This Euro-Pro seemed like it might do the trick for me.  I was leery of the "convection" feature, thinking it wasn't anything I needed/wanted but I had no choice as this was the only model in my price range (under $25).  Now that I've used it I wonder how I could have been scared?  The bake/convection feature is all-in-one so you just use the temperature you normally use for baking.  The fan makes it possible to cook evenly and fast.  The wonderful thing is there's no preheating necessary - saving time and energy.  Talk about getting homemade cookies on the table fast!  It's so handy for browning frozen garlic bread (heating up a big oven would be such a waste of energy and nuking in microwave just didn't brown this).  On the con side, I wish...

This phone has a comfortable, easy to use keypad, important for the texting which is available with this phone/plan I chose.  The background comes with adjustable brightness, a necessity using in dimly lit places, like a car (while I'm a passenger - not the driver!).  I love all the features - find them easy to use now that I know how to use them.  The manual was of little help to me, being this is the first time I've ever used a cell phone! (I'm deaf).  The vibrate mode works well to alert me of an incoming call.  — I find it amazing that a phone this inexpensive sports a camera!  It's easy to use, even has zoom and resolution...
