A practical comparison

Current Model P or P+? Check the controls and circuit

Current Model P and P+ are close enough in size and cooking envelope to invite a quick name-based comparison, but their mode presentation and viewing features are different. Both are 120-volt electric ovens rated up to 850°F, built around a 13-inch-square stone and a stated 12-inch pizza capacity. Both are described for indoor and outdoor use. The important decision is whether you are looking at the earlier P or the newer P+, and which actual setup instructions apply.

Same footprint class; different control and viewing details

• Model P: Current’s U.S. page lists five built-in modes: Neapolitan, New York, Thin Crust, Frozen Pizza and Broil. Detroit, Bake and Sear are available through the app. The product image and U.S. variants identify Sand (SKU 25553203) and Slate (25553205). The product page marks it “Last Chance”; this is a maker’s listing label, not a guarantee of stock at any particular seller.
• Model P+: The newer page lists eight built-in modes, including the P’s app-only Detroit, Bake and Sear. It explicitly adds an interior light and a new Ocean finish alongside Sand and Slate. The Sand P+ SKU is 26553203; the other finishes have separate native variants. P+ bundle listings use the same oven in several accessory sets, not a different pizza chamber.
• Ooni Volt 2: A relevant electric alternative if proofing or a local mode-specific temperature range is more important than outdoor flexibility. Ooni describes the Volt 2 as indoor-only; its documents include Dough Proofing and specific mode information. That does not make it a substitute for either Current model when outdoor use is essential.

Do the outlet and clearance work before buying

Model P and P+ draw 1,750 watts from 120 volts. The P’s own user guide recommends a 20-amp breaker and 20-amp GFCI for best performance, with 15 amps as the minimum. P+’s user guide specifies a 15-amp breaker and GFCI outlet with no other appliances running on that circuit. Those instructions are generation-specific; use the exact manual for the model being considered, and ask a qualified electrician about an unsuitable or frequently tripping circuit.

Both model manuals call for four inches from walls or objects on the countertop and say not to put objects on the oven or against its sides while operating. They do not state a numerical distance above the oven. The ovens can be used outdoors in appropriate dry conditions, but the manuals say to keep the electric controller dry and the support FAQ warns against rain. “Indoor/outdoor” is not permission to leave an appliance exposed to weather.

Published dimensions are 17.5 inches wide, 21.2 inches deep and 14.21 inches high; the stated stone is 13 by 13 inches. The maximum pizza size is 12 inches. Current lists 31 pounds product weight but does not provide a breakdown that confirms the assembled lifting weight with each included piece. If a strict weight limit or a narrow counter opening matters, get the exact package measurement from the seller rather than treating the product weight as a complete station weight.

Preset counts are not temperature guarantees

For the P, Current describes four pizza styles and Broil as built-in modes, with Detroit, Bake and Sear available through the app. For P+, the current standalone page calls all eight modes built in. A bundle description still refers to five P+ modes, which conflicts with the newer standalone description; rely on the exact oven’s page/manual and confirm the bundle variant before ordering. Neither model’s material reviewed here supplies a full minimum-to-maximum set-temperature table for each mode. The 850°F product maximum is not proof that every mode can be set to that temperature.

Both apps can help monitor a running cook, but Current’s FAQ says remote start is not available. Someone needs to press the oven control to begin. Neither model includes a gas flame, food probe, motorized stone or two independent cooking zones. The stone is stationary, so the cook still decides when to turn or remove a pie. The 13-inch stone should not be used to infer a 13-inch pizza rating.

When accessories change the purchase, not the oven

Model P+ appears in several Current bundles. The Essentials package combines the P+ with a perforated peel and cutter; the Select/Pinnacle package adds cart, covers and a wider group of tools. Two larger packages place the P+ alongside a separate electric griddle or grill. These extras can change how much counter or patio area the whole purchase occupies and what tools arrive. They do not turn the P+ into a larger oven, add a probe or alter its 12-inch stated capacity. The base P and P+ listings include the rack and stone; a peel, cart or cover should not be assumed unless the chosen listing says it is included.

Choose the arrangement that fits the routine

Choose P if its earlier feature set is enough and you are comfortable using the app for Detroit, Bake or Sear. Choose P+ if the interior light and eight built-in modes remove meaningful friction, or if you prefer the newer product configuration. Choose neither if your essential need is a larger pizza, phone-initiated startup, proofing, a numeric weight ceiling the product weight cannot resolve, or a specific unlisted preset. Compare Volt 2 when you want indoor-only use with separately documented proofing instead of outdoor operation.

These distinctions come from Current’s Model P listing, Model P+ listing, each model’s P manual and P+ manual, plus its support FAQ. For the P+ bundle choices, compare the exact included-items list rather than assuming every package has the same tools.
