Piece of junk
on June 6, 2021
Posted by: KJmia
from Texas
This oven is not worth the money. It arrived at my new construction home without a door handle, a warranty card or an instruction manual. The only features which work on this oven are bake, convection bake and broil. Every other function posts a "Connect for the latest smart features" screen which cannot be bypassed. The SmartHQ app is unworkable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mediocre materials, bad software
on April 17, 2025
Posted by: IMcC
Looks pretty. Cooks well. However, the software is badly conceived and the materials cheap and substandard. We ordered the 'black stainless steel' finish. The surface LOOKS like black stainless, but is actually plastic. Same for the handles. The stainless handles are magnetic. The black handles are milled aluminum with a plastic feeling coating - and NOT magnetic.
Worst of all, the controlling software is clumsy. Worse in the advatium oven, but not great here.

Downloadable features

I love the fact that new features can be added to the oven via downloads. It reminds me of our Tesla.

Small but workable
on January 22, 2024
Posted by: T209
It is a bit small but works well. I would have liked to have the cafe handles on it.

Great oven so far!

So far so good. We've owned it for over 6 months and still are learning how to use all of the features it offers. We love its flexibility to air fry, bake, broil, etc and its ease of use. I'll update the review as we get more familiar with the oven and the app control.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thrilled to have a wonderful new working oven!!
on September 29, 2021

from Phoenix, AZ
I needed a new oven and was remodeling our kitchen. The designer I was working with recommended this product as it had lots of bells and whistles we were looking for. The computerized system is easy to work and we have enjoyed having a calibrated oven again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks so much for choosing Cafe! You must have a very smart designer to recommend such a wonderful oven. We hope you're enjoying the oven and getting to know the ins an outs. Our bell has to be the in-oven camera! Let us know if you have any questions. - John@Cafe
