Our Place Wonder Oven vs Typhur Dome 2 Air Fryer AF05

The Wonder Oven from Our Place is a small countertop oven that folds several appliances into one cavity: air frying, baking, broiling, toasting, reheating and a steam-assisted mode. Its design pitch is the opposite of most multi-function ovens, which get bigger with every mode added. This one is deliberately compact, with a footprint aimed at kitchens where counter space is the binding constraint rather than capacity. The steam-assist function is the distinguishing feature: adding moisture during the cycle keeps baked goods and reheated food from drying out, and helps bread and pastry crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. Controls are physical dials rather than a touchscreen, and the oven is sold in the same colour-led design language as the rest of Our Place's cookware, which is a real part of its appeal to its buyers.

The Dome 2 takes a different shape from most air fryers. Instead of a deep bucket, it uses a wide, low-profile 5.6-quart basket with a full-width cooking surface that fits a 12-inch pizza, so food spreads out in a single layer rather than stacking. That layout is the whole point: single-layer cooking is what makes air frying brown evenly. It uses dual heating with adjustable fan speeds, exposed through the Typhur app in Air Fry mode on this AF05 revision, plus 15 cooking functions and a self-cleaning cycle. The basket is aluminium alloy coated in a PFAS-free, fluorine-free ceramic non-stick layer, which addresses the coating question that comes up repeatedly with air fryers.

• Genuinely small for a six-mode oven, which is the main reason to pick it
• Steam assist meaningfully improves reheating and baked goods
• Physical dials are faster and more reliable than touchscreen menus
• Replaces a separate air fryer and toaster on a crowded counter

• Wide single-layer basket browns more evenly than a deep bucket
• PFAS-free ceramic coating answers the non-stick safety question
• App-adjustable fan speed is unusual at this price
• Self-cleaning cycle cuts down on scrubbing

• Small cavity limits batch size, so it will not handle family-sized trays
• Expensive for its capacity compared with plain countertop convection ovens
• Not a replacement for a full-size oven for roasting or large bakes

• Basket height means it cannot fit a whole chicken or tall roasts
• Large 19.7 by 15.6 inch footprint needs real counter space
• Advanced fan control depends on the app rather than the front panel
