it that it was a good buy, even for the price I paid.

Microwave oven and Pizza maker
06/13/2010
Strength
I love just about everything about this product
Weakness
could use a tad bit deeper drawer in the pizza oven to accomodate thicker sandwiches and such, to keep the top from burning. Otherwise you just have to watch it closely.
This oven is the greatest! Makes the greatest pizza ever, makes wonderful biscuits for my dog, makes the greatest cookies ...bakes them just right! Makes chicken nouggats for my grand kids, french fries, toasted cheese sandwiches, toasted bread stix, ...the list goes on...and nothing sticks. The nonstick broiler pan wipes up with a paper towel or damp dish cloth. I love the variable temp selection in the pizza oven.The stainless steel exterior wipes clean with a swipe. The microwave is good sized too. I love this product, and use it many times a day.The only other option I can think of is to add convection cooking option to the microwave if it would be at all possible.Who could ask for more...I'm so glad I found this oven!

Great Combo for Quick Oven Toasted Food
09/15/2008
Strength
You get that oven crispiness in less time, easy to use, and takes up less space than a separate toaster oven and microwave. Doesn't get really hot on the outside.
Weakness
Can burn the bottoms of food very easily, ... just need to rotate more often. Limited cooking temps, but it has the main ones.
I'm going to get one of those flexible non-stick pads and trim it to the provided pan and see if that helps minimize burning of the bottom of the food (In case I forget to flip earlier).
