Yes having a combo convection Microwave oven is very handy. It allows
me to have a largish toaster oven nuker combo kinda for everyday use
and to have a seperate real toaster to toast just bread/bagels.

Mostly I cook my dinner veggies or reheat frozen home made soup in the
nuker, but come the holidays when I need to cook for larger groups than
just me, it is a necessity. My regular stove's convection oven isn't
big enough for say a large turkey/ham and a large casserole or two at
the same time.
