Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven, Extra Large Countertop Convection Oven 10-in-1 Combo, 6-Slice Toast, Enamel Baking Pan Easy Clean with Recipe Book, Brushed Stainless Steel Finish

I recently upgraded my kitchen with the VAL CUCINA Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven. Usually, I don’t leave a review for the product but this time, I would like to share my impression and the experience I had so far. Amazon has a bundled option which is coming with the cutting board. While I reviewed the details of the cutting board, I decided to purchase it for both the oven and the cutting board.First of all, the cutting board is not only for its primary function. On top of it, its heat resistant material should protect the cabinets from the damage. I have put it on top of the oven for that reason. Also, the material itself looks non-slippery and heat resistant that prevent from scratching and sliding during food preparation. If I buy this cutting board separately, it’s another $40.00. Absolutely great deal!For the oven, my first impression was that it looks stylish and sleek modern yet also looks very durable. Its stainless-steel finish makes the product looks very sleek & modern and easy to clean. Also, it fits perfectly on my countertop without taking up too much space, yet it’s spacious enough inside to handle the size for my family. The product title at Amazon already mentioned that 10-in-1 countertop oven. It has multiple cooking functions – clearly more than bake/toast/broil.. it has a specific toast and options for how many slices. It was quite impressive! As it’s a convection oven with infrared technology, it enables the even cooking. That is very nice!My previous countertop oven had a analog controller, whereas this product has all digital controller and two dials (one is for selection and the other is for the functional choices). I initially thought that I need some time to get used to. Actually it doesn’t require it, as its navigation and user experience looks quite simple and intuitive. Control panel has a clear options displayed and has some beeping to remind where I am at. Both visual and audio experience guide me use the oven without any issue. Also, I like the pre-set cooking modes that make it easy to whip up meals without guessing about time and temperature settings. It’s easy to use.As of now, I used it for ‘air fry’, ‘bake’, ‘broil’ and ‘toast’. It works really well as I expected. Very fast and even cooking. Very crispy and even when I used the ‘toast’ function. It has the options to choose for ‘light’ vs. ‘dark’… and how many ‘slices’ of toast. So good!I am going to do the slow cook this weekend that I am going to make beef stew for two people. Looking forward to it!

I was nervous about buying a cream color appliance. I had a different brand but the exact same setup but stainless steel. It looked so dark in the corner...so happy I chose to get the lighter version. I was not familiar with the brand but it's wonderful! Matches the cream in the granite and think it really steps up the look of the kitchen! Also I think worth mentioning... I have had the doors that open outward, and I would never get one of those again! I burnt myself so many times with it, snapping shut on my hand while getting something out. I would only buy this version from now on.Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like that, it has all the capabilities.In the air fry, less appliances to maintain and to have out/pull out on the counter.

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!
