Still haven't had time to open up my broken CSO but found another one at a great price. Still hoping my original CSO can be repaired and then it will be my spare. This company in Canada has CSO's available at approximately $215 USD / $280 CDN - https://www.homecoffeesolutions.com/products/cuisinart-combo-steam-convection-oven-cso-300n1c?_pos=1&_sid=bb587864b&_ss=r

 

Amazon US currently has the CSO at $255.

I looked into Combi over some time ago.

 

built in models then were a bit small for use , and

 

then there was that added installation expense 

 

as I understand it , the Anova counter top model is a decent sie

 

and no additional expense for instalation

 

you do need dedicated counter top space

 

and it seems the Anova has had several glitches 

 

( possibly now fixed ) over the course of its y0ung life.

 

and the price  as all prices these days

 

had certainly gone up considerably.

Are built-in steam ovens (Miele, etc.) far superior to countertop models? DH has decided he is very interested in getting a steam oven for its touted "reheat" superiority but I'm wondering if a countertop model costing <$1000 would suffice as well as models costing thousands

 

Not having a Miele I can't fully address the question.  However after having three Cuisinarts and two Anovas I can say the APO offers more control than the Miele I saw in someone's kitchen.  Neither the APO nor the CSO are perfect, but I'd find it hard to live without one.
