I do! We love it! It does get hot on the sides though. The dingaling lady at the store said, oh you just need an inch on each side. According to the directions, you need 4" on each side. We installed it anyway, and told everyone not to use the oven part. (I liked the size and shape for my space) But you know how things go, we relaxed a little, and then tried the pizza oven. That baby has got a fan on it that comes on to blow out the hot air! We would never put in something and walk away while it bakes. Usually we are right there in the kitchen with it, it bakes fairly quickly too. We have had no problems at all with it.

We bought this unit recently and finally got around to installing it in the kitchen a couple of days ago. We tried baking a frozen pizza last night and it did a great job of that. The main downside we have found so far is that the top and sides get very hot during microwaving - the manual specifies 4" of space at the top, sides and back for proper ventilation.

I also thought, from the reviews, that the unit could be used for toasting, but can find nothing in the instruction manual about this. Broiling is specifically prohibited. The oven has four preset temperatures only - 350F, 375F, 400F and 425F.

I guess the jury is still out on this one as far as we are concerned. It performs well for the money, but doesn't meet all our expectations.

Thanks so much for responding!

Wow, I didn't know about needing the 4" clearance. One of the things that attracted me was the size. The microwave is going to go into a 24" wide cabinet.

Hmmmm.

I'm not sure this will work. The dimensions on the sears site is a bit weird. It says height range 12.6" to 16" and width range 18 to 21". I wonder does the latter number include the clearances?

Would anyone be willing to measure it? I'm also interested in the depth. I didn't see it listed on the specifications.

I'm still thinking about buying it though based on what you've said. Maybe we can still use it until the kitchen is near completion. I could always craigslist it after.

We have had this little wonder for over a year and we love it!

Here are the dimensions: 20" wide. 15" high. 16" deep (plus the handle which sticks out another inch). Ours sits in a 27" wide box, and seems to have adequate clearance. The box has not gotten hot when it is used.

The little oven is great for things like fish sticks and tater tots. And there is no preheating, so very energy efficient. The microwave does an adequate job too -- perfect popcorn, which is it's main function for us.

Hope that helps!

akrogirl, we used ours for toasting after dd2 took our toaster oven with her to school.

Just use the 425 degree setting for 5 minutes. Is it the most perfect toast? No, but it is toasted bread, and it worked for us.

Thanks for the measurements!

Isn't it funny that when you want something, you start trying to figure out how to make it work? LOL! I'm looking at my sketches to see what I can work out.

... and checking to see if it's on sale.

Beekeeperswife,

Do you toast with the pan in, or out, with the bread directly on the drawer rack?

I hadn't thought about using it for toasting!

Thanks!
Amy

Beekeeperswife. The most perfect toast is made when someone brings you breakfast in bed :)

amy, with the pan....it says not to use it without the pan. I'm already paranoid that the island will catch on fire one day, that I try to follow the safety rules, well some of them.

and aloha, you're right. Although the only time that happens is usually if I'm so sick I can't make it to the kitchen. And in fact, that usually involves a lot of begging!

Well, I didn't end up buying it yet. Somehow I ended up running out of time over the long weekend. I hate not having an oven, but since I'm having drywall installed this week, I don't have a sink either.
