After 12 years of rugged use, I'm very impressed by my Sun Oven. It has been left out in sun and rain, and I only got around to oiling the wood this year - so the oven's not as pretty as it was, but it's still totally functional.
It cooks nearly everything (greens and brocolli overcook quickly, but everything else is easy), saves money, keeps the kitchen cool, and keeps me from ever burning anything. I love it, and have even held "solar oven workshops" for my neighbors - actually three because word went around.
On very windy days, it's good to brace it somehow to keep it from blowing over, but that's the only problem I've had (I used to live where it was *very* windy). Once, I left the door unlatched, and when it tipped over, the glass door swung open and shattered. The door cost about $80 to replace, so keep it locked, and it will not break.
Because the wind at my old home used to blow so hard, the reflectors would swing slightly but constantly on their hinges and, after ten years, got weak. Last year, I decided to replace them, and Sun Oven was very helpful, and sent them out for a very small fee. (A friend with a pop rivet gun replaced them for me.)
Finally, food tastes better cooked in a sun oven - seems the energy of the sun is more natural and embues food with a lovely quality. One Summer Solstice, I got up early, started potatoes by eight a.m. for a potato salad, then followed those with a whole series of items, finishing up with an apricot cobbler which I took out bubbly just as the sun was setting. What a great day!
