Hydravex double oven: two layers, 16 inch pizzas

Layers, sizes and heat

This version is listed as the 16 inch model, and Hydravex says each layer fits up to a 16 inch pizza. The temperature runs from 50 to 300°C, with independent upper and lower controls so you can balance the base against the topping. A timer on the top alerts you when time is up, with settings up to 60 minutes.

Upper and lower heating tubes are there to give even colour. Hydravex claims the oven holds close to the set temperature, which helps when you are working through a queue of orders.

The power figure to check

The listing is inconsistent on power. A bullet gives 1,100 W, while the specs give 2,460 W. That difference affects both how quickly the oven recovers between pizzas and what supply it needs, so confirm the real rating with the seller before ordering.

The plug type and voltage are not stated, and there are no outer dimensions, only a weight of 14 kg.

Everyday use and cleaning

A removable crumb tray catches debris, heat emission holes let warm air out, and the handles are made from high-temperature resistant ABS plastic. Four non-slip feet keep it steady on a counter.

Hydravex lists subs, pretzels, potatoes, bread, cakes, pies and pastries among its uses, so it can earn its counter space outside pizza hours.

Against other double deck ovens

The STDZQCWY double deck oven runs to 350°C, is rated at 3,000 W and publishes chamber and outer sizes. The generic double deck oven at 1,100 W fits only 12 inch pizzas per layer. Hydravex is the one to pick if 16 inch pizzas are central to your menu.
