Touch screens are all the rage right. It seems that they will be also appearing on appliances. This latest oven by Barazza features one as well. Are they worth it?
The Barazza Velvet Touch Screen oven is available in a few different colors and finishes. It has some really interesting technological features, and includes some minimalist design, which we always like. There is an automatic door, which opens when you touch the touch screen display. The touch screen allows you to personalize the integrated cooking programs, and to customize the oven's functions. There is even a USB port!
Other cool features include the temperature probe, the self-diagnostic program, and the electronic child lock. The available optional components are self-cleaning panels, a glass baking tray, and a pizza plate. Prices will vary depending on your chosen style, finish, and optional components. If you are shopping for a high-end oven, then this might be right for you. The touch screen is interesting, but what really makes these ovens different are the number of features. Granted, you can probably get similar features on other ovens, but none of them feature USB-ports.

Only problem with adding high technology to things like ovens - if it breaks, its probably more cost effective to just replace the oven. However, if you lose a knob on your old oven, its a few dollars to fix that.
Tradeoff for amazing technology I guess.
Automatic door? Last I checked I could open and close doors just fine. Maybe for those who have trouble with that it would be a great idea, but for now I will continue doing that myself. Don't get me wrong, I love technology, but maybe we have taken it too far with some items. Jetson's here we come!
Wow - and I thought my freestanding gas Elextrolux was all wowsy! I was apparently wrong! (I didn't get it to show off though, I got it because I USE it and it was a fabulous choice) i love my touch screen though because for one thing it is SO easy to clean.
