$200, nah I'm good
difficult to find a countertop convection 120v oven with this large size. all the ninjas and the brevilles and such are a lot smaller. the ninjas are tall enough for my needs, but not quite wide enough. my 15 inch wide (incl. handles) 9x13 in. pyrex dishes don't fit. the breville pros are 16 inch wide, which is enough to fit my 9x13 pyrex, but the brevilles are a bit short. difficult to cook a 14 pound turkey in it, unless maybe you spatchcock it.
this one is the perfect size, to replace my 240v range, but run for free electricity on my 120v solar system. also, i could put it on the back deck and cook outside on hot days or if cooking something which will stink up the house, like fish.
the main appeal of this one is by far the size. if you can get by with a smaller sub 1 cubic feet convection oven / air fryer, then there are many options and brands to choose from.
● Internal dimensions: 15.32″ W x 13.40″ D x 10.83″ H
kind of stingy on the accessories. just one wire rack, black enamel or shiny baking pan, rotisserie hooks and handle. one orange oven mitt. no air fryer basket. i have another mesh shallow air fryer basket from a previous oven, but it is not as big or wide as this oven, so it would have to be set on top of the rack to support it. it won't just slide in.
the rack seems strong enough to support quite a few pounds without bowing too much. set the 14 pound frozen turkey on it, and it seemed to hold it ok.
i was a bit worried it would not fit on the back 18 inch wide kitchen counter. our other counter are standard 24 inch. the unit is a bit deeper than 18 inches, but that is including the handle which juts out. the actual feet on the bottom of the unit are slightly inset, so it fits on the 18 inch countertop with a bit of room in the back to spare. i will have to test it out and see if there is not enough air circulation, and might have to move it. will see how hot it gets on all four corners.
might have to put something thin (any ideas? silicon?) behind the oven to protect the wall from the heat, depending on how hot it gets. i can pull it out right to the edge or lip of countertop, giving it a bit more room in back, but then the front hangs over a bit.
i suppose i could push it back so it's flush with the edge of the counter after it has cooled down and it's not in use.
there appear to be no heating elements on bottom of oven. just a unique sort of W shaped heating element on top, rather than the typical two straight bars that go across, and a reasonably large fan to evenly circulate the heat.
not sure how well and evenly this will cook, but one obvious advantage is it looks like with no heating elements on the bottom of the oven, you can set something like a pan directly on the bottom floor of the oven. no heating elements on the bottom in the way to lower the usable interior height. could maybe find a deeper aluminum pan (to catch all the drippings) to cook a turkey by setting it on the bottom floor of the oven.
of course you could set the turkey in the black enamel pan that is custom designed to fit this oven on the bottom rack or overn floor, but the pan that comes with the oven is not very deep (like an inch high), and i don't know if it will hold all the turkey juices without spilling over.
in any case, i took a 14 pound butterball out of the freezer that i got on discount from amazon after thanksgiving, and it fits without any problem. decent amount of clearance (2-3 inches?) so the top element is not going to scorch the top of the bird, especially with a bit of foil over the top?
my two 13x9 pyrex glass baking dishes are exactly 15 inches wide when you include the handles, and they barely fit inside. it is very close. the including baking pan is listed as 15.3 inches wide, but it is designed to slide in the grooves, which are inset in the walls a bit.
anyhow, they just barely fit, which is what i wanted
i can't find my tape measure at the moment to measure exact dimensions, but not having elements on the bottom, allowing you to set dish or pan on the very bottom of the oven does make this oven have much more height than most all other inexpensive countertop ovens.

it looks like it's definitely worth the price of $199. the key question is how well/evenly/accurately does it cook, and how long will it last.
but so far, i am happy with the fit and finish, the style and the nice large size.
i probably won't be doing the initial burn-off, or actually cooking with it, until tomorrow.
i don't even see a dedicated toast function or any mention of it in the manual. i will have to read the manual and play around with the settings just to learn how to make some basic toast.
the fit and finish and styling is nice, the oven seems well-built and insulated sufficiently. the outer walls of the oven don't get all that hot. after 20 minutes of baking, i can set my hand on the outside walls, top and the back and my hand does not get burned at all. i do notice the left side wall gets noticeably warmer than the right side, the top, and the back, which are only mildly warm to the touch. the glass door of course gets pretty warm too.
also, i noticed there is not only a W shaped heating element on top which glows, but a large round heating element around the reasonably large round fan in the back.
the manual speaks of a heating element or heat pipe on bottom, but all i see is a flat shiny metal bottom to the oven. apparently there are settings which can be selected to select either top or bottom heating, and then convection with the round element in the back that surrounds the fan, but i will have to do more reading and experimenting to figure it all out.
sure, eventually i will learn how to make this oven do what i want it to do, but teaching my elderly mother in her 80s how to use it? that is going to be a challenge.
the biggest downside so far is the lack of user friendly and intuitive controls. an oven like this should be simple. something should be labeled, bake, convection, broil, etc. then you should be able to just set a temperature and a time and hit start.
but all they have is confusing icon pictures and no words. for example, i had to read the manual just to discover that a picture of a baguette piece of bread represents bake.
i thought the first icon would be for toast, because the picture looks like a piece of bread. but no, that is not for toast, that is the ferment feature.
not happy about the steep learning curve with this oven, but the physical specs and the styling does feel premium for only $200.
yes, it is not too noisey when it's running.

...starts off showing photos of the inside of the unit with a M or W shaped bottom heating element, to mirror or match the top one. but then later on in the video, it shows what mine looks like, with no bottom heating element at all, just a smooth bottom to oven.
there is no removable drip tray. just a one piece oven interior with a flat bottom, because grease will not drip onto any exposed bottom heating elements, because there are none.
apparently they didn't bother to update the manual, because the manual speaks of a bottom heat pipe and a drip tray, which mine obviously does not have. perhaps older versions had a bottom heating element?
not sure how well things that need to crisp on the bottom like a pizza will turn out with no element on the bottom. sure, it does allow for more vertical usable space. you can set a pan directly on the floor of the oven, which means you can cook taller items, like a larger turkey or chicken.
with no heating element on the bottom, you don't have to worry about food or grease dripping onto the lower elements generating smoke.
key question is, how well will it cook/crisp with only heating on top and the back circular element (with convection fan to distribute) and no traditional bottom heating element?
we will see.

mine didn't come with a bottom heating element like shown in the video. did yours?
