I confess, even though it's for the kitchen, I bought this so that I could carry it outside this summer for baking (we don't have air conditioning). I haven't had to carry it outside yet! Yes, unbelievably, it preheats in less than 1 minute. I didn't believe it until I timed it! I could SMELL my lamb chops broiling before I could feel the heat coming off the oven!
The outside of the oven does get VERY HOT. Hot enough to burn so you should be careful no children can touch it and probably keep plastic dishware away from it.
Obviously if the oven is hot, it's adding radiant heat to the room, but I haven't felt any increased heat. The oven itself is hot but I don't feel the extra heat even a few inches away! Like I said, I haven't felt the need to carry it outside even though that is why I bought it. It doesn't blow hot air into the room like my oven and my old toaster oven.
I'm glad I read someone else's review that mentioned the SP101 is easier to clean than newer models. This is so easy to clean! Not only can you remove the bottom tray, FINALLY a toaster oven that lets you open the bottom of the oven! An especially nice feature given the size of this oven. It would be impossible to clean if the bottom didn't open.
Buttons aren't intuitive (and I can't read them without glasses), but they were easy to learn: On, Function, Timer, Temperature, Start. It's nice that it remembers the function (bake, broil, etc) and time and temp last used, but I haven't baked the same item twice in a row. I like that it turns off automatically when the time runs out.
In addition to broiling lamb chops, I have baked muffins and cookies and mini cheesecakes. The first batch of muffins burned because I didn't know to adjust for convection baking. Since then, so far, my recipes have turned out as expected when I've reduced the heat 25°F and reduced the baking time 25%.
The flip up feature is very nice and an efficient use of space. I think that novelty might wear off in my household. A month from now, it'll likely remain in the down position for convenience and laziness.
I've only broiled and baked so far - I haven't even made toast yet. (Palm to forehead: I just realized I ate bread instead of toast with dinner tonight.) I'm looking forward to trying the other features.
I wish the interior was about 1" taller, but I wouldn't trade that for the ridiculously fast preheating or for the chance that it'd put more heat into the room. I picked this size for its potential portability and I love what I got even if it never moves.
P.S. I discovered 12" square x 1/8" thick plate aluminum makes great cookie sheets for my Ninja! 1/16" thick would also work.
