Circuit Cooker: Desktop Reflow Oven for Precision Soldering

Designed for makers, engineers, and electronics enthusiasts, the Circuit Cooker brings professional-grade soldering right to your workbench. Built with precision engineering and a focus on performance, the Circuit Cooker is a refined upgrade over the Whizoo oven in nearly every category.

Key Advantages:

• Larger Capacity: Accommodates up to 13.5″ x 13.125″ boards, compared to Whizoo’s 8″ x 10.5″ limit, perfect for larger projects.
• Superior Thermal Performance: Scored 86% on the Controleo3 learning mode, outperforming Whizoo by 3% despite its larger size.
• Clean & Precise Design: No RTV or gold tape—just clean, repeatable performance.
• Linear Actuator: Uses a smooth, internal linear actuator for the door, unlike Whizoo’s bulky stepper motor and sharp edges.
• High-Quality SSRs: Employs Carlo Gavazzi PCB-mount SSRs, ensuring top-tier reliability and performance, unlike Whizoo’s cheaper, chassis-mount relays.
• Enhanced Heating Elements: Equipped with six heating elements for even heat distribution, compared to Whizoo’s three.
• Premium Wiring & Connectors: Features silicone-insulated leads and a durable six-pole housing, reducing the risk of disconnections.
• Advanced Thermocouple Setup: Uses a stainless-steel holder and high-quality JST connectors, whereas Whizoo’s thermocouple is less secure.
• Anodized Tray: Unlike Whizoo’s bare tray, the Circuit Cooker’s anodized tray is more durable and resistant to corrosion.
• Upgraded Sound: Equipped with a proper PCB-mount speaker instead of a cheap piezo buzzer.
• Reliable Power Supply: A PCB-mount power supply module with a circuit breaker and inrush limiter, compared to Whizoo’s AC adapter zip-tied inside.
• Modular Power Cable: The IEC 320-C14 inlet allows for easy cable replacement or length adjustment, while Whizoo’s power cable is hardwired.
• Intuitive Interface: Features a capacitive touch screen (like your phone), offering a modern, responsive interface over Whizoo’s outdated resistive touchscreen.
• Superior PCB Design: Circuit Cooker’s single-sided PCB eliminates signal vias, ensuring optimal signal integrity. The layout is so beautifully crafted, I’m considering putting it on a T-shirt!

The Circuit Cooker is the result of extensive engineering and attention to detail—built to deliver a top-notch reflow experience for those who demand the best in performance and reliability.
