Nuwave Bravo Air Fryer Toaster Smart Oven, 10-in-1 Countertop Convection, 1800 Watts, 21-Qt Capacity, 50°-450°F Temp Controls, Top and Bottom Heater Adjustments 0%-100%, PFAS Free, Stainless Steel

We bought this for our son's first apartment and he loves it. He didn't think he'd like a combo convection oven/air fryer because he was used to using the basket kind of air fryer. He's now a huge fan of the all-in-one oven. This heats evenly and air fries quickly. It's the perfect size and is high quality. Cook time is quick. It's a normal size, not oversized. Great in a small space.

The only problem I had was with the probe, it seems to be reading the temp of the air instead of just the meat. I mean I stuck it in pretty deep, maybe it's only intended for turkeys and thick roasts? Im not sure. But when I put it in a steak for example it doesent work right. No biggie I just got myself a meat thermometer which I needed anyway. I'll just use the probe for birds and thick roasts, I'm pretty good at cooking anyway so it's not like that's the sole reason I bought it.As for the good it's everything. Everything is good. I'm actually cooking ribs right now. It's amazing and u really can make anything so long as it physically fits inside the oven. Cleaning is easy. Although I will say this if ur expecting an air fryer this is more of an oven. It does have an air fry setting that works VERY well and a basket but again it's an oven it's not like the smaller air fryer where it feels like ur actually deep frying something and pull the basket up. If that's what u want get a ninja but I promise u this is better because it basically replaces like 4 appliances including ur oven.This is more for smaller families and couples. If I had more than 5 people in my family that I had to cook for every night I wouldn't use it. But because it's just me, my grandpa and my dog it's fantastic.I'm training to be a chef and have experience in the industry for over a decade so just let me say that from a professional standpoint this thing really is just the best I've seen out there as far as home appliances go and I actually wouldn't mind having one in my restuarant.My favorite thing that I've made thus far has to be the ribs that I'm making tonight. This is my second time and the first time I cooked them in an hour on 400 and they came out perfect. Super tender AND juicy. I'm talking fork tender.I honestly spend way less time cooking on the stove now. I mainly just use the stove for side dishes and breakfast eggs or oatmeal.U truly haven't lived until you've roasted a few rib eye steaks on this baby. I pretty much roast or bake red potatoes and mushrooms every night with my dinner.If ur like me and want to save money on calories by eating at home this is the answer. U can trust this baby to handle ur recipes while u watch TV or work out. If u do use the probe correctly the cool thing about it is it will actually turn the oven off when it hits ur desired temp, so u can trust the oven within reason not to burn ur kitchen to the ground if ur momentarily distracted. Though as a chef I must add that I always recommend caution and safety, I'm just saying this oven is a smart oven and I do think it's a bit under rated. This device should be way more popular. Maybe it's the name that's prevented it from catching on?I'm truly surprised Bravo hasn't become a verb by this point. It's weird to me that this oven is already a couple of years old. Unless it breaks down in a few months I can't possibly see myself being dissatisfied.

I love this oven - mainly because of its flexibility and high temperature (to 500 degrees). Over 450 allows only the broil mode (top elements) to work, however. It heats quickly and sounds/looks good (I like the fan sound) with an appealing blue display. Many cook modes and adjustable racks. It's only slightly larger than my old oven yet accommodates larger pans and cook area. I almost never use my full-size convection oven these days.However there are things I do not like and might have caused me to return it if it didn't cook so well. First, the settings/control knob are cumbersome. The way in which you "dial" the cooking mode then press the dial to enter that mode and then have to press another button to switch between time/temp make little sense to me. I'm always accidentally turning it off when I think I'm engaging a cook mode. The power button is on the bottom right and the cook mode selector is on the top of the same cluster, then the rotating knob in the center...it seems over-engineered. I had to read the manual several times to program the default settings so I could not only figure this out but set the time to show minutes and seconds over the default minutes only. There are many configuration setting which I like, again, contributing to me keeping it because I can set it for my needs. The interior light is awesome, too.The custom heating modes are the best I have seen. You can program (per use - simply and with one button) the top/bottom element heating ratio. The default is 50/50 for baking. You can infinitely change from 100% top to 100% bottom heating. I love that. Combine that with adjustable racks and you can really fine-tune how the cooking is regulated. Fantastic! You can set defaults for this, as well as default temp (when you first turn it on the baking default temp is 360). You can set a default for preheat before the timer kicks in or not. It's really feature-laden for this stuff and if you make certain foods all the time that have specific temps/settings it's awesome. Do other ovens do this? I don't know but I haven't seen any that do.The adjustable racks are great but I bought it with a searing tray (it's very heavy which is great), but there was no baking tray with it. What? I got a air-fry basket but no baking tray. The manual shows baking cookies and things on the tray but they don't include it. I was going to return the whole thing because of that alone, but when I called the manufacturer about this omission they said you can purchase the tray separately for around $47 + $11 shipping. For an aluminum cooking tray that is non-standard? I was teed but then the offered it at no charge (I still had to pay shipping). Fine. But I've never seen a small oven NOT include one. Absurd. They also have a cooking/baking accessory kit for $89 + shipping that includes the tray. No thanks...I spent enough on this thing already. The tray arrived in a few days and is perfect - maybe worth $15. Customer service was very nice, however.I did not want a dorky-looking top-load air fryer, so this conventional looking (basically) convection oven does the trick for me. I've had some splattering with the high temps and cleaning is a pain (when isn't it?), but that's on me, not the product nor its design.Overall I'm very pleased. After all the nonsense and setup this thing works fast and well. I have only used some of the cooking modes but like what I've seen. There is a little learning curve and setup time, but it's worth it in the end. The only reason I knocked off a star is the cumbersome control setup and the lack of a baking tray. They mentioned to me that there are variants that don't include the grill/griddle but do include the baking tray, so pay attention to that. One other thing is that the print markings around the POWER button are already fading off after only two months of average (not daily) use. I paid around $149 on Amazon and it was worth every penny, especially compared to units that don't heat as high or have the flexible settings/cooking modes/adjustable racks and a very pleasing overall appearance and a useful interior light.

To replace a basic KitchenAid toaster oven, I searched countless "best of" lists, and store, Amazon and brand websites. My counter space is limited to no larger than 18" wide, 15" high and 15" deep. Even though I have a great stand-alone air fryer, I realized that a new unit would include at least air frying and convection functions. In addition to KitchenAid, I also looked at models made: by Breville, Toshiba, Black & Decker, GE, Cosori, Balmuda, Sharp, Panasonic, Cuisinart, and Hamilton Beach. Most models were too large, and too complicated, while some had too many numerous negative reviews not to be alarmed. Although I wasn't familiar with NuWave, I found that this Bravo Air Fryer Bravo Pro Oven had a clean chrome look, and all of the features that I wanted, and more, including timing from 1 minute to three hours, auto turn off, and 1800 watts. The toasted bagels and waffles, convection and air frying functions I've tried so far have turned out perfectly. I intend to try some of the recipes in the booklet as the food in the photos looks yummy and the recipes easy. This NuWave Bravo Oven offers a lot of value for the money and I will look at purchasing other of their products in the future.
