Air Fryer Mini Oven, 7 in 1: Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Grill, Toasties, Toast & Keep Warm, 2 cooking levels, 17L large capacity, space for 12” pizza, 30% faster, Energy efficient

This is a brilliant bit of kit. We’ve cooked everything one could imagine with it and have yet to be disappointed with any aspect of it. Solid, inexpensive to run, very large cooking space, easy to keep tidy. Knobs are a bit stiff, so if you have hand grip issues, be aware. It’s a fantastic multi purpose counter top oven. Excellent.

The first thing that struck me was the solid construction. All metal, no plastic. Also, the dials feel very solid. The one on my old air fryer broke off and made it unusable. I was surprised with the quality of the toast function, an even toast all around. I did not expect an Air Fryer to do that. It has a pull out tray on the bottom that makes cleaning very easy. The two level frying shelf provides a lot of versatility. I think this one will last a long time.

Does what it says and works really well. Quality is good. Cooks quicker than my conventional fan oven. Timer doesn't seem that accurate so dragged out the old wind up egg timer. The bad point is the controls are black on black (the marker is moulded into the knob with no colouring) and the writing around the controls is so small you need excellent light and glasses to see what mode is selected.

As I already own a Cuisinart grill/steamer/hotplate which I absolutely love I was so looking forward to getting this but I was extremely disappointed. The oven part worked ok and cooked a small pizza very well but the grill section (one of the reasons I bought this) was awful. It takes four dials to set to make a toastie or a simple piece of toast with a lot of guesswork involved as you have to set function, time, temp and shade of toast. It took forever to brown a bit of toast, way longer than my toaster actually would. The main reason I returned it was due to poor grill/toaster performance plus I bought this to try and save money in putting the main oven on. One thing I didn't realise though, is that the only way to get it to work is to use the clockwork timer so there's no way of turning it off if your food is done before the timer has run out. You just have to leave it running until the timer turns back to zero (just like a little handheld wind-up kitchen timer would) before the oven will actually turn off. The only other way would be to unplug it and then wait for the timer to wind itself back to zero. I just thought this was poor considering the amount of money this is priced at (£250). I am glad I didn't pay full price for it as I waited until they reduced it on Prime Day and then bought if for £171. I have used it three times and it's now packed up and ready to return to Amazon. If you just want it for the oven then I supposed it does a half decent job. If you're thinking of toasted sarnies, bagels, crumpets etc then don't waste your money. Absolutely gutted to send it back but not paying £171 for something so useless.

On arrival: The cooker arrived double boxed and well packed, which was good as the courier had apparently damaged the outer box, but the cooker was completely unharmed inside. On unpacking: The unit appears to be solid and well built. Although there was an Instruction book, I would have expected the “get you started recipe book” that comes with most cooking appliances that you purchase. That said, a Google search of -- cuisinart "TOA60" recipe booklet filetype:pdf --, did yield some helpful starter recipes and further information on using the cooker. First impression: The layout seems to have come from a bygone era; with good chunky knobs which need a firm grip to turn, You get the feel that this device is solidly built, although the function indicator decal is a bit small to read easily. Also you gotta love the ticking clockwork timers, its clearly designed in an era when analogue ruled supreme and as such it may not be the first choice of those who like light touch digital controls. That said; this traditional design may well have extra appeal to some people, especially those who follow the steampunk lifestyle. In Use: It preforms well and I was impressed just how fast it does cook, (compared to my gas oven) even in non air-fry modes. I would say that it is a big air-fryer and suitable for a family but as an general oven goes it is equally excellent for a couple. I really like the keep warm function as well, which is great when cooking a larger meal and you want to keep everything hot until serving time. Cleaning is not the easiest task, with the supplied baking tray needing some good elbow grease to get it clean after use. However, this was largely resolved by using smaller (washable in dishwasher) stainless steel baking trays (available from Amazon) on the shelf, instead of the supplied tray. In conclusion: Controls a little clunky, but fine when you get used to them. Alone its great as an air fryer, but it so much more versatile than that. Even given its higher price than most, I still recommend.

Makes pies, crumbed food and pizza lovely and crisp, very fast. Sausages and bacon cook so fast and great for finishing part baked breads. Only one curiousity is the hook inside on the left side that gets in the way and likes to catch on foil, wondering what it's for I guess some kind of guide for the upper rack but I think I will remove it as its a minor annoyance.

The machine certainly gets hot, but how hot? The scale for the rotating button is marked in script at 30 degree intervals:120*C, 150*C etc. So where, exactly, is dead-on 180, how do you work out where 170 is? There are no dots or other marks to indicate. This is just one example of mid-20th century design in an era of microchips and LEDs, but it gets even more bizarre. I find it amazing that the timer is clockwork, yes clockwork - 18th century technology! Once again, it is impossible to be precise, at all when choosing the time for anything closer than 3 minutes because of the lack of markers and the clunkiness of the mechanics of rotating the button. Surrounding the buttons are small silver rings on which the inadequate figures are marked. The one with the different cooking methods has tiny symbols which will fox those with less than good eyesight. This is made worse because of the buttons’ design. They are black, and the indication marks are just wide grooves sunk into the button i.e. black on black - again, not brilliant if you have poor eyesight and/or that corner of the kitchen is not well lit. Once again, I draw the designers’ attention to the fact that we are living well into the 21st century: why are the basket and tray not dishwasher safe? Extraordinary. Perhaps it is because of their fascination with 1950’s chic. Inside the oven there is a groove into which the tray runs, and to stop it coming out too easily there is a little metal flange. This does not look robust, just a very flimsy bit of metal which a bit of carelessness would easily demolish. Parts of the exterior can get very hot, and removing the tray or basket without some sort of handle can be difficult if you are to avoid blisters, dropping the whole caboodle on the floor and cursing a lot. Does the thing cook? With very little help from the instruction booklet, it is a matter of trial and error. So far, it has proved too easy to char the outside of dishes while the inside remains cool. Our previously little-used meat thermometer has proved invaluable and food poisoning has, so far, been kept at bay. The vast majority of books and on-line recipes are American. This does not mean that they are necessarily poor, but ingredients and measurements are different to what we are used to, which makes them difficult to work with. Would I buy this again? No, but having started to use it, it is not something that can be sent back because it does work, although its very dated design makes it more difficult to work with than needs be.

This is amazing. I'm so happy with this. I can virtually do anything with this mini oven but the absolute best thing is everything tastes great. I had thought I'd lost my touch but not at all. The fault lay with my 2 year old Russell hobbs mini oven. This is honestly the very best at such great value and so easy to clean with great quality trays included. So so happy.
