LeJoy Garden Portable Solar Oven,All Seansons Sun Cooker BBQ Grill Picnic Food Heater Kebab Roast Charbroiler with Handbag

This is amazing on a sunny day. It works on an overcast day but works much better on a clear day with bright sun. In about 2 hours you get French fries or chicken or sausages cooked by the sun. It’s like a crock pot except the food doesn’t end up so soggy. Unlike other solar ovens you don’t have to keep adjusting its position every quarter hour. I found it cooks well if I adjust it once an hour. Sure it would be better to keep it pointed at the sun but it’s not absolutely necessary and so you can set up your food and then go and run errands while it’s cooking. Not a large quantity of food but a lot of fun. Use wax paper so the tray is easier to clean. Avoid heating up your kitchen on a hot day. I have been using it on weekends, works best about the brightest part of the day, about noon -2:00, or until about 4:00.

heats and cooks great for about 3 eeks out side reflector is so flimsy it started to bend the the other direction

I cooked chicken with some marinade and the marinade became part of the glass. I tried everything to get it clean to no avail. The sides of the metal sliding tray are very sharp and cut my finger. I prefer the traditional solar oven.

Product is amazing. In 2 hours you can cook any meat. Two problems. 1-Metal legs do not hold well because of a chip material internal nut. 2-the plastic lid where the handle is do not seal properly.

The solar grill works as described, regardless of the outdoor temperature. Sure enough, depending on your geographic location, direct sunlight is much more at premium during winter season. In addition, you don't always get sunlight at the time when you want to cook so, making dinner in Winter and using direct solar energy is out of question. Lunch in Winter, yes. Dinner in Summer, yes. Indirect when sun is out, yes but then you need a different technology. I also learnt that in order to really take advantage of the solar grill, the person who usually cooks in the household has to be excited about it. It requires change in cooking process. Bottom line, I start being more engaged in the family cooking. I find it exciting to chase the sun to get the cooking done but my spouse doesn't give a @#$%. So much, that during unrelated household chores, she dropped the bag with the grill and broke the glass tube. This gets me to the last point. The carrying bag, albeit looking nice, does not protect the product from impacts.

This little oven worked amazingly for the first dozen uses. I made muffins, apple cobbler, steamed veggies, reheated pizza, salmon and more. I was heating up our lunch and we heard a very loud pop/crack and the oven had exploded. It was a good thing we weren’t standing nearby as there was glass everywhere. Lesson learned...don’t buy the cheap knock offs...

This solar oven is amazing, everything I cook from meat, potatoes, veggies, cookies, hard boiled eggs has been perfectly cooked and tastes better than conventional cooking. I have enjoyed the whole process of solar cooking. The solar oven is very sturdy, made well and easy to use. Shipping was fast, got it days earlier than expected, packed very securely in strong shipping box. Buy one you will love it!!

Summary: this is a good value for the price, and you will likely be happy with it, but the Gosun Sport is better if you can afford it.I bought a couple of these after getting a Gosun Sport and wanting to be able to cook more at one time. Buying multiple Gosuns gets expensive fast, so I decided to try these.The quality seems to be rather variable. The first one I got was in excellent condition. The second one appeared to be older; the reflector was somewhat scratched and the sun finder was missing.These don't cook as fast as the Gosun, but they are reasonable. I bought some solar reflective film (B07B8LTZ9V) and put it on the reflectors of the scratched up one; it now cooks a little faster than the other one, but still not as fast as the Gosun. That does solve the problem of it arriving scratched up, however.There also doesn't seem to be any source of extra trays. I would have liked to buy 2 of them so my bread dough could retain its shape while resting as the previous batch cooks, but it looks like I'm going to be letting it rest in a similarly sized mailing tube and sliding it out into the tray once the tray is available. (I'll update this review if that doesn't work.)
