Chefman's 30 cm indoor oven is for a household that wants homemade pizza on the worktop without dedicating a huge stretch of counter to it. It reaches a stated 425°C, uses a touchscreen with style presets, and comes with a generous bundle that includes a cover and a cookbook. The 30 cm size suits individual pizzas, so everyone can choose their own toppings.

In its favour
- The maker states 425°C settings for quick restaurant-style pizza on the countertop.
- Includes a pizza stone, stone brush, peel, protective cover and cookbook.
- A 47.6 by 43.2 cm footprint suits a smaller kitchen worktop.
Good to know
- The title says 4 presets while a bullet lists 6, so the exact count is unclear.
- At 16.5 kg it is heavy for its size, and the warranty is not stated.
Our take
Temperature and presets
Chefman quotes 425°C settings for cooking pizza in minutes. Wattage is listed at 1,700 W, lower than the Daewoo or BIG HORN indoor ovens, so expect a slightly longer recovery between pizzas, although the listing does not give a figure.
There is a mismatch on presets. The title says four, while a bullet lists six touchscreen presets: Neapolitan, New York, Thin-Crust, Pan, Frozen and DIY. Check the manual or ask the seller if a particular style matters to you.
What comes with it
The included components are a pizza stone, a stone brush, a pizza peel, a protective cover and a cookbook. The brush and cover are useful extras that rivals often leave out, and the cookbook gives beginners a starting point for dough and timings.
Fitting it in the kitchen
The specification table gives 47.6 cm deep, 43.2 cm wide and 27.8 cm high. That is a compact footprint for an indoor pizza oven, but the listed weight of 16.5 kg is high for the size, so plan for it to live on the worktop.
Chefman also says the oven suits countertop use outdoors. If you do take it outside, keep it dry and sheltered, as with any mains appliance. The listing does not state a warranty period.
Daewoo and Kenwood as alternatives
The Daewoo 12 inch oven quotes a slightly higher 450°C, adds a lit viewing window and offers a 3 year warranty on registration, but names only a single pizza preset. The Kenwood My Pizzeria is much lighter at 4.7 kg and stores easily, though it has no style presets and Kenwood quotes around four minutes per pizza. The Chefman sits in the middle with more styles than either.
Verdict
The Chefman 30 cm indoor oven makes sense for a compact kitchen where you want several pizza styles at a touch and a well stocked box, including a cover. If you want to see the pizza while it cooks and value a stated warranty, the Daewoo is the better fit, and the Kenwood My Pizzeria is the choice when the oven must go back in a cupboard.
