Super for outdoors!
I bought this to go in the garage so that I could get the cooking heat out of the kitchen. So far I've done quickie dinners like chicken strips and frozen pizza but I have also done cornish game hens using the rotisserie feature as well as homemade bannana bread, pigsnblankets, baked fish and augrautin potatos. It's done a great job at everything. I chose this oven because it was the only one with rotisserie and the ability to fit a 9x13 casserole (actually it holds two!) and should come in handy for Thanksgiving and the like. I will point out that casserole dishes with handles or grab sides will not fit, so don't be disappointed when your go-to pyrex dishes with handles won't fit.
If your plan is to use this inside your house to keep from having to fire up your full size oven then I would discourage you from getting this because I think this oven will heat up the house just as much and take up a ton of space. If you plan on keeping it in the garage or a covered outdoor kitchen then this is the one to get. Lots of value for the price.
----------------UPDATE-----------------------
The oven heating elements quit working properly around August 2012, so this oven only made it about one year. At first I thought I had just screwed up my cooking time/temp, because it had been so reliable previously. It just will not get hot enough to cook. I used to be able to broil steaks and they would come out perfectly, now they won't even cook on the highest setting. I'll be tossing this one out and spending the extra money on a name brand.
