We purchased the Black &amp; Decker Countertop Convection oven and love it. This oven has 10 different items that are already preset with timing and temperature for best cooking. Some items are pizza, frozen snacks, baked potato, bagel, etc. The stainless steal outer material was perfect for matching the other stainless steal appliances in my house. The convection item uses electricity rather than gas from my stove, which also saves on money. It heats up in about 1/4 the time it takes to heat the regular stove to the same temperature. Be careful when removing the item, as the outer part of the oven (glass and handle) become very hot. I highly recommend this item and the price point was very reasonable at $70 from a warehouse club. About $90 from a retail store.</p>...
