Faster food, cooler kitchen — this compact appliance is a no-brainer, especially during the warmer months when turning on your oven is the last thing you want to do. I’ve used it for everything from cakes and brownies to baked pasta and even roasted tofu and vegetables. It heats up in no time, plus it can fit a decent amount of food: six slices of toast, a 12-inch pizza or even a 4-pound chicken. The LED display has six functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Keep Warm and Reheat, and I’m positive it’ll be getting a ton of use this summer. This is as low as it’s been all year!

Among the other concerns it targets? Dark circles, fine lines, dark spots … need any more convincing it belongs in your cart?
