I wanted a table top oven, my flat doesn't have room to have a built in one. At the shops it was impossible to find simply an oven. Everything was some kind of oven, rotisserie, smoker, steamer, microwave, air fryer contraption. They all wanted 500+ euros for the honour of owning such a device. There were no knobs or buttons. Only a touch interface with dozens of icons with no description as to what they did. And when you use them, they seem to use all of their functionality with some kind of optimization routine to cook whatever it is you fancy. Finally I did find a simple oven (simple meaning, it has one function and that is too be an oven). But it shouldn't be so difficult.


I could do without all the food preset and "AI" crap that they seem to like adding, but convection is nice, and steam is a great add too.
