• A great way to save energy
  I recommend the Tulsi oven for anyone who is serious about saving energy. I've used it a number of times since I bought it 3 weeks ago and have not been disappointed. Probably the highlight has been fresh cherry pie. The oven cooked the crust perfectly (I used the side booster panels but not the hybrid electricity). I'm going to try a pizza and meatloaf soon. The hybrid feature is a great back-up to have, although I wish I knew at which temperature it supposedly kicks on. The clips that hold the oven shut... more info

• good and bad
  Perhaps we were seeking a challenge...we went ahead and bought this solar cooker after reading the reviews that stated the workmanship was shoddy, so we were not all that surprised to find that the side clips are useless and falling off and that the unit requires repainting and resealing. We went ahead with purchase because of its hybrid ability, which we have already used on more than one day out of the month we have used the Tulsi and were glad to have the power backup as it enabled us to have dinner on... more info

• Solar Oven
  I love this oven! Easy to transport, gives me everything I need to cook, and has electric cooking element if needed.

• solar oven
  The best of the solar ovens available. We have 3 types of ovens and this one outperforms all. The Solar Box Cooker get about 20 degrees hotter but is limited to one pot. This oven uses the space available perfectly, allowing 4 different pans to cook at once. The pans are included and are very good quality stainless. Easy to carry around, focuses well and cooks even cakes perfectly. The electric backup is perfect to preheat or boost heat if necessary. Keep the kitchen cool-use solar.
