What is the difference between injection and boiler combi ovens?

The difference between and injection and boiler models is how steam within the oven is produced. With an injection model, water is injected on to the element inside the combi to generate steam. In the boiler model, water is boiled in a tank and is then released into the chamber.

Whether you buy an injection model, or a boiler depends on your requirements and budget. Injection models are more cost effective than boilers.
