 What a great oven! May 31, 2008
I shopped around for a convection oven and narrowed the choices between the Cuisinart oven and the Hamilton Beach oven. I chose this one cause of the reviews, price (on sale at $69.99 at Bi-mart), had the pans with it and the quality. I've always had good luck with Hamilton Beach products. I still have the hand mixer bought 20 years ago and still works.
We have a small kitchen and I love this oven! It doesn't heat up the whole kitchen. Baked cookies, cakes, roasted chicken (yum!), casseroles; its like a miniature version of our large oven.
It does get hot on the top and the back so allow 10 inches of space around it. It does quickly cool down once it is turned off. I have it on the counter between the kitchen and dining room so it works for me.
I've owned it for 2 months now; hope it will last a long time. Watch for sales or coupon off; may find a bargin.
Don't think twice --BUY IT!! May 25, 2008

This is an AWESOME oven! We have the world's smallest kitchen -- boiling an egg is enough to give you heat stroke ... and our HOA Rules prohibit the installation of a vented fan above the stove. We reached the point where we only baked in cold weather. We gave up on homemade summer pies, pizza, stromboli, cakes, bread... BUT NO MORE!!! This oven ROCKS.
We use this little bugger practically every day. In fact, not more than 5 minutes ago, we finished baking a lovely cheesecake. YUM!
The covection does indeed cut cooking time by 33% -- and in some cases, more.
We are vegetarians and cannot speak for the rotisserie function -- but for baking anything from cookies to pies to cakes to casseroles to vegetarian meatloaf to pizza and even bread -- it's fantastic!
This oven is very easy to keep clean-- not a total counter hog and in all is an excellent buy. When winter rolls around, I'm going to give my regular oven its final cleaning. YA HOO!!!

works good. have not had any problems with anything i made in it. it is a little bigger than i expected. i like that it has a timer on it and when the timer is done the oven goes off. so you wont burn anything.

I received my first convection oven (Cuisinart) as a gift about 5 yrs. ago, but my family outgrew it. After purchasing and returning the Cooks oven from JC Penney, I was desperate to find another convection oven. This oven was a great choice. The slide-out crumb/drip tray makes it very easy to keep your oven clean. The heavy gauge baking pans (two, 12 X 12 in.) don't warp when heated like most. The motor is whisper quiet. I hate timer dials that tick--this one is so quiet, you hardly hear it ticking. The exterior of the oven gets very warm; however, it cools off very quickly after it's turned off. There is so much room in this oven and it hardly takes up any counter space. I first seen it at Kohl's for $149.99, but purchased it at Kmart for $89.99. By the way, it wasn't even on sale! You won't be disappointed by this oven.
