Default convection oven for polyclay

I've read the info on specific convection oven recommendation at both the Glass
Attic site and also the archived rec.crafts.polymer-clay, and it seems like
most people prefer Welbilt and Toastmaster brands. The problem is that few
mention specific model numbers and those that ARE given don't appear to be
models that are currently available. Has anyone bought one recently that they
like who might be able to provide me with a model number? I have just returned
from a fruitless shopping trip to Walmart, Target and Boscovs. No convection
ovens at ALL (at least none that I could find). So, it looks like I'll have to
go online and buy sight unseen. Hard to buy from the picture on the web,
especially when I've never even SEEN a convection oven in person, much less
used one for polyclay. I'm not even sure what features are good and which not
so beneficial. I plan to use it for polyclay jewelry, so I doubt that I need a
big one unless bigger equals better circulation and less hot and cold
spots...one of the many things I don't know.

Any recommendation are gratefully accepted!

Best Wishes,

yes, that's exactly it. Better temp control, better baking. I love my large
Toastmaster Platinum Convection oven. You don't want to be too close to the
heating element--that's what's wrong with the smaller ovens.
