VAL CUCINA Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven Extra Large Countertop Convection Oven 10-in-1 Combo 6-Slice Toast Enamel

This appliance has left my microwave begging to be used because all of our favorite food just turns out better in this toaster oven! My kids are obsessed with chicken nuggets, burritos, and pizza. The geek out over the restaurant-worthy crunch they never had with just a microwave. Seriously...I may have to give away my microwave now. But here's the kicker – it's not just for the kiddos. I've discovered that it's a magician when it comes to fish, giving it flakiness that's just heavenly. And oh, the small batches of cookies! They come out golden, chewy, and absolutely irresistible. I have found myself using this way more than my large built in oven because it heats up so much faster! It is super easy it is to clean up. No more scrubbing and scraping – a quick wipe after you cook is all it needs. And let's talk about aesthetics – this oven is not just a kitchen appliance; it's a piece of art. It adds a touch of Italianesque sophistication and style to my kitchen that I absolutely adore. Way better than all the other toaster ovens that look like a stainelss steel box of sadness. From Air Fry to Toast, Bake, and even Slow Cook, it does it all I need it to do and more. Its a great functional size too, small enough to not rob you of all of your counter space but has family size capacity for larger dishes. I prefer to air fry in this over my air fryer because I don't have to shake the food if I put it in just right. This was a Prime Day splurg and I'm so glad I bought it! I haven't found any cons yet. I'm using the heck out of it so if I find any I'll be sure to update my review. Read more

Works perfectly. Takes a little time to figure out the controls. I love that there are not plastic components and love the all metal pieces. The blue pan/cookie sheet cleans very easily, even after many uses, almost like a non-stick type of surface. Heats up quickly and works as a oven, air fryer, convection oven, and more. Works good when you do not want to heat up a large full size oven. Have this on our kitchen counter and gets used weekly. Looks modern and cleans up easily. Came packaged well with no damage.

This VAL CUCINA Retro Style Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven was purchased to replace a DeLonghi toaster oven. We use our toaster oven a lot compared to other people - we brown sausages & hot dogs, re-heat left-over pizza, etc., so our unit gets a good workout during the week. We were not able to find a comparable DeLonghi oven to suit our needs, so decided to try this Val Cucina unit, a brand we were unfamiliar with. The Val Cucina Toaster Oven is also an air fryer. To be honest, we had an air fryer in the past, didn't like it, and after half dozen uses, we donated it in nearly new condition to Goodwill. That had been our experience with air frying until the Val Cucina. The Val Cucina unit does an excellent job in air frying french fries & tater tots, fried chicken & such, as well as re-heating left-overs the next day that you want crispy, not soggy. The unit comes with three "racks": a typical wire rack, a broiler type pan rack, and a wire-mesh air fryer basket. All three slide in and out easily and are easy to clean by hand or in a dishwasher. The unit has a variety of cook settings: Air Fry, Toast, Bake, Broil, Roast, Pizza, Reheat, Warm, Slow Cook and Dehygrate. There are two good size knobs on the right - Select & Function. The Function knob selects the cook settings. The Select knob is used to set temperature & time. The four buttons control Temp/Time (and C/F); Start/Pause/Off; Light On/Off; and Convection On/Off. The LED display is large & very easy to read. When you open the door, the cooking pauses, and automatically restarts upon closing the door - a very nice feature! We've had the unit now for a few weeks, and use it daily; thus far, it works just fine. The quality of materials seems to be very good. The cream finish on our unit is beautiful and works well with our kitchen. The unit is packaged very well by the manufacturer for the rigors of shipping, and arrived safe and sound. The printed manual that comes with it is written in English and very good in explaining all of the features of the unit. Overall, we are extremely happy with the Val Cucina oven and recommend it highly! Read more
