The catch
Current Model P+
The standard Model P+ box lists no peel.
Side by side
Current Model P+ vs Chefman RJ25-PO12: Both rate for twelve-inch pizza, Current permits outdoor use
Quick verdict
Current Model P+ is the choice if you need one electric oven approved for indoor and outdoor use, or if you want to monitor and control it from a phone. The black Chefman RJ25-PO12 is the choice for an indoor setup with direct upper and lower heat controls and a peel in the box. Each is designed around a 12-inch pizza.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
A larger stone does not raise the stated pizza limit
The manufacturer specifies a 12-inch pizza for Current's 13-inch square stone. That gives both ovens the same advertised pie diameter, even though the stones are described differently.
Where this comes from
Chefman lists 12-inch pizza capacity. Current lists a 13 x 13-inch stone and, separately, a 12-inch cooking area.
The catch
Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven
The exact black model is limited to indoors.

In practice
Differences you will notice
A larger stone does not raise the stated pizza limit
The manufacturer specifies a 12-inch pizza for Current's 13-inch square stone. That gives both ovens the same advertised pie diameter, even though the stones are described differently.
How we worked this out
Chefman lists 12-inch pizza capacity. Current lists a 13 x 13-inch stone and, separately, a 12-inch cooking area.
The meaningful expansion is a second place to cook
Chefman's black manual does not permit what Current's indoor/outdoor rating allows, which is a second use case. If the oven never leaves the kitchen, that capability may add little to your routine.
How we worked this out
The exact RJ25-PO12-BLACK guide specifies indoor use, while Current explicitly approves indoor and outdoor use.
The heat ceiling makes only a modest difference in settings
Current has 50°F more maximum-setting headroom. Recipes that call for a higher setpoint benefit, but no defensible percentage improvement in heat delivery or cooking time follows.
How we worked this out
850 - 800 = 50°F. No matched measurements of preheat, stone temperature or cooking time were obtained.
Option A
Current, 26553205 smart electric pizza oven, Slate
Model P+
Model P's current version holds on to the connected 850°F platform and places eight cook modes right on the oven, so they are easy to reach directly.
- Best for
- Switch between approved indoor and outdoor places to cook
Facts we checked
- Approved placement: Indoor and outdoor
- Highest setting is 850°F
- Pizza size: 12-inch pizza on a 13 x 13-inch stone
- Control approach: Local controls plus Current app
Option B
Chefman, RJ25-PO12-BLACK, Black
High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven
This 800°F countertop oven offers five guided pizza programs and manual adjustment of top and bottom heat, striking a good balance between price and control.
- Best for
- Set upper and lower heat directly in an indoor pizza routine
Facts we checked
- Approved placement: Indoor only
- Maximum setting: 800°F
- Pizza size: 12-inch pizza
- Control approach: Local touchscreen presets and separate upper/lower settings
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Current Model P+ | Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approved placement | Indoor and outdoor | Indoor only | Chefman's black manual restricts use to indoors, whereas Current can serve two permitted locations. |
| Maximum setting | 850°F | 800°F | What separates them is 50°F of setpoint headroom and not a measured speed or crust advantage. |
| Pizza size | 12-inch pizza on a 13 x 13-inch stone | 12-inch pizza | Two different specifications are in play: stone dimensions, and usable pizza size. |
| Control approach | Local controls plus Current app | Local touchscreen presets and separate upper/lower settings | Remote functions come with Current. Chefman lets you adjust heat directly, with no app workflow, and limits the difference between its two temperature settings to 200°F. |
| Included launch tool | No peel in standard box list | Peel included with stone | If you have no suitable peel, factor that accessory in for Current. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Current Model P+
- A 13-inch stone does not turn this into a 13-inch-pizza oven.
With Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven
- App control is not documented for it, and its maximum is 800°F.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
I need to run it indoors as well as outdoors
Go with Current Model P+. Both uses are in Current's docs.
My indoor routine is covered by an included peel and local heat controls
Go with Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven. Those tools and controls come with the selected Chefman package.
I need to make pizza wider than 12 inches
Neither model fits. The stated 12-inch pizza limit on Current stays the same despite its larger stone.
Decision guide
How to decide
Pick Current Model P+ when one electric oven must be approved for both indoor and outdoor use, or when phone-based monitoring and control appeal to you. Pick the black Chefman RJ25-PO12 when you want an indoor setup with direct upper and lower heat controls and an included peel. Both are built around a 12-inch pizza.
Note where each oven is approved for use
If the plan involves moving the same oven between a kitchen and a suitable outdoor area, Current makes sense. The black Chefman's US manual rules out outdoor use. Some retailer copy mentions outdoor cooking loosely, so let the safety instructions for the exact model decide.
Ask whether the app meets a real need
Current has controls on the oven plus extra functions on the phone. Monitoring remotely can help while you prepare food elsewhere, but supervision and electrical-safety requirements still apply. If you would rather manage heat while standing at the oven, Chefman's direct controls are enough. Chefman allows upper and lower settings to be set separately, within a 200°F difference.
Tally a full launch setup's cost
Each needs a safe way to get pizza onto the hot stone. The selected Chefman package includes a peel, whereas Current's standard package lists the oven, rack and stone. Include a suitable peel in your own setup calculation instead of comparing oven-only prices.
What this page can’t tell you
- Baking performance, temperature accuracy and app reliability have not been measured by us. Published settings and included tools do not show a crust-quality advantage.
