Oster Compact Countertop Oven With Air Fryer

Es un horno pequeño solo sera para cosas personales, no trae mas que 1 rejilla cuando puedo poner 3 para horner algunas charolitas de galletas , si hace su labor como air frayer pero yo necesito algo mas grandesito y completo

This item has a nice clean look and fits perfectly in the space I have for it. And when in Turbo or Air Fry mode it’s dead silent – you have to put your ear next to it to determine that the fan is on. That’s the good news. At least I guess that’s good news, but I wonder how much air is actually being moved inside it.

The bad news: it’s seriously underpowered. I wondered why competing models boasted of their wattage while this Oster omitted any mention. The Turbo/Air Fryer fan (same speed in either mode, near as I can tell) is so wimpy that it can’t compensate for long preheat and cooking times. Expect the oven to take longer than you’d expect for pretty much any task.

An air fryer replacement? Forget it. The adjustable shelf doubles as the air fryer surface which means any food drippings land directly on the lower heating elements and burn onto them. I did remove the crumb tray (beneath the lower elements) to wrap it in foil, but in removing it I touched an adjacent trim piece that was so sharp that it slit my finger open. And forgetting the designed-in splatter, the air fryer feature seems to consist of inadequate broiler elements supplemented by an inadequate fan. If you’re looking for air fryer functionality, look elsewhere.

Finally, the included cooking tray is comically tiny – much smaller than the already small space available within the oven. So I bought a bigger tray + crisper basket combo to replace it and wring out a little extra performance. It didn’t help. Good money after bad.

This is one of those instances where you get what you pay for. I’d suggest you consider paying a little more, especially if you use your toaster oven often.

UPDATE 10/20/22 – I gave it away. I replaced it with a Hamilton Beach (ASIN B08C8H1PN2) with about the same compact footprint but with much more interior space, better racks and pans, more features and a lot more cooking power. It costs more than this Oster but is well worth considering if you use your countertop oven almost daily as I do, or if you want to be able to actually benefit from the air fryer capability.

UPDATE 11/11/22 – Revised from 2 stars to 1 star and made minor edits above. The person I gave the Oster to gave it away to someone else and is shopping for another one. He appreciated the gift even knowing I didn’t like it but from his perspective, it wasn’t worth keeping at a price of zero. If you look at my reviews I almost never give 1 star. I realize that many others are happy with it so your mileage may vary.

Práctico fácil de usar como freidora de aire no funcióna.

Got rid of toaster, this does it all, we air fry and toast mostly, would buy again

El producto cumple su función, sin embargo el material es muy delicado pues la repisa que recibe la grasa desde las segunda usada por la misma grasa caliente, se maltrato irreparablemente. Me parece que no es tan potente, sin embargo sólo es cuestión de dejar más tiempo el alimento.

This item looked good in the pictures and had a brand name known to me for better quality. The price point was also reasonable. Sad to say, I was disappointed with my first use. I should have checked for a light inside as being listed in the description. There is none and that makes it hard to see the progress of the cooking. The fact that it is necessary to turn the timing knob to 20 first and then scaling back for shorter time is inconvenient and difficult because the knobs do not turn easily. The oven also gets very hot outside while using and I know this is not necessary because I have another one that does not do this. Finally, the casserole I tried to bake took extra, extra time to bake and did not brown well. So, determine how you want to use this item before ordering as it does not work easliy for all applications.
