Is convection feature worth spending an extra $100+ dollars?

Convection gets you browning that you just can't get with a non-convection oven. I work in a bakery and it's frustrating trying to duplicate some of the things we make there when I bake at home. I now have a TOB-195 convection toaster oven, and it's a big help. Things like roasted chicken, fruit crisps, and even cookies take on a different, often superior quality from the convection aspect of the baking. It takes some getting used to, but you can get results that are impossible (or at least much more difficult) with a non-convection oven. I'm thinking about replacing my other Cuisinart with this one because of the brick and rotisserie features. With a high end toaster oven like my the one I have or this, I only turn on my regular oven to make a big pan of muffins or a cake bigger than 9".

Not knowing your particular set-up, (insulation, windows, etc..), I'd say yes......mine get HOT and do a great job of keeping two bedrooms very comfy, if it is heating up and you haven't done so already, place it in the center of an exterior wall and let convection do it's thing...good luck.

Hard to tell without seeing your setup but, as long as the vents are clear you're fine. Both LCD and Plasma rely on natural air convection to dissipate heat. I believe some of the larger plasma models actually have a fan built in but, I think that's only for 60"+.

Nope... not one of the features. But the convection oven does the job. Best Toaster Oven we have had over many years.

the convection is a separate setting...you can bake or convection bake or broil

If I understand convection means fanned air, I'm not sure. I can tell you that I use it instead of a gas oven and it's done everything I've wanted. I hope my answer is helpful.

I see no problem, though always best to check local codes. The cabinet does get hot (but not blazing hot) when set on convection at higher temps. Max set point is 450 but it doesn't hold that temp very well so the practical high end is probably 400 or 425. One last note not related to safety: in my opinion this unit is not particularly well built and would likely fail to stand up to hotel use.

Its not much concept wise...this definitely cooks much better than a convection oven though...it takes a little trial and error to cook things in the flip other than chicken strips and fries but when ya get it right its awesome...one of my favorite purchases recently

Hmm. Aren't you supposed to put a fanless convection heater in front of the coldest area. A sliding door should be ideal. That's how the heat spreads around because of the differential in temps. That's the point of getting a fanless convection, I thought.

I just noticed that Amazon sent me this question, but we have the sharp r1872-r combined micro/convection, so not sure this is what you were asking about.

Yes! Heating speed AND program consistency. Are you also having difficulty with this? Thanks!

Like the others, I'm not certain, but the feature set seems very similar except for dual flush volumes on the 970 model. I can't account for the apparent cost difference between them from what I see here. We love this model (950) and have had it for about 1 1/2 years without any problems.

So far this is a great unit ---All convection ovens generate heat...If your application is a built in you must have the trim kit!

Portable units generally use more power than window units so yes, your best bet to run it low if you are going to go with this one. I found window units to be much more cooling overall, though don't know the exact comparison in costs as I have lived in rental units that had a flat fee for a/c units in the summer regardless of the model.

you can cook with and without convection as there are separate buttons on the controls. There is also no convection in the top oven.

No it doesn't have the convection option. "It has nonstick die-cast grill plate with a semi-embedded heating element that distributes heat evenly"

I believe it would although I'm spoiled by my larger connection oven.I haven't usedThe convection feature. I don't really know.
