- The Tovala is a big investment for a small kitchen appliance! Is it worth the money?
While I wouldn’t recommend it for a big family (4 people at most)- it’s become an appliance we use regularly for meal plans- even without the meal kit.

I have had my tovola for a week and LOVE it, LOVE the food. Even though it is a little on the pricy side, I'm single and I don't like to cook or even think about what I am going to have to take to work. What I do is cook for the two days I'm off of work and put the meals together with some veggies in a glass container that I can take to work and put in the microwave. Works perfectly for me and hopefully I can lose weight too. FYI... The steak cooks a little more done than I like.
Thanks for this comment. I work a lot and take my meals, so wondered what people do if they take their meals to work.
Work place microwaves are dreadful.
Perfect Exactly what I wanted to know for a single person. Thanks!
Great review!! Thank you for sharing your 6 month experience. I’m almost at 5 months, 5 meal boxes purchased and everything you mentioned is so on point. I love the oven, but will be cancelling my 4 meal subscription after my 6th box. I’m a single gal and I agree, love the convenience and the quality of the food but you’re right, $12.00 (plus S&H) for a protein and a side dish is pricey. The food is good, but I can replicate most of those meals myself for less than 12 bucks. I’m also very hyper-focused on the environment and recycling, and I hate all the packaging that is involved with shipping these 4 small meals in this box. So much packaging to dispose of. But ❤️ the oven - give it a big 👍
I don’t leave many comments but I have to say I truly appreciate such an honest review. I’m always so skeptical about peoples reviews being genuine. thank you so much ☺️
This video was a game-changer for me I was on the fence to order this until I seen this video thank you so much you're amazing. I am a single person and sometimes don't even want to cook for myself this is going to change my life
Thank you for your honesty! I bought it with that same idea in mind about the scanning many products! They got me too! I'm just learning about the recipes though, so it's good to know they're pretty decent. Thanks!!
This in all entirety was so helpful, and the trader Joe's function was an interesting surprise - my oven is coming this week and I'm very excited. Thanks for this!
I love the oven. We have used it every single day since we got it. 2 person household. The food is tasty but I agree, too pricy for the size. Waaaay too much packaging. We got that deal where the oven was 99.00 with six weeks of meals. We are getting 6 meals a week. Gonna cut that right off after our intro period. Will probably still get a couple a week. I also was very disappointed with the lack of grocery items that actually scan. Hopefully they work on that!
Try Trader Joe's frozen meals
Also I did the same deal it over a certain time period and you can do 2 a month and satisfy the discount for future reference
Great review! Thank you for the information regarding the meal plan for families especially.
Thanks for the HONEST review! Great video!
Love your review. I agree I don't always have the mental ability to cook amazing food after work. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Your review so I am buying it today on Black Friday 2021. THanks again!
Thank you this was a great review! I have owned one for two years and use it almost every day. We usually cook our own food in it like Salmon I buy at Costco but do supplement from time to time with the meal kits. Even after cooking with it for two years I learned something new from your review so thanks!
So glad it helped!
Great review and especially when taking into consideration feeding a family!
Great review! Thanks!
Thank you , just started to look into Robot cooking, wondered about these devices. Your video was helpful.
Thank you! Very helpful.
Great video, I’m single don’t have time to cook. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for the review!
Glad I could help!
I have the Tovala and I agree with all of your pros and cons. I hope the Tovala people hear your comments. Thank you!
We just purchased the Tovala oven and tried cooking our own meal as I haven't received any of their meals yet. I'm also hyper focused on environment and don't use aluminum foil so I'm not going to. I'll probably cook the meals in different cooking dishes. I saw that you used parchment paper so I'm super happy I can continue to use same. The small meals sound perfect for how I eat so other than it being pricey like you mentioned, I'll complete what I agreed to do then probably just use it as a regular toaster convection oven. Thanks for your review it was very helpful!
Thank you for sharing!
I was agree with love my tovala oven chicken and special day enjoyed it
Love the video! Very comprehensive and fair. Have you found any meal delivery service that works with the oven as well as their own meals?
We have loved doing the Home Chef Oven Ready meals in the Tovala! They work great and the portions are a bit bigger.
@@NanLovesFood , is it pretty straightforward? Just use the same cooking time in the included instructions?
I like what you are describing what it can do, but it still sounds complicated. I already know I'll end up waiting forever until I begin using it, but I really want to try it.
So easy. Not complicated. Love the food. Tender meat. Shrimp is tender.
Very good info. With hello fresh we would buy extra protein to add to our meals. Could you do that with Tovalas meals delivery?
They don't offer an extra protein option but you could always supplement with a service like Butcher Box.
I completely concur with your assessment of the smart oven. I don’t yet have any of their meals, but I did cook some beef and cheese taquitos in it, and they turned out just about perfect. It might have also been worth your while to discuss how easy or difficult it is to clean. And if something doesn’t scan, try scanning with the door open if you haven’t done so. Because I understand that when you open the door, a light comes on. But of course I wouldn’t know this, because I happen to be blind.
What are you using under the food? Is it parchment paper? How does that keep from burning?
Be great to know about cleaning
Honest review! Small meals and many grocery items don't scan. I think I'll pass.
I had one couple years ago gave to friend and just got a new one.
When adding water to the reservoir the plastic ring around the water bottle fell into the reservoir. Afraid could damage the oven, cause a fire, or leak plastic into my food. Thanks!
I was the 500th Like!!
Can you microwave anything in it? It says it reheats, but what about warming up water in a cup like a regular microwave?
Of all the meal preps/kits out there, which one do you recommend?
While I haven't tried them all, our household of 2 likes Home Chef the best. Their oven ready meals are super simple on busy week nights.
Has the scanning issue been fixed? I noticed this video is a couple years old.
Is it still holding up a couple of years later?
So if you have a family of 4 are you cooking each meal separately? So the first 2 meals are cold by the time you're ready to serve the whole family?
You can cook 2 at a time. I really think meant for smaller households.
Good to know, my mother and I are considering this
The price of the meals is compared to takeout. I don't want to cook. I like the calorie choices.
how do you know how to cook it? I want to make meatloaf
I really want to order this oven for my husband and I, but I am afraid to give my bank info/card# until I have more info .....hopefully someone can answer this question. I can purchase the oven right now for $49.99 with the commitment to purchase meals 6 times within 6 months. After that, if we want to cancel can we do that with no penalty? In other words, will the oven be ours, free and clear, after that or will they charge us or penalize us in any way? Also, if we want a meal for each of us 5 days per week is there an option for the same meal for two? Or do you just order 10 meals each week? I mean would I have to order the same meal x 2 5 times per week if we want to have the same meal? thanks in advance for any answers and advice.
Did you delete my comment about asking about how to duplicate the ordered recipes on the Tovala? Is it possible to re-make the meals that you have already ordered?
I did not delete your comment. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but the recipes can be saved in the app for re-use.
Does $12 seem steep? Especially for more than one person that can get pricey
They are a little pricey.
12 dollar chicken breasts doesnt seem like a good deal when 3 at the grocery store cost less than 6 dollars
I am also looking at the Suvie 2.0 kitchen robot. Anyone like that?
I'd rather just buy a frozen microwave tv dinner if i am going to eat like that
Looks like a fancy toaster oven. ?
Be aware they have an initial contracted time.
Huh?
