Good Value for the money

Have had the oven for about a month. Overall it is a good oven and good value for the price (I got it on sale).I like the additional space (I moved up from a 27in) and the convection fan. I can comfortably bake all the cookies or cupcakes at once, which is much more efficient. Things have baked evenly, though they take a little longer to bake than my prior oven. I guess I could adjust the temperature, but have not done so yet. Differences from the prior oven are to be expected.It is slower to preheat compared to my old oven, but most of the time that is just a planning issue of when to start the oven during the prep process. Only for things like frozen pizzas is it noticeable. I wish it had a rapid preheat option where it could engage the broiler element along with the convection fan (which is on during preheat) to preheat faster.The convection fan comes on for brief periods (~16sec./min.) even in normal bake mode. It comes on for longer (~30sec./min.) in convection bake mode. I wish there was a "Custom Bake" option, where I could experiment with the convection fan setting during bake (fully off, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, on at all times). I suspect having the convection fan on longer would allow for more of a frying effect. As it is, this oven is not a replacement for my countertop air fryer, which is faster, more efficient and provides more of a frying effect (but is much smaller!).Because the oven is bigger, the doors are bigger and there is more of a reach. My solution is to pull out the rack, which slides easily (for now).The controls buttons are a little less sensitive (it takes more of a push), but the screen itself is fairly sensitive and you can start up the controls just by touching the screen.It has a nice clean look. Not too busy.
