The Our Place Wonder Oven Pro is worth $269 if two specific things matter to you: steam infusion, and a stainless steel interior with no coating to wear out. It is an 8-in-1 air fryer toaster oven with a 28-litre cavity — more than double the standard Wonder Oven’s 12 litres — plus digital controls instead of a dial. What you are not getting for the money is a longer warranty; Our Place covers it for one year, where a $120 Cosori gets two.
Key takeaways
- $269 for an 8-in-1 air fryer toaster oven with a 28 L capacity — big enough to roast a whole chicken.
- Steam infusion is the genuinely differentiated feature: it keeps food moist where conventional air fryer ovens dry it out.
- The interior is non-toxic stainless steel rather than a coated surface, so there is no nonstick layer to scratch or degrade.
- Digital controls give exact time and temperature, replacing the standard Wonder Oven’s dial.
- Functions: air fry, bake, toast, roast, broil, dehydrate, reheat, proof.
- The standard Wonder Oven is $195 at 12 L; the Pro more than doubles the space for $74 more.
- One-year limited warranty, which is short for the price.
What is the Wonder Oven Pro and how is it different?
The Wonder Oven Pro is Our Place’s upgraded countertop oven, sitting above the original Wonder Oven in size, control precision and interior material. It is the same product philosophy — non-toxic surfaces, design-led, built to sit out on a counter — executed at a larger scale.
| Wonder Oven | Wonder Oven Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $195 | $269 |
| Capacity | 12 L | 28 L |
| Controls | Temperature dial | Digital, exact time and temp |
| Interior | Coated | Non-toxic stainless steel |
| Functions | 6-in-1 | 8-in-1 |
| Steam infusion | Yes | Yes |
| Warranty | 1 year | 1 year |
The capacity jump is the headline. Twelve litres is a two-slice-of-toast, one-tray-of-vegetables machine. Twenty-eight litres takes a whole chicken, a half sheet of roasted vegetables, or enough for a family meal in one pass rather than two.
The interior change is the one that will matter in year four. A coated cavity is a coating that eventually degrades; stainless steel is just stainless steel. For an appliance at this price that is a meaningful longevity argument.
Does steam infusion actually do anything?
Yes, and it is the single best reason to choose this over a conventional air fryer oven. Steam infusion introduces moisture into the cooking chamber, which counteracts the fundamental problem with convection cooking: fast-moving hot air is extremely good at crisping surfaces and extremely good at drying everything out.
Where you notice it most:
- Reheating. This is the killer application. Leftover roast chicken, rice, pasta and bread come back closer to their original texture instead of turning into the leathery version an air fryer usually produces.
- Bread and baked goods. Steam early in a bake is what produces oven spring and a proper crust. Home ovens cannot normally do this without you throwing water into a hot pan.
- Lean proteins. Chicken breast and fish stay considerably more forgiving.
Where it does not help: anything you specifically want bone-dry and crunchy. If your primary use is frozen fries and wings, steam infusion is a feature you are paying for and will rarely want.
That is the honest framing. This is a machine for people who cook actual meals, not primarily a fry-crisping box. If you want the latter, a $119 Cosori TurboBlaze does that job better and cheaper.
Is 28 litres enough to replace your oven?
For most weeknight cooking, yes — and that is the practical argument for spending $269. Twenty-eight litres will take a whole chicken, a half-sheet tray of vegetables, a 9-inch bake, or a full batch of cookies.
What it will not do is Thanksgiving. You are not fitting a turkey, a large lasagne and three side dishes. It is a weeknight-and-weekend oven that lets you leave the full-sized one off for most of the year, which in summer is worth something on its own — a countertop oven does not heat your kitchen the way a wall oven does.
The other thing worth naming: this is a large object. A 28-litre cavity needs a footprint to match, and it will occupy a substantial and permanent stretch of counter. Measure before you commit, including the clearance you need above it and behind it for venting.
What does “non-toxic” actually mean here?
Our Place builds its whole brand on this, so it is worth being specific rather than accepting the marketing word. Three concrete things:
- The cavity is stainless steel. No nonstick coating on the interior walls, so nothing to scratch off into your food or break down at high heat.
- Accessories are PFAS-free. The trays and pans are aluminium with a non-toxic ceramic coating rather than conventional PTFE.
- No forever chemicals in food-contact surfaces. That is the substantive claim, and it is the one people are actually buying.
Is this worth a premium? If you are the kind of household that has already replaced its nonstick pans over this concern, then yes, obviously — you have already made the decision and this is consistent with it. If you are not, this is a well-built countertop oven at a price that is hard to justify on performance alone.
We would rather say that plainly than pretend the value case is universal. The Cosori TurboBlaze also uses PFAS-free ceramic and costs $119.99 — it is smaller and has no steam, but the non-toxic box is ticked there too, for less.
Digital controls versus the dial
The Pro replaces the standard Wonder Oven’s temperature dial with a digital panel showing exact time and temperature. This sounds minor and is not.
A dial is an approximation. You set it near 375°F and trust the thermostat. That is fine for toast and fine for roasting vegetables, and genuinely annoying for baking, where the difference between 325°F and 350°F changes the outcome, and for anything where you want a precise 12 minutes rather than “about that long.”
If you bake at all — cookies, bread, cakes — the digital panel is a large part of what you are paying the extra $74 for. If you mostly reheat and roast, the dial on the cheaper model is perfectly adequate and you can save the money.
What are the Wonder Oven Pro’s weaknesses?
Four, and the warranty is the one that bothers us most.
- One-year limited warranty. At $269, this is short. A $119.99 Cosori TurboBlaze carries two years. For an appliance positioned on longevity and build quality, a one-year term is an odd signal.
- It is expensive. $269 buys a lot of countertop oven from Breville, Ninja or Cuisinart. You are paying partly for materials and design, and you should know that going in.
- Large footprint. A 28-litre cavity is a big object on a counter. This is not a machine you tuck away.
- Steam infusion is wasted on some cooking. If your household mostly makes frozen fries and chicken nuggets, you are paying for a feature you will not use.
None of these are reasons the product is bad. They are reasons it is specific — and a $269 appliance should be bought deliberately rather than by default.
Is the Our Place Wonder Oven Pro worth it?
Yes, for the household that cooks real meals, cares about non-toxic materials, and wants to stop using its full-size oven for weeknight cooking. For anyone else, it is more oven than the job requires.
The combination that justifies the price is steam infusion plus a stainless interior plus 28 litres. Steam makes it genuinely better at reheating and baking than a conventional air fryer oven. The stainless cavity means there is no coating counting down to failure. And 28 litres is the size where a countertop oven stops being a supplementary gadget and starts replacing your main one for most of the week.
If any one of those three does not matter to you, something cheaper will serve you better. The standard Wonder Oven at $195 keeps the steam and the aesthetic in a smaller package with a dial. A Cosori TurboBlaze at $119.99 gives you PFAS-free ceramic and better pure air-frying with no steam and much less room.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Steam infusion transforms reheating and baking | One-year warranty is short at this price |
| Stainless steel interior — no coating to fail | $269 is a lot for a countertop oven |
| 28 L takes a whole chicken or a half sheet | Large, permanent counter footprint |
| Digital controls give exact time and temp | Steam is wasted if you mostly cook frozen food |
| PFAS-free accessories throughout | Still not big enough for holiday cooking |
| 8 functions that mostly earn their place | Cheaper options also offer PFAS-free surfaces |
| Keeps your kitchen cooler than a wall oven | — |
Worth it for / skip if
Worth it for: households that cook from scratch most nights; anyone who has already gone non-toxic on cookware; people who bake and want precise temperature control; anyone wanting to retire their full-size oven for weeknight use.
Skip if: your cooking is mostly frozen and crispy; you need holiday-scale capacity; counter space is tight; you want the longest warranty for your money.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Our Place Wonder Oven Pro cost?
The Wonder Oven Pro costs $269 direct from Our Place. The standard Wonder Oven is $195 and the Large Wonder Oven sits between them at around $225. Note that several third-party sites still quote a $325 launch figure, which is out of date.
What is the difference between the Wonder Oven and the Wonder Oven Pro?
The Pro has a 28-litre capacity against the standard’s 12 litres, digital controls instead of a temperature dial, a non-toxic stainless steel interior rather than a coated one, and eight functions instead of six. Both include steam infusion and both carry a one-year warranty.
What does steam infusion do in an air fryer oven?
It introduces moisture into the cooking chamber to counteract the drying effect of fast-moving hot air. In practice it makes a large difference when reheating leftovers, baking bread, and cooking lean proteins like chicken breast and fish. It offers little benefit if you mainly cook frozen fries and other foods you want completely dry.
Is the Wonder Oven Pro big enough to replace a full-size oven?
For most weeknight cooking, yes. The 28-litre cavity takes a whole chicken, a half-sheet tray of vegetables or a 9-inch bake. It is not large enough for holiday cooking with multiple dishes at once, so treat it as a replacement for everyday use rather than a complete one.
Is the Our Place Wonder Oven Pro non-toxic?
Its food-contact surfaces are made without PFAS. The oven cavity is stainless steel with no nonstick coating, and the included accessories are aluminium with a non-toxic ceramic coating. This is the core of the product’s positioning and the main reason most buyers choose it.
What functions does the Wonder Oven Pro have?
Eight: air fry, bake, toast, roast, broil, dehydrate, reheat and proof. The reheat and proof functions benefit most from the steam infusion system, which is what separates it from conventional air fryer toaster ovens.
What warranty does the Wonder Oven Pro come with?
A one-year limited warranty. This is short relative to the $269 price — a $119.99 Cosori TurboBlaze carries two years — and is the specification we would most like Our Place to improve.
Wonder Oven Pro or Cosori TurboBlaze — which should you buy?
They serve different jobs. The TurboBlaze at $119.99 is a 6-quart basket air fryer that is better and cheaper at pure crisping. The Wonder Oven Pro at $269 is a 28-litre oven with steam infusion, better for reheating, baking and cooking full meals. Both use PFAS-free food-contact surfaces.
