Calphalon Precision Air Fry Convection Oven, Countertop Toaster Oven - Black

As an air fryer, it was good. It was fairly easy to use, cooked well and (on sale) it was a good value. A couple of major cons for me is that you have to hit start, after it finishes preheating. It’s annoying. Lastly, my LCD screen was jacked up. Check out he photo. For these two reasons, I returned it and bought a different brand.

This is a beautiful little oven and I am so glad I gifted it to myself! Like others say, footprint of it is not too big. I was able to use a small section of countertop next to my stove, and this doesn’t take up much more space than the regular toaster oven it replaces. I’ve only had it a couple of days, but here are some initial thoughts on it. QUIET: omg you can’t even hear it running even with turbo. Wish it had a light, but that wasn’t a deal breaker. I have not been using preheat for toast, since my toast can actually get done the way I like it by simply putting it in during the preheat cycle. On turbo, this thing reheated leftover pizza slices to perfection in 4 minutes. It was even better than when we picked up the pizza in the first place. For this reason, I pretty much ate an entire large pizza in a day’s time...it was that good. Crispy, toasty perfection. The bottom got crispy even though it was on a pan. Now, wings. Maybe I didn’t think this one through all the way. I was only able to fit 9 wings in the air fry basket (single layer, spaced apart) since I wanted to ensure that any drippings went into the pan below. Well, that’s only 9, and you can’t do a 2nd batch until you clean fryer basket, rack, and pan or you’re gonna smoke up the house. In addition, when I wanted to rearrange or check the wings during cooking I felt like I needed to pull out both rack/pan underneath and the basket together to keep from making a mess with drippings. Plus it saved absolutely no time over what I’m used to doing...either 45 minutes in oven or Instant Pot the wings first then broil. My wings were not even cold and it still took over 50 minutes on 400/air fry. So any wings cooked in this baby will be on a regular pan and not in the basket. I will not be using the basket for anything that may drip. The inside is a straightforward design and the interior finish seems like it will be easy to clean. The controls are very simple to get the hang of and very user-friendly. Overall I think I will be extremely pleased with this oven. I can’t speak for longevity of it, etc. but it does seem like a well made appliance. I would not hesitate to buy it again if I needed a second one or as a gift.

What a big difference from the last air fryer I had. Easy to operate, Glad I made this purchase and the price was right. Other stores had the item for $60+ more.

This was purchased to replace a standard toaster. I wanted the toaster oven and small scale baking capabilities, and didn't care about the air frying at all. In a world of combination products now though, it was pretty hard to find a stand-alone toaster oven so I purchased this. For toast, I give it 5 stars. I don't eat many prepared foods but I have kids, so chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks etc, this does a mind blowing job; better than the wall oven. Not only that but the kids can do a lot of things themselves. Now since it claims to be an air fryer, I did make a batch of fried chicken. I was less than impressed. I looked over many online recipes to use the proper air fryer technique and it still wasn't to my liking. Too dark, too dry and some pieces under cooked. It also made a fair amount of smoke in the kitchen so that was disappointing. Cleaning this is easy' there is a tray inside that catches grease and debris that comes right out and the front you can just clean with glass cleaner once it is cool. It looks nice, is easy to use, and does a great job with most stuff. If I had bought it looking for an air fryer I would be disappointed but since I just wanted a toaster, I couldn't be happier.

This product works how I expected it to. Having fun learning how to use the air fryer option with all different types of food. I would totally recommend for those who don't use their oven much. Size fits a number of my cooking pans, if not using what came with the the oven. Totally a BIG plus. Looking forward to using all the different option in the near future.

This little oven is amazing. It has air fryer, bake, broil, convection, toast, defrost...its an all in one. The air fryer is amazing for crispy fries and tots. When baking cookies and other items it's perfect heat doesn't burn. Comes with pan and air fryer basket. Store bought(Digorno) pizzas fit perfectly on the rack and cook just right.This was the perfect edition to my kitchenette and replacement for full size oven. It notifies you when oven is preheated.

I'm going to start by saying I Love this! This could practically replace my large oven and has replaced my toaster. I'm still new to air frying and the reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because it's louder than the traditional basket air fryer and takes a little longer. Is that a deal breaker? hec no; crank up the music and let your fish sticks or bacon sizzle..... I haven't actually cooked raw meat in it yet, other than bacon, but it will happen. I named her Genie

Do not regret this purchase AT ALL. The air fryer feature is the main reason we purchased, and it works great. The food comes out crispy and perfectly cooked every time. The oven and toaster features are a huge bonus and very convenient. The unit is large so be sure you have counter space available, but the size is great for small baking projects or side dishes for a meal, as well as making bread for dinner. Highly recommended!
