This is an essential item for anyone in their 20s cooking food for one on a regular basis. I probably use it 3 or 4 times a week. It's wonderfully simple.It's the perfect size to heat a supermarket quiche, OR some of the components of a larger meal for one e.g. 3 or 4 sausages, hash browns or fish fingers, OR to reheat part of a larger meal cooked days earlier in a normal oven. Some Sundays, I make a puff pastry tart in my normal oven, cut it into 4 slices, put the 3 unconsumed slices in separate takeaway boxes in the fridge, and then reheat a slice a day in this appliance for 10 mins. Because it is basic oven technology with two heating elements, rather than microwave, the puff pastry reheats with the crispiness of the pastry maintained! Unlike a microwave which makes reheated pastry soggy. All this said, I would never attempt to fit a cake tin into this appliance (not least because even if it fit, I am not confident the temp is consistent enough for baking -- you really need to bake using a fan oven that evenly and consistently distributes the heat around the oven interior).I've done the maths and it uses approx one third of the energy of a normal oven assuming you would've heated the thing for the same amount of time in either appliance. That saves energy so is good for the planet and your wallet. I've never paid attention to the temperature dial, always left it on the maximum temp (whatever that is, perhaps 230 celsius although I doubt it truly reaches that temp). You will see, the heating element switches on for a bit, off for a bit, on for a bit, off for a bit -- it's not faulty, this is how it's supposed to behave, don't be alarmed. Also a word of warning -- there is a nasty slightly smoky factory smell the first time you use it. This smell is gone after 3 or 4 uses though, it was a distant memory after a few months of usage. Here I am 18 months later and it looks almost as good as day one.Top tip: I am not confident it would ever be possible to clean the heating elements since they are surrounded by perforated metal shields. As such, I never put something like a pizza slice (which could drip melting cheese onto the lower heating element) onto the oven rack insert. Instead, I always put potentially drippy food items onto the solid baking tray insert. This is common sense really!I also think the simple, understated design deserves some recognition. Good job on creating this highly useful addition to any kitchen! One of the easiest 5 star ratings I have ever given.

This is 1 of the best things I have bought.so easy to clean, so easy to use even if youare disabled like me.No burnt hands getting food out.fod tastes a lot nicer.saves loads of money on energy bills

For all the campervan people... This oven is great, it's light weight and compact, and cooks reasonably well. Rated at 650w it usually pulls between 673w to 693w on my 1000w continuous pure sine wave inverter. I've cooked many pizza in mine, I find I usually have to reduce the cooking time (probably cos its so compact) which is great for power savings. The only slight gripe is that the door spring is not that strong, so the door may open as you go round a corner. I have 2 130ah leisure battery charged with 2 100w solar panels, and that's enough to use it every day even in the UK's poor sun.

This tiny little Oven has exceeded my expectations. I purchased it for my campervan but am now using it at home too. Firstly, it is small but if you’ve done your research you’ll know that. I decided on this model over the other recommended ovens because it was advertised as having lower exterior surface temperatures. This is important to me as it will be used in an enclosed space in the campervan. It does recommend that you have 4” of ventilation on every side. I have measured the outside surface temperatures over a 200 degree, 40 min cook. The top reached 55 degrees and the sides 45 degrees. The back is relatively cool at 30 degrees. Really impressed with this. The knobs, door handle stay cold.The performance is impressive. It can be used as a grill if you leave the door open and easily toasts bread/crumpets in minutes.The oven, although small is impressive. I manage to cook chops, roast potatoes and cauliflower/ broccoli cheese on one tray (see photo). Things don’t take much longer than my larger conventional oven in the house, maybe a couple of minutes.It bakes cupcakes well too.I can’t find fault with this unit except the lack of interior light. It’s a solid 5 stars for me and have already recommended to friends.Extremely happy

It arrived today and I wanted to try it, it's not worth it...maybe for the kitchen...it's ok, but not for what I wanted. I have to turn it off and on so that it doesn't exceed the temperature that reaches 170C even though the indicator is at 100 degrees C! You need to invest in a better oven, even if it's more expensive but you're safe...too bad it's small and you can't put it next to you.

Not a bad little cooker but my concern is the weight. It is very light and could easily be pulled off the work surface. There's a lot of rules and regulations eg don't cover the tray with silver foil which I would expect with a microwave. Luckily it is cheap so I will probably buy a better one. Wouldn't recommend

It is a good deal considering its quality, size, and price. It is perfect choice to my needs.
