Nikhil and I are really excited to share June with everyone today. Kitchen innovation has been stagnant for years, not much has come since the microwave was popularized in the 70s. So we set out to create the June Intelligent Oven. This is a countertop oven that will bring restaurant quality results to the food you make in your kitchen. We would love to hear from you. What features would you like to see on the oven and in our applications? What types of recipes should we develop before shipping? P.S Product Hunters get $100 off with code "PH100". This will be taken off your final order!

@mvanhorn Is this awesomeness only 110V or 110/220V?
Erik Torenberg
@mvanhorn Congrats on the launch, Matt! Refreshing to see things like this. Out of all the things you could be working on, why this?
Raul Riera
@mvanhorn Does it support HomeKit? this can be the beginning of everything

@cprins_ @mvanhorn 110V right now. 220V later.

@eriktorenberg @mvanhorn My co-founder and I love cooking and technology, and looked at the kitchen today and knew it could be so much better.

I've seen this thing in real life - it's one of the coolest/most professional hardware startup products I've ever seen. Very cool guys and congrats on the launch.

@jjbeshara Thank you!

great but 1500 USD on pre order (2500 USD after)?
Blake Robinson
@ourielohayon I was thinking the same thing. It does look sweet though.

I think this is awesome, but isn't $3,000 MSRP a lot for a 'smart' toaster oven?
David Wong
@brybell for the size yes it is a lot. But I guess we should get excited about the technology, price go down later
Jack Smith
Awesome pair of founders and this looks like quite a beast of a product. There's been a number of companies that have tried incremental technology implementations in the kitchen (eg I have a digital probe etc), but I haven't seen anything close to going as far as this. Per the description, it really does seem to be a computer that cooks. @mvanhorn : it looks like you ramped to a team of 22 pretty fast. given you've got so much tech in this product, where did you start by going about creating it and what roles were your first few hires?

@_jacksmith Thanks, Jack! Our first hire was an electrical engineer, Amanda Tyree. Breakdown of the team right now is: 3 Mechanical Engineers, 3 Oven Engineers (UI, frameworks, embedded), 1 Manufacturing Design Engineer, 2 UI/UX designers, 2 Electrical Engineers, 2 iOS Engineers, 1 Machine Intelligence engineer, 2 Server engineers, 2 PMs
Jack Smith
@mvanhorn Oven Engineer is a pretty awesome job title.

@mvanhorn @_jacksmith Will you support Android?

We really wanted great gpgpu performance for our computer vision stack and leave headroom for future improvements.

@nikbhogal @mvanhorn, I have to ask - what is the inspiration behind the name June? My guess is Leave it to Beaver, but that may not be the case. ;-)

@corleyh I see a trend with hardware startups naming their companies after names of the month. See: @AugustSmartLock

@corleyh We liked the warm associated feelings with summer and having a nice ring to it. It's sadly not named after June Cleaver, though we are fans!

Tegra K1? Kind of overkill, dontcha think? :) Why not go with a cheaper SoC?

At first I was like, "really?" but when I read some of the features and descriptions, I'm pretty impressed. Could you imagine if every microwave even just had the weighing feature? I hate guessing the weight of 6 chicken breasts when thawing. The weighing feature alone solves so many problems. If no one has done that, I would license that patent. Some of the other things seem gimmicky and really add to the $3k price tag.

Do you plan on releasing this for europe? Awesome project, would def buy.
