Bella - Pro Series 6-Slice Toaster Oven Air Fryer - Stainless Steel

I have a pretty decent oil leak on the right front leg area. I would love to know what I can do about this. I cooked chicken thighs and love the oven minus this oil leak as I feel this has to be a manufacturer defect. I’m curious if anyone else has had this issue so far and if there is a fix. Otherwise, the toaster oven was great for the $59.99 deal!

I bought it yesterday and I’m very disappointed that the first function I tried this morning (toast) did not work well. The back toasted more than the front. Then I tried bagel option. Same thing. Uneven. It’s not horribly uneven but it is. I haven’t tried other options yet so giving 3 stars for benefit of a doubt. Reading all the other reviews, I wonder if the unit is defected. It would be helpful if manufacturer could reach out and figure out if that’s the design or defect.

My wife and I love this oven. Some reviewers thought it was too loud, but I don’t find that to be true. We didn’t buy it for the air fry and haven’t tried that out, so I can’t comment on that feature. I love that this oven actually preheats and beeps when it is up to temperature. Figuring out the settings and how to manipulate them took 5 minutes. After that, everything made sense. The knobs for temperature and time are smooth easy to settle on your desired settings, once you get used to them. The only downside, and this isn’t that much of a downside, is that for “BAKE”, the default is convection mode, i.e., the convection fan is used by default. You can hit a button to disable that, but it is on by default. My first one or two experiences were such that the items were overcooked. We figured that out right away. The manual says to reduce the temperature by 25 degrees, but even then, the cooking time needs to be reduced. The net effect though is reduced cooking time and saving electricity, so I never feel the need to disable the convection fan. Anyway, we bought this via the Best Buy deal of the day. It is a GREAT value, and happens to be on sale today via the BB Deal of the Day! I highly recommend buying this, especially when on sale. The discount is unbelievable. I almost want to buy a second one (on sale) to replace this one when it ultimately wears out.

This is my 'other' air fryer. I use this as my secondary unit since I found myself needing a second one to time it out so my chicken would be done in one and the french fries in another. Regardless of what you see on TV when you see demonstrations for air fryers: you can't put fries in with chicken or vegetables etc since they both need to air fry at different temps and durations. If this is on-sale - get it. The main difference between this one and my other (also reviewed on BB) is this one pre-heats before air frying so there's an unknown delay before it starts air-frying stuff and that's unfortunate. I haven't tried the dehydration feature - I only use the air fry and toast feature! Mind you the toast doesn't evenly toast but it's good enough to have put my dedicated toaster in the attic. I use my other air fryer for bacon while this one is toasting to have the bacon, toast and eggs (on the stove) all come 'done' at the same time. I delay posting reviews until I've had the item for a while and I've had this for just about a year.

Plus is price. And it works well enough; has a lot of features and looks decent on the counter top. Minuses are numerous. The oven cavity is smaller than the one I replaced, even though the exterior is bigger. I also hate, hate, hate, that it insists on using the convection function. You have to deselect it after pushing start, every time. Even for toast (?!?) It's also pretty loud. There is fan that runs continuously during operation. It cannot be turned off. That itself is somewhat loud. Then, if you also choose the convection option, either this continuous fan, or another fan, kicks into high gear and is --very-- loud. Finally, it heats fairly unevenly, front-to-back. But then, in my experience, most toaster ovens do.

This is a great oven. Does toast and bagels at half the time of a regular toaster. We were excited to use the air fryer and the first time we did, we were impressed. It did bacon in 8 min with minimal grease in the tray and it came out perfect. I tried an 8 ounce sirloin steak and had to do it at 5 mins more than the booklet said but it came out perfect. My only glitch is that after doing both of the above items, the drip pan got completely stained and I can’t get the stains out. Used steel wool and it only took out some of the stains. Also, the other writers stated that the house got smokey and yes, mine did. For the money, this is a fantastic machine and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again. If your looking to air fry everything you cook, I might lean towards a traditional, stand alone fryer.

I have never used an air fryer before this purchase, it is Awesome! This oven has a large capacity for air frying. It also is a toaster & regular oven. The toaster works better than my free standing toaster. I was able to get rid of my toaster oven & toaster since this does it all. Only thing negative is the outside gets very hot while in use, Keep out of reach from kids!

We purchased the Bella to replace a round air fryer we had been using for the last 6 months or so. The main reason for our purchase was to get additional space and the 3 included racks fit the bill. The unit is a little noisy as mentioned in other reviews but not terrible. My main complaint is that the housing gets very hot so keep away from children and be careful not to place it near anything remotely combustible. Outside of that we like the variety of cooking options it offers. Its also a really nice looking piece of equipment.
