Compact 2-in-1 Electric Oven & Air Fryer

Received a call at work from my niece announcing she'd be visiting tomorrow. Realizing it's been ages since our last gathering, I decided it's time for a grand culinary welcome. With three nieces whose tastes and preferences I've watched evolve over the years, I'm well-equipped to cater to their culinary delights. My recent acquisition, a compact air fryer oven, is about to make its debut. The decision to purchase this multifunctional kitchen gadget was partly influenced by my oversight during our home renovation. Without a designated spot for such an appliance, it found its home on the living room island. This placement meant size and versatility were crucial in my selection process. The model I chose is adept at handling both savory and sweet creations. It's not just an oven; it transforms into an air fryer, pizza maker, breakfast station, electric griddle, dehydrator, toaster, and even a popcorn maker. Its capability to adapt to various cooking scenarios makes it an asset in my kitchen arsenal. Upon her arrival, my niece immediately noticed the new addition to my kitchen counter. "Uncle, you got a new oven, it looks so nice!" she remarked. Indeed, its aesthetic appeal does not go unnoticed. It’s designed to blend seamlessly into modern kitchen decors without commandeering precious space, proving itself to be a valuable companion for small households like mine. But the true test of any kitchen appliance lies in its performance. As we gear up for a day of culinary exploration, I'm excited to put it through its paces, showcasing its range and proving that good things indeed come in small packages. This oven is more than just its looks; it's about the joy of cooking and the ease of creating memorable meals for loved ones.

Picked up this air fryer thinking ahead to my kitchen remodel, figured I'd use it in a makeshift kitchen setup. Even though I was eyeing a bigger model at first, I decided this smaller unit would be a better fit for my space. And I'm glad I did – it's been more than enough for cooking meals for just a few people, and it's way cheaper too. Been giving it a run for its money over the last week, and seriously, this little thing has been a game-changer. Even if you've got a full-size oven, it comes in clutch, especially when you're just cooking for one or a couple of people. I've made crispy chicken tenders, baked potatoes, air-fried sweet potatoes, roasted a Cornish hen, baked apples, you name it. And yeah, despite what some reviews might say, it can toast bread just fine – it's all in the manual. Only messed up once by not paying attention and burning my toast. The dials aren't super precise, so you kinda have to guess a bit, but I've had no trouble with the timer. Just twist it past and then back to the time you want. If you gotta open it up to check on your food, the fan stops, but the timer keeps going if it's not done yet. Kinda wish it had a light inside so you wouldn't have to open it to check on things. Remember to move it forward on your counter when using it; otherwise, you can't open the door all the way, which makes it tricky to pull the tray out. And yeah, it gets hot, so keep it away from the wall and cabinets. Can't fit a whole chicken in there, but pieces or a couple of Cornish hens? No problem. The basket and drip tray might seem a bit flimsy but cleaning them hasn't been too hard. I've been lining the drip tray with parchment paper, which helps a ton. And a nylon brush works wonders for the basket. Cleaning the inside's super easy too, just needs a quick wipe. Honestly, this thing's gone way beyond what I expected... kind of like my own Easy Bake Oven. Absolutely a five-star gadget!

It's okay. Does what it says.

Good for small spaces.
