It's like a huge toaster oven...
The pizza oven works fine but it only heats at 350 degrees so you can't REALLY cook a pizza properly at that temperature. The rotisserrie works OK but the claim that you can put a large bird on there are false. The oven is tiny and the 3# bird has to be tied up tighter than a football to keep from touching the bottom of the oven (it cooks okay though). The standard bake oven is absolutely terrible - it cooks so uneven it's not even funny (I have a pumpkin pie cooking at this moment that has burned streaks on one edges and the middle is still liquid, and yes, I have foil over it) - cookies bake crispy on one end and chewy on the other. The convection is finicky - it will cook things very quickly but it's not easy to get it right since there is no magic time as to exactly when it will be finished.....I baked a fruit pie that was gorgeous on the outside and totally raw on the inside. I ended up cooking it again in the standard oven - I had to keep turning and turning to keep it from...
Was too small for a larger pot. Returned and got the 42L Wolfgang Puck oven.
This looked like a great oven but my larger pots and some rectangular cake pans didn't fit into it. Small counter footprint and probably OK for people heating things up etc. Cute pizza bottom area but wished it had been oven space instead. Never turned it on. I returned it and got the 42L Wolfgang Puck convection oven. So much easier for those that want to have a useful oven that still saves energy instead of heating the regular large oven. The 42 L also has 4 elements at the top which, used on broil, with the upper rack in, means even toasting is quick despite it's size. For versatility, get the larger oven if you have the space.
Poorly manufactured item
I purchased this on the advice of a friend. it arrived without all the parts and since they have been "backordered" for over 4 months and I can not use the rotisserie feature. Next, the door would not close. The body of the oven is on "backorder" also so I am now waiting 6 weeks for that replacement. I think there are some design flaws with this oven and WP Productions is either redesigning or just not going to fix them. I can not ascertain what will happen as you are given no information other than everything is on "backorder." Other than that... the oven cooks quite nicely in the convection and standard modes. The pizza oven is also good if you are cooking a small 6-8 inch personal pizza. The crust was done nicely. Since we have a store that makes fresh pizza in this size, I find this a good feature for me. Too bad the lifetime warrenty is not honored in a timely fashion.
