Purchased this product +-3 months ago,
goal 1: baking fresh pizzas with a nicely browned crust and a firm bottom
goal 2: repeat this 2 times every day without any problems
goal 3: inside the kitchen
goal 4: Affordable
Goal 1 is a success, after some practice and getting the dough right, the result is just perfect.
Goal 2 is a success every day he bakes 2 pizzas that get better every time (the baking tray also gets better).
Doel 3 the hood is necessary, there is often some smoke development, the high temperature and the excess flour can be the cause of this.
Goal 4 This is subjective, but after testing a few other kilns I can say that this one can be called a cheap alternative to an outdoor brick kiln and towers over any other indoor alternative.
The advantages are, therefore, the high temperature (3 to 4 minutes baking time), low purchase price, beautiful design, and very important .... good after-service.
The disadvantages are, the thermostat which is not really accurate, difficult to clean, and the sometimes heavy smoke development.
Is the device recommended?
If I compare it with the other appliances I have tested (including a clone, microwave oven/grill/oven, gas oven, BBQ) this appliance comes out on top.
So yes it is recommended if you do not want to have a 1.5 Ton oven on your terrace.
Can it break, yes, like any electrical device, it can break, but I have experienced Coolblue's service as incredibly fast in that case.
Yes it broke after +- 200 pizzas and yes it was solved surprisingly quickly by Coolblue, just my thanks for this.
