This isn't the type of comparison where we can say one brand or product is better than another because they each serve unique needs. However, there is one solar oven that didn't make the cut (see below) and we WILL go so far as to say that certain solar cookers are better than others for certain situations. Therefore...

The Hiker:
You need something light when hiking around, and although it is a little larger than what could fit in a backpack the Sport Solar Oven weights a mere eleven pounds. You also never know how the wind is going to be at the top of a mountain, and the Sport Solar Oven's design ensures that even the hardest-blowing winds will not be a worry.

The Serious Backyard or RV Chef:
Although it is portable, the Hybrid Solar Oven is a little too heavy to carry up into the woods. But if you don't want to be sitting hungry wishing the clouds would go away, this solar oven is the best bet you can make. It uses the sun when rays are available, and switches to electric power from a normal 120V outlet when clouds move in. Even when running on electricity, this solar oven uses about 75 % less power than a normal oven. It also gets hotter than all of the other solar cooking options we found, and reaches a red-hot 500 degrees Fahrenheit in full sun! I can't remember when the last time I turned my house stove up that high without burning something... lucky it comes with filters to cool things down if they get to hot. Although I'm not in the market for a solar oven right now, this is the one I would by for myself if I were. But at close to $300, you'd better be serious about your solar cooking first!

The Entry Level Solar Chef
The Hot Pot Simple Solar Cooker isn't too heavy (19 lbs) but not quite as light as the sport oven. It folds down for portability, but when set up it is susceptible to interference from windy conditions. But it cooks for up to six hours, is perfect for slow-cooking stews on a camping trip, and gets pretty darn hot when needed. But best of all, it sells for under $100 and makes a great Father's Day gift or entry-level solar oven.

Almost Made The Grade
The only oven we can't quite justify buying is the Basic Sun Oven. We like the design and the fact that your food is protected with the tempered glass door. That, by the way, is a great option for those who like to keep things warm for snacking on all night without burning. All you have to do is close the flaps to keep the sun out, but leave the glass door on to keep the heat in. However, it is a fairly heavy solar oven at 21 lbs, and is almost as much as the Five-Star Hybrid mentioned above. Not that this isn't a really decent oven, but if you're going to spend that much money just cough up the extra fifty bucks and get the real deal.
