    I just ordered this one from Kmart for $179. It's an Airfryer/Convection/Microwave. Seems like a bargain for $179. Good reviews too.

      It's nothing great and very annoying not being able to set the air fryer by temperature

        I have one and you can set the air fryer by temperature and time. It’s also does slow cooking and I use it mainly for that instead of dragging out a slow cooker. Great for slow cooking ribs and then using the grill to finish off. I’ve been able to get rid of my toaster and large slow cooker and use it most days so well worth the money.

  Looks like a nightmare to clean if you cant put it in the dishwasher. I like ones where you can remove the whole inner basket and just pop it in the washer.

  Just for everyone's information, just because a product has an "Air Fryer" function or even air fryer in the name, it doesn't really make it so.

  The only way to air fry something properly is to have a large, fast fan blowing hot air on 100% of one side of your food.

  This product, and probably the kmart one posted as well is basically a small fan forced oven with a faster/closer fan, but it doesn't face the food so you are relying on air circulation which is basically a fan forced oven…

    I have this, and I've had the previous non-airfryer model too.

    It does a decent job with the included basket. Not as good as a standalone airfryer (comparing this to an Instant Vortex Air Fryer) but the fan on the side is upgraded for airfrying and is pretty strong. That being said, the main purpose of this is a benchtop oven for me.

    Not really.. Just FYI the fans on this are on the side, forcing the air over and around the food ( here is a photo from the website). Its not the same as a mini fan forced oven. And the air flow is noticeably higher than a standard fan forced oven.

      Have you used a fan forced oven?

      Its literally the same thing but the fan is on the other side.

      Most modern fan forced ovens also have a turbo fan option.

      Once again, an air fryer is not about "air flow", its about air directly hitting the food, which the photo you posted directly proves my point that its impossible.

      The best you will get is 5-10% of those chips directly airfried, and the rest cooked via airflow, like a normal fan forced oven but perhaps with the turbo fan enabled.

        Have you used a fan forced oven?

        Yes, been using multiple fan forced ovens for over a decade. Our current one is a 900mm built in one with a high setting for the fan, the air flow of this toaster oven is noticeably stronger than the max fan setting of our built in.

        But have you used a toaster oven air fryer like this to say it doesn't work ??

        Its literally the same thing but the fan is on the other side.

        With that logic you could argue all air fryers are fan forced ovens, after all they all have a heating element and a fan :).

        Once again, an air fryer is not about "air flow", its about air directly hitting the food, which the photo you posted directly proves my point that its impossible.

        Don't know what you think the air is not hitting the food, because the fan is directly blowing air from one side on to the mesh basket containing the food.

        The best you will get is 5-10% of those chips directly airfried, and the rest cooked via airflow, like a normal fan forced oven but perhaps with the turbo fan enabled.

        This breville oven is air frying chips better than my 8~10 year old Philips Air fryer ever did… I have only compared the two I owned, I’m sure there are better air fryers out there than this breville, but that is not to say this is a glorified fan forced mini oven that doesn’t work. Here is a comparison review I found. They also agree its a very good air fryer. There are plenty of good reviews for this oven.

        Having used one for a year (and also owning a smaller older traditional air fryer before this), I find this better and more useful. And if this breaks I will definitely get another toaster oven type air fryer and not a basket type one.

  Just get the cheap woolies air fryer for like $34 (when on special)then you can put the whole basket in the dishwasher. When it breaks just buy another cheap one. Have a similar Kmart toaster oven but their terrible to clean

  Wouldn't you be better off buying a convection microwave? Much larger and easier to clean. Might be more expensive though.

  • 

    Joku on 22/06/2023 - 12:38

    The convection feature in convection microwaves is typically much worse than it is in these so no not really.

    These are pretty good if you have one of the larger size built-in or free standing oven, because those things are so crap at heating up and so crap at cooking evenly, on top of manual turn off and analog temp being more painful and less consistent.

    There is little to no justification when you have one (or two) of the smaller sized built-in or free standing ovens.

    These are also rather chunky though. So by far the best use case is when you have a large size built-in or free standing oven, AND you have a Butler's pantry to fit one of these things.

  Had one of these for over a year. There is no microwave function. This is a conventional toaster oven with an Air fryer.

  IMHO this is a lot better than a typical old air fryers with a basket, because we had one of those before getting this. Air fried food in this is crispier, and you can cook more because its larger (at least compared to the Philips we had before which is like 8 years old).

  This also doubles as a mini oven, and works better than a conventional oven when you can fit your dish. The small size and lower wattage means this is a lot more efficient if you are cooking a small dish, and the fact you can turn on the air frying feature at the end of a traditional bake means you can add extra bit of crunchiness to your dish. We actually use this more as a regular mini oven than an air fryer.

  Finally, the toaster function works better than a dedicated toaster as well, because the bread slices are evenly toasted and much crunchier due to the fan forcing the moisture out.

  As an air fryer, mini oven and a toaster this IMHO works better than dedicated counterparts, therefore well worth $350 if you can get it at that price.

    The only thing I'd strongly disagree with here is the suggestion that its better at toasting than a dedicated toaster. I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion because these things are actually quite terrible at toasting "normal" slices of bread. They cook through a bit too deep for thin bread. So it's definitely worth still having a dedicated thin sliced bread toaster if you kitchen isn't tiny, even just a cheap 2slice toaster, and then this type of mini oven is great for toasting anything thicker.

      Maybe it depends on how we store and toast our bread; we keep our bread in the freezer (which BTW is the recommended way to keep bread fresh for longer). When frozen bread is used with the regular toaster they usually end up with a fair bit of moisture, but toaster oven makes them dry and crisp. But having said that, we still use a regular popup toaster quite a lot for quick toasts in a rush, but use the toaster oven on the weekends when we want to enjoy our toasts.

      This is not a direct comparison as the Breville oven tested is the app connected "Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro" which I don't believe is available in Aus, but most likely pretty close in specs to the one in the OP.

      FYI - Breville purchased "ChefSteps" the development kitchen and makers of the Joule immersion circulators (i.e. sous vide cooking) and the Joule oven is their first/only joint project to date.

      Also, the creator of the video linked above is Chris Young, who was the CEO of ChefSteps prior to Breville's acquisition.

  Have this and the air fryer option has shat itself. It would take ages to heat up/pre-heat then get going. Read the comments above and go with a bang for buck airfryer instead.
