Hi, we,ve been thinking of buying a Ramuska from Lakeland but having read of a bravoska we're now unsure which to get. The Bravoska is only available on the web so we can't see one before buying. Anyone any advice please? For example is the Bravoska ok to run on hookup? Any help would be appreciated.

I aked the very same question some time ago but it didn't get any response. I know there are many out there that swear by Remoska's but I have yet to come across anyone who's bought a Bravoska.
I'll watch this thread with interest.

The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

I have no experience of the Bravoska, apart from seeing them for sale on Ebay and downloading and reading the pdf manual and brochure, so whether they are good for motorhoming or not, well, others will have to have their say. There are previous threads on the Remoska which will give you more information incidentally. Just do a search of the forums.
All I can say is that we have had a Remoska for a year or so now and can't fault it. In fact my wife did a full Christmas dinner in the Alps for three of us this year using mainly the Remoska and aided by a combi-microwave. Very good it was too We find we can cook virtually anything in it. It is especially good for doing part-baked rolls, pizzas, stews, coq-au-vin, you name it! My wife even uses it in the house now instead of the main electric oven. One advantage I can see quickly over the Bravoska is in power consumption. The Bravoska is rated at 1250 watts (standard size) and 1750 watts (XL size). The Remoska only uses 500 watts, so would seem to use half the power (or less) than the Bravoska. We find the standard size Remoska is plenty big enough for two by the way. Yes, they seem expensive for what they are, but they are definitely worth the money.
Hope this helps. Others will come along with advice I'm sure.

The Remoska does everything that is claimed for it, plus I can run both of mine at the same time and still draw less current than the smallest Bravoska. No contest I say. Cheers, Colin.

Hello, we have experience of both the Remoska and also the Bravoska and in our opinion the Bravoska wins hands down. The Bravoska is more stylish, and you have choice from three colours and two sizes. I prefer a modern design and a lot more versatile cooker. Our large family size cooker is 7.1 litres. The capacity includes the lid (or the base if it is inverted) and it is great for not only baking bread and cooking cakes when it is used as an oven or roasting or grilling but also invert it again and use it as a pan for cooking stews, frying etc. The thermostat allows me to regulate the temperature from 60-260*C something that you cannot do with a Remoska. I can slow cook if I want to, or only warm up or defrost or just keep food warm. It is very easy not complicated at all. I am taking my Bravoska to the table and it also keeps the food hot during the meal. My old Remoska was broken and I did not want spent about Ģ50 (lots of money) to repair this. Before Christmas my friend John bought the smaller Bravoska for his girlfriend from Headings (I think he said headings.co.uk, a mail order company). He uses the Bravoska most days and is very happy. He also uses it in his motorhome and saves money over running his main oven and also the red colour matches with his kitchen. He said, that he never has had roast chicken so moist, and it cooks quickly. The oval shape of the Bravoska is also better than the round pot shape of the Remoska when storing it in the motorhome. The size he bought is OK for both of them, but I chose the large one because I have 5 people in our family. The price was only slightly more as well. I bought our Bravoska from a different company wattpowersolutions.com along with an exceptionally good priced 2000 watt DC-AC inverter which we use to run our Bravoska and other things when we are on battery power only. Excellent service they gave us too. I am very happy with Bravoska and I can recommended it to everyone. It has saved me time and also money.

WE have had a Grand Remoska for about 4 years and think its great except for when it shorts out a won't work. This is usually caused by condensation getting into the lid. I can now separate the lid halves remove and replace the windings reposition the ceramic spools in about 20 minutes with much cussing.
We are considering purchasing a Bramoska because of the added versatility and hopefully smaller size than the Grand (supplied by Lakeland because they had no idea when standards would be available).

Our new Bravoskas has arrived (3 days). Initial observations are:- asthetically it has more appeal, it is smaller than the "Grand", and it has adjustable heat output. General immpresion of improved engineering but that remains to be seen. With the Remoska I could get inside it easily for a quick fix. And as stated previously it served us well for about four years.

Just pulling this thread from the past to give a HUGE thumbs up to the Bravoska. It arrived a couple of days ago and we thought we'd try it out. I looked in the fridge and could only find a couple of old spuds - but peeled them and chucked them in with a teaspoon of goose fat and a sprinkle of salt.
20 mins later (yes - that was all it took) we had the crispiest, fluffiest roast potatoes I have ever eaten.
Since then we've cooked and baked just about everything (the dog is looking worried) and think it's the best thing since sliced bread.
If you're thinking of buying one but can't make up your mind - do it!

Can anyone tell me the advantages of a Remoska or Bravoska over a table top oven/toaster which is about one third of the price?
They all appear to do the same job, the table top oven/toaster seems to have an advantage of having indepedant top and bottom heating. I need to be convinced before I spend Ģ80-Ģ100 on the Remoska/Bravoska.
We've just returned from spending a few days in the Lake District, we called in Lakeland to have a look at their stock. They carry a great number of things that you never knew you couldn't do without, you'd use them twice then put them away and forget them. They also seemed to be more expensive than say Argos.
