THIS OVEN HAS ALL MY LOVIN’
So I bought this oven during the winter when the gas company decided to hike prices while raking in record profits. They do it every year, but this year, it was especially bad. After a $300 gas bill without even turning the heat on, I decided to buy this oven to replace my full-size gas oven (yay, solar panels). After buying this, my gas bill was more than cut in half, and now that prices have come back down, it’s only $20 / month. This oven literally paid for itself.This was hands-down the best purchase of 2023 so far. Are the controls non-intuitive? Absolutely. I mess up and don’t actually start the preheating or don’t actually start the timer at least once a week despite having it for a few months now.Is it difficult to clean? Ehhh. I tried baking a cake I normally do in two layers in 3 smaller layers, and the cake pans overflowed all over the heating elements and bottom tray. It turned into birthday pudding. But the baked-on bits of char came right off once the oven had cooled down, and now there’s not even the lingering smell of failure.Does it cook food so evenly and efficiently that you’ll wonder how you ever cooked before you had it? YOU BET. Having such a small cavity means you use less energy overall compared to a much more voluminous gas oven. When you open the door to put food in, there’s always a temperature drop, but a smaller oven reaches cooking temperature again more quickly because there is less air to heat up inside of it.In fact, when baking muffins and cakes, I’ve actually had to knock about 25F off the cooking temperature (thanks to the fan) and also turn off the top heating element to prevent premature caramelization and burning. OH, did I mention you can control the heating elements independently on a scale from 0 – 100%!?The only downside is that BECAUSE it’s a smaller oven, I’ve had to either buy new pans or accept the fact that I can’t use certain cooking methods. Most 12-cup muffin pans won’t fit. It’s got a maximum clearance of about 14 inches (~35.56 cm) from side to side and a depth (front to back) of about 10 inches (~25.4 cm). The muffin pans with the curved sides won’t fit. You need a straight, rectangular one (which you can find right here on Amazon!) I can actually fit my cast iron skillet in there turned diagonally, though just barely, and there isn’t enough vertical clearance for a Dutch oven of any size.The bottom line: this oven is quality, and you will not regret purchasing it. Whether you’re baking, toasting, roasting, broiling, or just reheating food, everything comes out perfectly.

Love the grill!
What I like the best about this oven is that food cooks faster and better than in a conventional oven. After work I have time to make dinner, walk the dog AND work out. This is the ONLY way I cook chicken now. It takes some time to figure out but directions are good. A good rule of thumb is if you’re following a recipe, you have to cut the minutes that you would cook in a conventional oven because the air frier cooks faster. The meat probe I checked against a traditional meat probe and it is always accurate. It has a pull out crumb tray, so it’s easy to clean. As well as, all the trays being dishwasher safe. Though the probe is not.

Great toaster oven
So far so good!Have not used the probe yet but pretty much all the other functions works great heats up fast. So many functions it can be confusing but the instruction booklet is self explanatory.

WORST LUCK WITH OVEN AIR FRYERS
well, this is my 3rd air fryer oven, my first was a cosori which i really liked but the preheating sometimes would just go on forever and it did burned two steaks at those times, my second nuwave todd grill was great for steaks in grill but not much otherwise.this nuwave xl hopefully will come ahead since right now i am not impressed with the construction of it, much lighter than the other two, thin in the walls when you grabbed it it pops, the shelves are not great and to slide them is tricky since the track is split front to back.have not plugged it in since i was going to try to make air fry bacon but the 9inx9in pan was too small for the thick bacon slices so i used my oven which takes much longer to make, anyway i will post how well it makes simple one person foodsUPDATE I HAVE ONLY USED THIS PRODUCT THREE TIMES AND NOT GREAT WITH THE FIRST TWO TIMES< NOW I(S PAST #) DAYS AND I AM TRYING TO COOK TWO STEAKKS AT $)) F BUT PREHEAT IS TAKING FOREVER TO GET IT GOING> I GUESWS I AM GOING BACK TO THE OVEN IT SEEMS FASTER
