Overview
The Nuwave 20662 is a 1500-watt countertop convection oven with a touch control interface. It measures 14.5 by 15.5 by 12.88 inches and weighs 11.7 pounds, making it one of the lighter options in the Nuwave lineup. The Deep Blue color and PFAS-free material callout are notable distinguishing features over similar compact models.
At 1500 watts, this oven draws slightly less power than the 1800-watt Bravo Pro variants, which may affect preheat speed but is still adequate for most countertop cooking tasks. No bowl capacity or max temperature is listed in the spec data, so if those figures matter to your purchase decision you should verify them on the product page.
With 446 reviews at 4.4 stars, the 20662 has a credible feedback base indicating consistent buyer satisfaction. The $125.99 price sits just above the Bravo Pro line, reflecting the PFAS-free material designation.

Frequently asked questions
What does PFAS-free mean for the Nuwave 20662?
PFAS are a class of synthetic chemicals sometimes used in non-stick coatings. A PFAS-free designation means the interior surfaces do not use these compounds. This is a meaningful distinction for buyers who want to avoid them in cookware and cooking appliances.
Is 1500 watts enough for convection baking?
Yes, for most countertop convection tasks. At 1500 watts you can bake cookies, reheat pizza, roast vegetables, and toast bread without issue. The tradeoff compared to 1800-watt models is typically a slightly longer preheat time. For heavy cooking loads or large cavities, more wattage helps.
How does the Nuwave 20662 compare to the Bravo Pro Cozy Blue?
The 20662 is lighter at 11.7 pounds versus 14.4 pounds and draws 1500 watts versus 1800 watts. The 20662 also carries the PFAS-free material designation. The Bravo Pro has a listed 21-quart capacity while the 20662 does not publish a capacity figure. Both are similarly priced around $120 to $126.
