Love it!
I've had this oven for about two years now and it is probably the most used thing in my kitchen. It's also a real bonus, having an extra oven for large cooking jobs like Thanksgiving dinner. We use it for cooking just about anything. The only negative thing I have found is that the temperature is not accurate. However, I have a small oven thermometer resting on the rack inside and it is easy to regulate. One big plus -- having two racks to cook on. Most of the other toaster ovens have only one.
In summary, if it stopped working tomorrow, I'd order another one right away. We love it.

What a great oven!
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.
As of today, Nov 30, this oven is on sale for 59.99 at Bi-mart, 30 dollars off the regular price.

Don't think twice --BUY IT!!
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!!!
