How to make a choice?
The products of the Russian brand are quite large volume chambers - such a stove is suitable even for a family of five or six people.
Furnaces with increased power (in 2000 W) is not recommended for installation in houses with weak wiring. However, the more powerful the model, the faster it heats up.
According to its technical characteristics the technique is very similar. Regardless of the buyer's choice, he will receive almost the same unit, just with a different volume of the working chamber.

Grand total
Avex brand ovens are one of the few in their price category, equipped with convection, grill and spit at the same timeA pleasant bonus for owners of the equipment will be the presence of a crumb tray.
On the downside can be attributed to the almost chronic absence of the company's mini-ovens on the shelves of large retail chains. In the line there is not a single model with burners from above. Extremely ascetic design can be considered both a plus and a minus. But no display definitely presents some difficulties.

Comments
The only thing I don't really like is the short timer - only 60 minutes.
But you can somehow get used to this too. You just have to start the timer again sometimes.
And the presence of two dozen functions that you practically never use is a waste of money overpaid at purchase.
