With only 2 temperature settings, not the easiest to control.

A good handful of years back I lost my beloved toasted oven in a moving accident and have been looking to replace it since then. When I saw this pizza oven, I was pretty excited to try it out.

Sadly, it is no where near as versatile as the marketing and packaging make it out to be. We tried to make thin crust pizzas in this and the crust was done quite a while before the center of the toppings were hot enough for tasty consumption. Pizza bagels were better in here - the bottom got a little black even on the lower setting - but they were crunchy outside and hot and chewy inside, just like I wanted. The third thing we attempted was frozen burritos. We used the lowest setting and it burned the outside and kept the center frozen, so I still had to use the normal oven to finish it up. I also did a batch of pizza rolls and they came out the best - no filling came out and they were hot and tasty after just a few minutes.

Overall, I really don't like the fact there is only 2 settings on the temperature - 375 and 600. This does not lend well to even cooking and can make figuring out the pizza oven a little strange in the beginning. I think if you were a family or person who enjoys making pizza at home yourself, you could really save some time on oven cooking and enjoy some good, fresh pizza. If you're more of a frozen snack kinda person, I'd just opt for a toaster oven.

This is a very slick little unit with a digital temperature control and automatic smoke generator, using a wood chip biscuit feeder.  Technically it should be hands off. More on that later.

It is made in the Asia and resembles one of those small inexpensive refrigerators complete with plastic trim.  The interior is lined with very thin gauge Stainless Steel, and has 4 thin gauge racks.  It is fairly light weight especially without the smoke generator attached.  Assembly was fairly straight forward and is easy to move around.

The smoke generator uses lightly packed disks consisting of small wood chips.  These are distributed by Bradley in various wood types.  The smoke generator heats them individually on a small plate until they smoke. After 20 minutes another is indexed into place, pushing the used up bisquette as a blackened disk into a water tray, just short of rendering it to ashes. A tubular magazine holds enough bisquettes to last for many many hours.

The main issue I have with it is it's very poor temperature control.  The key to smoking meat is to keep the temperature low and slow.  This unit struggles with that, deviating considerably from the set temperature, specifically going higher.  There is a 500W heating element in the smoke tower that comes on once the thermostat drops 10 degrees below the set temperature. The actual temperature in the smoke tower rises rapidly once the heater comes on but the thermostat lags way behind, allowing the actual temperature to rise well above what is desired.  The temperature could be some 40 degrees or more above the thermostat reads.  This is an especially serious problem if you are using a sugar based rub, because it will start to burn above 240 to 250F.  Not to mention the fact that the meat will cook too rapidly.

Also being that the smoke tower has so little mass there isn't much to hold the heat, so opening the door to check on the status or baste causes the temperature to drop rapidly.

The other issue I have is that after 3 hours of smoking, I was surprised to see that the meat showed little evidence of smoking.  The taste was there somewhat but seemed weak.

In my final analysis I would say you get what you pay for.  Conceptually it has a lot to offer, and it's design seems very well thought out, but in practice falls short.  With just a little more effort in the way of a better thermostat it would be immensely better.  Also I'm not convinced it needs a 500W heater, it's possible a 250W unit could keep up and improve heat versus thermostat control.

Update:  It's Superbowl Sunday 2012 and I'm using my Smoker for some Chicken Thighs.  It's only the 4th time I've used it in just short of a year from when initially purchased it.  It heated up initially but then packed it in after about 30 minutes. The heating element has failed.  I now get to check out their customer service.

Update:  Customer service is so far excellent.

Update:  Fall 2017.  I used my smoker a few times at first but then it sat for a few years languishing in my backyard.  I put it in storage and then pulled it out again to give it another try.  The cover rotted out of course and I see there was some water ingress to the cabinet.  My biggest complaint is the touch pad has now become difficult to operate.  It requires a lot of pushing.  I also noted on warm days its nearly impossible to keep the temperature below 170F(salmon), even with the heating element off. The smoke generator creates a lot of heat on its own.  Finally I cant believe I paid nearly $40 for a case of Bisquettes.  If I eventually get into this smoking thing I will buy a Masterbult when my Bisquettes run out.

locking feature works great but anyone with time to spare can simply scroll through 1000 numbers to find the unlock code, despite this, the product works as expected but I found the programming a little clumsy to use. Couldn't afford a wifi thermostat and not sure I really need that feature since we're always home.

I wanted a locking thermostat because my kids would walk around half naked all winter and complain about the house being cold.  The temperature would mysteriously go up to 78 degrees after they took their showers and I didn't always remember to check the settings at night so I got this locking thermostat to stop my the "climate change" deniers in my house.

The build quality is great and it comes with some great features.  However, the chord is ridiculously short (you'll need an extension chord run to the table top) and the temperature control is extremely poor.

I hate the temperature controller, or complete lack of it.  You pick a number between 1 and 10 (no idea what temperature it corresponds too) and then it just toggles between full heat and no heat.  It'll switch on and heat the bottom layer very quickly over cooking it, then switches off until the contents get so cold you start thinking you need to turn up the temperature (but DON'T).  It's a delicate balance, but this day in age the fact that I need to even bother is really annoying.  If it was comfortable to just stand by the stove and eat, I'd do that instead.

We purchased this to replace an older Kenmore that was installed in 2003, and which went out suddenly during a heat wave. As soon as we turned it on we realized the older appliance had lost its ability to cool satisfactorily, as this one blasted an 850 sf apartment with an arctic breeze. We actually had to turn the temperature up! This A/C also is controlled remotely, which concerns me because we lose everything. I would have preferred it to be controlled on the appliance or by a switch. Hopefully we'll figure out how to make that work too. We've had it about 3 weeks now and it is going strong. The "check filter" light has already come on, so whether or not the notification features work well is still in question.

Keeps me nice and warm.

But the temperature control works poorly. The right way to control the temperature of an electric mattress is for the controller to detect room temperature and adjust the heat up or down so the temperature of the person sleeping remains the same even if the room gets cooler or warmer. The wrong way is how this controller does it: It doesn't react to the room temperature at all. So if you are nice and comfortable when the room is cold, and if in the morning the room gets warmer, you will get too hot for comfort and will have to wake up and turn the control down. Poor electrical design.

Also, the very small ridges on the control knob make it hard to grip and turn it. Poor mechanical design.

Also, the lowest setting is L and remaining settings go 2 through 9. It's nearly impossible to visually distinguish between the L setting (lowest) and the 7 setting (third-highest) -- they both look the same to me, because depending on the angle, L looks like 7, and/or 7 looks like L. Again, poor design.

Problem with thermostat right away, either the display is incorrect, or I am just not able to set the desired temperature. Pushing the up key makes the unit display 101 after passing 59... ie 56, 57, 58, 59, 101 degrees.... Tried to set the unit to 75 degrees, and cannot reach any temp between 59 and 101. Some of the led lines that display the temp number are also very dim, you can kind of tell what the number is supposed to be, but lines are dim/faded.

Arrived quickly, packaged nicely, just wish it was without these 2 issues.

the preheat is nice;  20 heat settings is a bit overkill, but it works nice.

Tried this to replace original thermostat that the builders installed.  My heating system cycled on way too much.  There should be a way to adjust the temperature range so that it won't cycle on/off until you get one or two degrees away from set point.  Another issue is that when using the automatic switchover mode from heat to cool, it is difficult to temporarily adjust the temp.  When I tried to adjust up a couple of degrees the system wouldn't let me unless it was a huge amount higher than the upper limit.  I had to end up just using the heat or cool mode individually.  Overall, I wish I could return, but it is out of the window.

Works but no as friendly as one a friend of mine has that has an audible when it reaches the temperature.

The temperature control doesn't work well.  On the lowest setting it's way too hot for most tin/lead SMD soldering.  Easy to burn the parts.

Also, there's no ON light, so it's easy to forget to turn it off.  There's a little heater light that flashes when the heater comes on, but it's dim.

Bought this heater to take the chill off a 1000 sq-ft shop with insulated walls. In a 40 degree exterior environment it warms the shop so I have to remove my coat, and the thermostat cycles.

I noted that if the fan is set to AUTO the heating element gets quite hot when the thermostat cuts the heater and fan off at the same time. This is the remaining heat in the element, and the temp excursion can't be good for the heater.
I leave the fan on manually when using the heater to avoid this thermal insult. It takes quite a while for the output air to cool completely off after the thermostat has cut out.

The fan does make unattractive noises now and then. I would suggest turning the fan on and making sure it works before turning up the thermostat. 5600 watts is a lot of power and it will cook the heater quickly if the fan fails.
A better version of the heater would detect the proper operation of the fan before turning on the heating element, and run the fan with a timer after turning the heating element off, but then it would be much more expensive to make. I suppose people would not pay for that, but I certainly would.

Could be more refined as far as temp selecting. Pretty much either hot as hell or off. Not much middle ground.

Gives off good heat. The different setting options are nice. It is a bit annoying that the thermostat can only be set in increments of 5, but that is not a big deal. The remote control is a joke though. The batteries BARELY fit into the battery compartment -- I had to use a lot of force to get them in -- I thought I was going to break it. The battery cover is attached with an extremely tiny screw -- who has a screwdriver that size??? You have to be super close to the unit for the remote to work -- not to mention, you have to push the button a few times before it registers. And there are no numbers on the remote, so unless you are looking at the top of the unit, you have no idea what the temperature is set to. And it resets every time you turn it off. I am not completely unsatisfied, but it is not an amazing product. I would not recommend it, but it works well enough that I will continue to use it. And it does have a nice design.

I purchased this unit for my 91 yr old mother-in-law who is blind. So the fact it was a simple non programmable but had auto changeover appealed to me.  The manual doesn't explain how to setup auto changeover so you will have to call Honeywell.  There has to be a three degree difference between the cooling and heating set points with the cooling set point the hottest.  It can't be the other way around.  You also can't set the two points independently. You set the cooling temp and the heating set point will automatically change to be 3 degrees cooler.  For example, if you want the heating temperature to be 74 the cooling must be 77 or warmer.  One last thing the batteries are not used for backup but are the only power to run the unit as the 24 volt wire isn't used!  It does have a low battery indicator.  The picture showing a bright green backlight is on only when you touch a button otherwise the temperature is indicated by black letters displayed on a dark grey background making it hard to see especially at night with room lightning. I did find the thermostat to be accurate.

Unit works fine for summer AC but for winter heat its a struggle to keep the right temperature. I am technically minded but this unit is very complicated.  For us the winter months mean anything less than 73 is chilly and over 75 is hot especially since we don't have a humidifier. There is a 3 degree float thats hard programmed in the unit meaning if you like your temp at 74 it will heat to 71 and shut off.  So what I have to do is set it to 76 and babysit it till it reaches 75 and bring the setting down to 74. A TOTAL PITA.  I understand its not efficient to force the heat to an exact number but -3 degrees is too much.  Compensating using the temperature calibration does not help. Setting a 3 or 4 cycle program complicates the temperature setting even more. And there is an odd limit on the morning cycle temp at 74 when I like the house to be hotter than normal since it helps to wake us up and the reduces the chill getting out of the shower. If you try to set it past 74 for the morning cycle it loops back to 45!! I've tinkered with the stage settings and calibration, nothing fixes this. But hey, it looks cool right?

I ordered this thermostat for a spare room, as I only need to heat it while in there. The problem was that I thought it was going to be in Fahrenheit and it is actually only in Celsius. It's not too bad because I did the conversion and set it to the right temp, but since this 'her is 'Merica, I was expecting Fahrenheit. Could have been a little more up front with that, as I probably wouldn't have purchased it had I known.
