FauxPas

I could not resist! The siren song drew me in. Have just ordered one of the new CSO-500 steam ovens! (sound of angels singing.... ) 🙂 My husband (very reasonably) said: "Doesn't the one currently on our countertop work ok?" AND "Don't we have an extra in the garage?" Yes and yes, but the one on my countertop is 3 years old and is disgustingly grotty. Even though I clean it regularly, it gets used so much that it becomes very hard to clean. But I do know someone who would love to have it and I will clean it up as best as I can. Also, my stepdaughter is now mad for this oven, I gifted her one about a year ago. At some point, she will want a new one. All is good. (more angels ..... ) 🤣

I think you now have to follow along on the other thread to see the outcome. I believe @ElsieDis going to ship one now as she is quite a bit closer than me! Good job, Elsie!

If necessary, we'll get you one here in Canada and ship it to you!!! 🙂 One of my cousins who now lives here in BC is going to visit his sister in Kansas City next month. But I think the plan is to fly. If he was driving, I would ask him to bring one along. 😞

I didn't know about Whippets before! Weird, I checked the box on these things and 2 of them said "Made in Canada". I was so ashamed. Hahahahahaha 🙂 Edited to add: I did know about Whippets, my brother (as a kid) loved them and I thought they were disgusting. But when you said the raspberry splotch, it reminded me!!!!!

I tried China just to see what it said and it gave me a big warning that pre-manufactured products imported to the US but made in China may be subject to very high tariffs and I should consider using Canada Post. But I think the same tariffs could apply, they would just be charged after rather than upfront, maybe? Using Vietnam gave no such warning. 🙂

I very much doubt if it would include residential pick-up. And even drop off is not that easy in our little town, no real UPS office only a drop-off at The Laundry (laundromat, ha). And they have very limited hours. And from prior experience, they never answer their phone! Those were 'quick quote' rates up above. If I want the actual final quote I have to complete some Customs/Export information, including where the oven was manufactured. @ElsieD, do you see that info anywhere because I am not seeing it online! 🙂 And that's the other concern, @KennethT - customs, duty, tariffs, etc. No idea of what would happen with that. 😒

I checked netParcel, which is kind of a shipping brokerage site I have used a couple of times. It gave me these options. If it's correct, shipping amounts are similar to what @ElsieD found, even from here in BC! (There were a bunch of other options but the price increases rather rapidly on them!) They list the regular price and the discounted online price both.

Saw these in a local grocery the other day. Pink Barbie food does not appeal to me at all, I have to say!!!

So here's an interesting detail. I now see the original CSO 300 also available on Costco Canada. @KennethT, if you had a choice, which one would you prefer? https://www.costco.ca/.product.1178104.html

I would consider it, but it makes more sense for someone closer to NY to do it. I have no idea of what the shipping costs would be but I'm sure they would be less from central/eastern Canada than from here on the extreme west coast. 🙂 Edited to add: But I will purchase it and ship it to you if it makes sense to do so! Are you able to check shipping costs?

So it should fit underneath an upper wall cabinet with no problem, right? 🙂

yes, that's how I read it, also.

Can you let us know the actual dimensions? It looks like we have four different sets of numbers now, all slightly different! 🙂

From Costco?

I'm still trying to figure out the actual size of this oven. Different sites seem to have different numbers. It's available in Australia and there it says the dimensions are: Weight (kg) 14.3 Product Height (cm) 37.5 Product Width (cm) 39 Product Depth (cm) 41 which is approx 15" high x 15.5" wide and 16" deep. Costco Canada says: Dimensions - Height 41.91 cm (16.5 in.) Dimensions - Length 44.45 cm (17.5 in.) Dimensions - Width 56.52 cm (22.25 in.) And Cuisinart Canada says: Dimensions : 20.80" x 19.10" x 18.30" Here's the Australian video:
