Five kilowatts for an electric oven, that's bananas. That's just a ridiculous amount of power. That's fifty lads on exercise bikes. Can you imagine fifty lads. Fifty lads in your kitchen. Sweating. So you can make cookies.

It's actively developed, so keeps gaining new features like service monitoring.
