I purchased the analog version of this air fryer/toaster oven. I’ve been trying out a few things to figure it out and how best to cook with it. Makes much better toast than the Kitchenaid model that I replaced with this. I was able to give away my huge air fryer and toaster, too. I air fried battered fish fillets and tater tots last night. It worked well as an air fryer and I was able to cook on top and bottom level at the same time. I made a huge mess by shaking the basket with the wire rack pulled out and then pushing it back in with nothing under it. The unit cooled quickly and cleaned up perfectly with just my soapy dishcloth. I touched the unit all around on the outside while it was cooking and it wasn’t too hot. Oven turns off if the door is opened. Tonight I reheated leftover fried chicken and fries with the bake setting and it was really good. As good as fresh. I have an extra toaster oven pan that fits and gives me two baking pans with the included “broiler pan”. My favorite feature is the light in the oven. None of my previous ovens had an inside light and it’s very helpful. I store all of the pans inside the oven when not in use. I highly recommend this air fryer/toaster oven. I’m well pleased with it.

Looks good, seems to work okay so far. Those who say the toast function doesn't work, keep reading. I purchased this specifically to fit in my 15" wide x 14" tall appliance garage, It sticks out a bit too far to close the garage door, but I plan to use it daily. Hopefully the heat does not discolor the cabinets over time. It does not seem to get super hot on the exterior when in use, but I have not ran it more than 15 minutes at a time so far. Thankfully it doesn't have a super dorky weird-sounding brand name like so many Amazon products, since it is on display in my kitchen. I am happy that it seems to have all mechanical controls, meaning no circuit boards to randomly stop working. I peeked through the vent slots in the back, and no circuit boards could be seen. It has 2 mechanical timers, one timer for the oven/air fry functions and one timer for the toaster function. The construction quality seems decent, stainless finish doesn't have any dents, door opens smoothly, knobs feel smooth and sturdy, seems to heat up fairly quickly. Interior light is manually operated with a button, and light it is bright. I am concerned the bulb will burn out like so many other reviews mention, but right now it seems to work fine. There is no instructions on bulb replacement in the manual. To the reviewers who say the toast function does not work, try this: the toast function on my brand new unit didn't function until I noticed that the temperature knob must be turned fully clockwise to 450 deg F for TOAST/BROIL. It has a mark on the temperature dial at 450 Deg F for "TOAST/BROIL", but it is easily overlooked. To use Toast: Set mode knob to TOAST (5 o'clock on the mode knob). Set temperature to max 450 Deg F TOAST (3 o'clock on the temperature knob). Set the right timer knob TOAST TIMER to the desired time ( light, med, dark, or 10 minutes max). Toaster works fine for me if I do the above steps. Hopefully it will keep working for years to come...time will tell. Read more
Loved this oven/air fryer, until I didn't. It worked really well, did everything perfectly, until we hit the 2-year mark and then the air fan started rattling. At the 3-year mark, right after the warranty expired, it just stopped working. Read more
Perfect size for four people serving. Can be a toaster oven as well. Use it in place of my oven. Exterior doesn't get hot like I feared. Interior trays are a bit difficult to clean but worth the effort. Read more
This thing is awesome. You can air fry, bake, toast. I love the air fry French fries. Frozen biscuits are excellent from this oven. Read more
I have never been more disappointed with a purchase. I thought because of the reviews this would be a good purchase. I did lots of research and Chefman was considered a superior product. I was a bit concerned when the internal light went out for good. I looked up online how to replace it... seemed like it would be an easy chore...but even all the DIY sites said this was a difficult bulb to replace because of how the manufacturer put the oven together. We were less than pleased with the "toasting" of the oven. The "medium" setting yielded just warm bread. the dark setting did little more. And I like dark toast. I overlooked that... Then today... the whole unit stopped working. I had put in some veggies for the air fryer. I opened the door to check them (because you can't see through the glass because the light is out) and when I closed the door: silence. The air fryer usually made a loud fan noise... but now... it was dead. I will never (and I advise you) buy a chefman oven again. Read more
I ordered this intending to use it in the camp trailer. but this has turned out to be the handiest tool in the kitchen! Great for a quick lunch or dinner...easy to use and the food tastes great. I love how it airfries frozen fish fillets....they taste as good as any restaurant serves, and better than most! Much more efficient and doesn't heat up the kitchen on these warm days like the oven does. Clean up is quick and easy. Very happy with this purchase. Read more
It's easy to use, convenient as far as size, but I never thought I would write a negative comment about a product., The toast cycle is practically nonexistent because if you try to toast a piece of bread on the light setting, the bread is just warmed up! Put it on medium or dark setting, the bread is only toasted on one side. Then I wanted to broil steak, the heating element on the top did not come, so my steak was baked! The baking selection doesn't seem to work as it should either. The redeeming quality is that the air fry works well, tho, however a little slow and not heating up very well either. I do like the size, tho; it fits my small countertop very well! If I still had the box, I would send it back to Chefman! Read more
