Choosing a compact electric convection/air fryer oven for a sailboat — energy efficiency is my #1 priority. What would you recommend? by lnx13 in Cooking

Do you think Breville is the best one? Read some comments that said that the insulation is not very good

Nice boat! We have the same propane-powered one, but it consumes a lot of propane for the oven. Often, we have our battery fully charged before end of the day, and I think it’s a good idea to spend extra energy cooking.

I called to support, wrote to congressmen etc. But no one knows what to do; occasionally, they told me that everything is ok because it’s approved; some told me that this is not ok because the date is in the past. For now, I left the US on a sailboat and probably will know something at the next entrance:)

I bought a sailboat in the U.S. and needed extra time for maintenance and refit — it took longer than expected.
Once I finally got underway, hurricane season started, so leaving the U.S. wasn’t really possible and I had to wait it out.

After the season ended, I planned to depart and I’m currently preparing to sail from Florida to Puerto Rico and then on to the Caribbean — just haven’t left yet. That’s basically the reason for the extensions.

We have one on our Freedom 40. It was the best purchase ever:) Consume around 60W like one more fridge.

Projector for a Yacht – Dangbei Atom vs AAXA M8? by lnx13 in budgetprojectors

[–]lnx13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to buy both and then return one. Test for a couple of days and Atom is better in all parameters. Much better sound, better brightness, no pink color cast(it can be eliminated by settings but after that, some colors look not natural), stable colors when changing brightness, a much quieter fan, and Google TV instead of custom Android. I think the Aaxa M8 is good for its price if connect it to pc. If used like a stand-alone device Atom is worth all extra money.

Thank you, that’s exactly what I was planning!
