I have the Solardom oven that he mentions towards the end, and they really are a step above standard ovens in terms of versatility. I have had mine for 10 years, and not only is the oven technology pretty good, but the user interface is genius in its simplicity. I think it's the only oven I've ever owned that I have discovered and used all the different modes that it provides, because after all, who really wants to spend their time reading an oven operating manual...
That said, Nathan pretty much hits on all of the criticisms that I do have of the oven. Pre-heating takes way too long, high-heat requires hacking the safety mechanism of the oven, and no rotisserie (although they do use the pulsed heat hack that Nathan mentions).
I'm a foodie, and my next oven will be another Solardom, which is as high praise as I can give, but I wish there was something even better.
