OK..OK..OK.. so the knobs are a bit complicated.. (updated)
I'm glad I read the reviews to see why this oven was rated so low. The common complaint was that the controls were confusing.... I decided to go with it anyway (living in Guatemala the other choices weren't what I wanted) and I'm glad I did and didn't settle on another due to higher ratings. Great oven. The temperature is dead on accurate with a good oven thermometer I own and it really isn't all that much of a mind blower to get perfect toast. Nice looking unit as well. If you're a total Luddite and still don't know how to use a microwave or set time on a VCR (shows my age) Then maybe you should pass on this, other wise if you've a normal IQ go get your self a really nice oven... and curl up with the instructions and a magnifying glass for 10 minutes. Nah. even a luddite should be able to figure out the controls. It's simple... one timer controls toast and the other timer controls every thing else and then there's a function knob that selects broil, convection, rotisserie and toast and you set it to toast and finally .. yup three things to remember, you set the temperature knob to toast. Iy would have been nice if they did this when you turned the timer knob for toast, but they didn't. Still no reason to pass on an excellent machine.
UPDATE.. now that we've been using this oven for a while I'd like to give it 10 stars. My wife who's an excellent cook loves it. We've just recently rotisseried 2 chickens in it and they came out just amazing. Just yesterday she commented that she'll never be without one of these devices again and I can't help but agree. So it took 65 years to get one but what a great convenience for two people cooking.
