This tabletop oven does everything a conventional oven does, only much faster and more efficiently. This little oven cooks food twice as fast and it uses 85% less energy. It's almost magical. Well, it uses conduction, infrared, and convection technology to cook the food so quickly. So it's not magical but it is pretty impressive. (The company has patented the trio of cooking methods it uses to cook the food so fast.)
Another claim-- and one that I can't verify although I find it interesting-- is that infrared cooking results in more "grease release" that other cooking methods, so you're getting healthier food.
So this items still leaves one wondering why you would use a tabletop oven instead of your conventional oven. I'm all for saving energy, but I'm not going to let my conventional oven languish to use this instead. I would, however, use it in the summer when I want to cook without heating the whole house up. You could use it as a second oven for very large affairs. And it would be ideal in an RV, a dorm room, and a small apartment, on a boat. It's fairly lightweight and you could easily move it around.
Here's another NuWave model to consider.
