Living in a 600 sq ft apartment, counter space is premium real estate. I was hesitant to buy another kitchen gadget but this oven really does do it all. The proofing function is amazing—I've started making homemade bread on weekends and the dough rises perfectly every time. The dual NTC sensors keep the temperature dead on, which my old oven definitely did not do. I baked cookies at 350°F and they came out even, no burnt spots on one side and raw dough on the other. The touch and knob combo is intuitive, my wife who's not very tech-savvy figured it out in about two minutes. One thing to note: it does pull 1600W so if you're running a microwave and this at the same time on the same circuit, you might trip a breaker. Learned that the hard way. But honestly, I just plan my cooking around it. The build quality feels premium, the ivory mist color looks great in my kitchen, and the included recipe book actually has some decent recipes in it. Would recommend to anyone looking to downsize their countertop appliance collection.
