Main trade-off
Current Model P+
A peel is not listed in the standard Model P+ box.
Head-to-head
Current Model P+ vs Chefman RJ25-PO12: Current permits outdoor use, both rate for twelve-inch pizza
The short answer
Choose Current Model P+ if you need one electric oven approved for indoor and outdoor use or want phone-based monitoring and control. Choose the black Chefman RJ25-PO12 for an indoor setup with direct upper and lower heat controls and an included peel. Both are designed around a 12-inch pizza.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
The larger stone does not increase the stated pizza limit
Current's 13-inch square stone supports a manufacturer-specified 12-inch pizza. Both ovens therefore have the same advertised pie diameter, despite different stone descriptions.
What this is based on
Current separately lists a 13 x 13-inch stone and 12-inch cooking area. Chefman lists 12-inch pizza capacity.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
The larger stone does not increase the stated pizza limit
Current's 13-inch square stone supports a manufacturer-specified 12-inch pizza. Both ovens therefore have the same advertised pie diameter, despite different stone descriptions.
How we reached this conclusion
Current separately lists a 13 x 13-inch stone and 12-inch cooking area. Chefman lists 12-inch pizza capacity.
A second cooking location is the important expansion
Current's indoor/outdoor rating adds a use case that Chefman's black manual does not permit. If the oven will never leave the kitchen, that capability may have little value for your routine.
How we reached this conclusion
Current explicitly approves indoor and outdoor use. The exact RJ25-PO12-BLACK guide specifies indoor use.
The heat ceiling is a modest setting difference
Current supplies 50°F more maximum-setting headroom. That supports recipes calling for a higher setpoint, but it gives no defensible percentage improvement in heat delivery or cooking time.
How we reached this conclusion
850 - 800 = 50°F. No matched preheat, stone-temperature or cooking-time measurements were obtained.

Current, 26553205 smart electric pizza oven, Slate

- Maximum setting: 800°F
- Pizza size: 12-inch pizza

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Current Model P+ | Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approved placement | Indoor and outdoor | Indoor only | Current can serve two permitted locations. Chefman's black manual restricts use to indoors. |
| Maximum setting | 850°F | 800°F | The difference is 50°F of setpoint headroom, not a measured speed or crust advantage. |
| Pizza size | 12-inch pizza on a 13 x 13-inch stone | 12-inch pizza | Stone dimensions and usable pizza size are different specifications. |
| Control approach | Local controls plus Current app | Local touchscreen presets and separate upper/lower settings | Current adds remote functions. Chefman offers direct heat adjustment without an app workflow. Chefman limits the difference between the two temperature settings to 200°F. |
| Included launch tool | No peel in standard box list | Peel included with stone | An owner without a suitable peel should account for that accessory on Current. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Current Model P+
- The 13-inch stone does not make this a 13-inch-pizza oven.
If you choose Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven
- It has no documented app-control function and tops out at 800°F.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
I need both indoor and outdoor operation
Choose Current Model P+. Current documents both uses.
An included peel and local heat controls cover my indoor routine
Choose Chefman High-Heat Indoor Pizza Oven. The selected Chefman package supplies those tools and controls.
I need a pizza wider than 12 inches
Choose neither. Current's larger stone does not change its stated 12-inch pizza limit.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Pay attention to the approved environment
Current makes sense when moving the same oven between a kitchen and suitable outdoor area is part of the plan. Chefman's black US manual rules out outdoor use. Some retailer copy loosely mentions outdoor cooking, so use the exact model's safety instructions as the deciding source.
Decide whether the app solves a real need
Current offers local controls and additional phone functions. Remote monitoring can be useful while you prepare food elsewhere, but it does not remove supervision or electrical-safety requirements. Chefman's direct controls are enough if you prefer to manage heat while standing at the oven. Chefman permits separate upper and lower settings within a 200°F difference.
Price a complete launch setup
Both need a way to place pizza onto the hot stone safely. Chefman's selected package includes a peel. Current's standard package lists the oven, rack and stone, so include a suitable peel in your own setup calculation rather than comparing oven-only prices.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- We have not measured baking performance, temperature accuracy or app reliability. Published settings and included tools do not establish a crust-quality advantage.
