Its Great. I'd buy it again

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2022

I've used solar for years. This style is great because it retains heat like a thermos so it continues cooking when it gets cloudy, unlike other solar box ovens. Bought it one year ago and used it quite a bit, now it needs a new gasket because heat is beginning to seep out.

poor copycat

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2022

This is a copy of the gosun ovens. I like the big size of cooker and it gets as hot as other non-tube ovens but the design and quality needs work. The reflectors are not adjustable so you cannot aim it at the sun. the pins holding up the reflector easily comes out of its hole. The tube is very hard to clean and the tray is so shallow that juices often spill over into the tube which is too narrow to get an adult hand down all the way tom the bottom of tube for cleaning. The plastic part at top of rubber gasket is melting. The inner liner is now melted because it touched the tray while I was removing food. Also, the black part of tube came with lots of scratches. Works OK as a 'hot' slow cooker but not worth the price.

I bought this for grid-down emergencies. Our first try at thawed chicken thighs was a success! The meat was done and juicy. Clean up is easy and, right now, am satisfied with the purchase and results.

This particular cooker offers ease of storage & setup. I purchased individual solar tubes years ago and made the carriers & reflector panels myself. This is way more compact & will make a loaf of barley bread or biscuits just as fast as the home made version. Thermometer readings are always misleading on solar cookers. I suspect they may radiate infra red energy inside which is absorbed by the food, which is not readily detected by a regular thermometer that senses air temp alone. The thermometer started out at ambient temp, and only reached 250 after 2 hrs on a slightly above average sun day. Yet the bread came out just fine after 2 hours. This particular one performs as well as the home made solar cooker I made and the reflectors on the home made unit were 4 to 5 times larger. So it's a pretty good unit for a solar cooker that uses zero electricity or fuel of any kind. We keep solar cookers on hand for the aftermath of hurricanes, which can leave one without power for extended periods of time, and we use the solar cookers periodically to keep our solar cooking skills fresh. Besides, it's kinda fun to serve the family a meal cooked by nothing but sunshine while you went about your business doing other things.

Product is a compact oven. It is limited to basically meat, potatoes, non-juicy or liquidy foods but if you can find the oven safe containers it's a great unit. If you overfill beyond the recommended 3lbs limit it takes much longer to cook. Either do smaller batches or just keep meals to 2-3 people only. The disposable containers included work great but are pretty flimsy for longterm use. Awesome to cook with the sun though!

It really worksorks

Large capacity, robust (doesn't look as if we will have to stick it back together as we did with our previous much smaller "traditional" design solar cooker).
Only one negative comment - it would be even better with a second slide-in tray with sidewalls up to 2 inches high for bulk vegetables that could be prepared in advance and would allow a rapid change-over from the cooked tray to the new tray. Apart that we're very pleased with it.

Same time as electric oven

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022

The media could not be loaded.

We opened it up, peeled off the plastic, pulled out the styrofoam on tray, and put it in the sun and off we went. We did not preheat it when we made zucchini bread. We cooked one loaf in the electric oven and two small loaves in the solar oven. Had we not pulled the bread out of the solar oven thinking it was done they would’ve been completed at about the same time. So cool not to be using propane or electricity.

The best moist bread

I've had this this for two years. The temperature gage is pointless so one star off. I love how the food cooks in its own vapor. Chicken is excellent really good with potatoes, wrapped the tray in foil and the juices mix. Just Wow

Works as advertised

I love this little oven, it cooks the best roasted vegetables I have ever had, even on an overcast day. My only quibble is that I'm pretty sure I am going to have to replace the sealing gasket at some point, and there was no company information on where to get one. If you read this MrMapMax, please let me know where I can purchase more gaskets.
