This has been a great investment. My wife and I have no children so I cook for two. I now use this oven to do most of the cooking in. It is simple to use, takes up little counter space and looks good on the counter. I bought the bamboo cutting board and the pizza tray. This oven bakes a great pizza, perfect size for two people. I like the cutting board to convert the top of the oven into a storage area. You don't need the cutting board but I do recommend the pizza tray. I like the oven so much I bought the same package for my Mom. She loves it.
