The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other toaster ovens, convection and pizza ovens, toasters, stand and hand mixers, bread machines and baking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The 2025 iteration of the Nuwave Bravo Pro shares the same physical dimensions as earlier Bravo Pro models: 13.5 by 17.6 by 9.6 inches and 16 pounds. The 21-quart interior capacity and 1800-watt draw are also consistent across the line. This version comes in a stainless steel finish with touch controls.
As a newer listing, it has 172 reviews compared to over 1,500 on earlier colorway variants. The 4.4-star average across those 172 reviews is consistent with the broader Bravo Pro family performance, suggesting the 2025 updates did not introduce new issues.
At $119.99 it is priced identically to the Cozy Blue and Black variants. The stainless steel finish is likely the reason some buyers specifically choose this version over the colored options.
Pros
- 1800 watts in a 21-quart cavity provides good power-to-volume efficiency

- 4.4-star average on 172 early reviews is a positive signal

- 21-quart interior limits cooking larger items
- No max temperature published in spec data

Performance notes
At 1800 watts driving a 21-quart stainless steel interior, the power density supports efficient preheating. The 13.5 by 17.6 by 9.6 inch body weighs 16 pounds, placing it in the same physical tier as the other Bravo Pro models. Touch controls handle all functions. Stainless steel construction on this variant differs from the painted metal finishes on the colored versions.
What buyers say
With 172 ratings at 4.4 stars, early feedback mirrors the positive sentiment seen on older Bravo Pro variants with much larger review counts. This consistency across the product line suggests the 2025 update maintained the reliable performance buyers expect. The sample size is still growing, so it is worth checking the current review count when purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
What is actually new in the 2025 Nuwave Bravo Pro compared to earlier versions?
The published spec data shows the same 21-quart capacity, 1800 watts, and 13.5 by 17.6 by 9.6 inch dimensions as prior Bravo Pro models. The stainless steel finish is available in other variants, so the specific improvements in the 2025 refresh are best confirmed on the product listing. The performance data and early reviews do not indicate a regression.
How does the stainless steel finish hold up compared to painted versions?
Stainless steel surfaces generally show fewer visible scuffs and scratches with regular cleaning compared to painted or coated metal finishes. The tradeoff is that stainless can show fingerprints more readily. For a countertop appliance that gets daily use, the stainless finish is typically the more durable long-term choice.
Is the 21-quart interior large enough for a whole chicken?
A 21-quart cavity is on the smaller side for roasting a whole chicken. Smaller birds under 4 pounds may fit depending on the specific interior dimensions, but a standard 5 to 6 pound roaster will be tight or may not fit at all. This oven is better suited for roasting pieces, baking casseroles, or reheating full meals.
