KitchenAid Digital Air Fry Countertop Oven, KCO124BM, Black Matte

Bought this in July and we have used it for everything--from drying herbs, toast, bagels, making biscuits in a cast iron frying pan, making Thanksgiving side dishes which we usually cook in the oven, air frying fish and fries, melting cheese for sandwiches, proofing, and convection. It came in so handy over Thanksgiving as the turkey cooked in the oven--we cooked many of the side dishes here. It cooks evenly and is very easy to set or reset. It's bigger inside than it looks--I cannot believe what we were able to fit inside. I bought it b/c my husband doesn't like a lot of digital gadgets and this one is so easy to use--even he can figure it out. :) It's easy to clean--you pull out the plate and it cleans up quickly. It pre-heats very quickly. Once it's pre-heated, it switches to keeping time. The dials allow you to change the cooking time. Dials for toasting allow you to choose the toast setting and the number of slices. My husband remarked that the air fryer option is much better than our air fryer and I would agree. In fact, you do not have to interrupt the cooking to flip the food. It cooks both sides evenly. There is a light that stays on during cooking so it's easy to see inside. I did a lot of research on these ovens and for the price and performance, you cannot beat the Kitchen Aid. One last comment: I read somewhere to stay away from models with dials on top. These dials are on the bottom and the fan is in the back. The top can get pretty hot so leave enough room on each side for air to flow. Only negative is cleaning crumbs is a pain to get in the small areas. Also, the unit does not turn off when you open the door. I highly recommend this unit.

This Kitchenaid model KCO128CU lives up to my expectations. There is ample room to cook a Cornish hen. It bakes evenly and is true to items packaging specified temperatures/baking times. The air fyer cooks the same. The unit has a light inside that I appreciate for keeping an eye out for level of doneness. It is very quiet and fits on my counter without taking up a wide space. Its very easy to clean. The fan on the back forces it to sit closer to the counter edge on the front but, remains a sufficient distance back. The unit is large enough inside to accommodate a 9x13 baking pan and the pizza stone is a plus. All being said and done, this unit is a keeper. I highly recommend it. I've purchased and returned 7 air fryer/toaster ovens that including Cuisinart, Oster, Chefman brands and none of them met my expectations. To be fair I purchased a Breville Mini Compact oven and had to return it because it was actually too small to cook a Cornish hen as advertised. The only reason I did not replace it with a larger one was because next size up was too large for a single person and my countertop and I would have had to, once again, pay shipping. (I'll paying closer attention to this on all future items before purchasing anything). The Oster did not cook even and burned the food long before the recommended time. I didn't decide to return it in time but, was able to sell it to a neighbor All of them were very loud to operate. The Cuisinart was just too small inside and very difficult to clean. The Chefman had no on/off button and there was no way to cancel without having to unplug the unit. It was extremely hot on the outside and the fan ran for 25min before cooling and turning off the unit. Very loud unit.

Better then expected, by far the best air fryer I've ever owned. Easy to operate

We bought this to replace an old toaster oven that stopped working. I have been using it close to six months. Below is a quick rundown of what I think: The Good 1) Full of features: bakes, toasts, air-fries, dehydrates, etc. 2) It has a pretty large range of temperatures (150-450) 3) It is, in my opinion, a good size 4) It has a drip tray to make cleaning easier 5) It has a light The Bad 1) Subjectively ,it is expensive 2) The top gets hot 3) It is a little loud when using the air-fry or convection mode 4) If the oven is on, the light is on Summary: I don't think that I have turned my oven on in the past six months--I use this almost everyday. If I were to bake a cake or brownies, then I would probably need to use the actual oven because this unit is too small for my pans, but I think that it could be done if I had different pans. I think we have used all of the functions at least once, and overall they seem to work fairly well. The "bad" things about this unit are overall, very minor. The most serious, for some, is that the top gets hot. I actually see this as a feature, and I place things on the top that I want to keep warm. I am most annoyed with the light--I wish I could turn it on and off. But let's face it, that is a very minor complaint. This unit was a little pricey, which is why I almost didn't buy it. However, given that I use it every day, I think I'm getting my money's worth. Recommendation: This unit is a little pricey, so if you are just looking for something to toast bread with, you could probably find a more affordable option that suites that purpose. However, I can highly recommend this device if you are looking for a feature packed oven that has a lot of functionality.

It looks quite nice and is made of solid materials. Good quality, though it can sometimes make a intermittent resonance sound when the convection fan is running. It could just be the wire shelf I have it on has one of the feet resting at a minute angle....though you'd expect the engineers to factor these use cases into consideration. Overall, It makes good toast and heats up quick, which is all I really needed. Air frying. I've been a hold-out on "air frying" all these years (I found the concept kinda silly, seeing as it's just a convection oven!), but when my last toaster oven died I figured "what the heck" and get a unit that does both toaster oven and air fry functions. It's alright! I've found, generally speaking, this oven requires 20 or so degrees higher than what common air fryer recipes dictate. Am I disappointed we live an economy where a small kitchen appliance costs $200? Totally. But I paid higher than the economy models (which I still think are overpriced!), because I hope to get many years of service out of this. Fingers crossed.

We live in a fifth wheel and our tiny gas oven had quit working so I researched a long time to find just the right countertop oven. I love this thing! It fits perfectly on our little counter space and has so many great features. I love that it fits a 9x13” pan and that I can bake in it WITHOUT convection but can use convection if I choose to since it is its own setting. So far I have baked cornbread and a birthday cake, roasted veggies in both the bake and broil mode, air-fried sweet potato fries, proofed sourdough starter, and made toast. Most recently I baked a loaf of sourdough bread. That was a bit tricky though because even placing it on the lowest shelf it was still too high. The loaf was rising all the way to the ceiling AND the heating elements started touching the bread as it rose. I ended up having to pull the rack out and put the pan on the very bottom. That did ultimately work though there were places on the loaf that had burn marks from touching the heating elements. But I figured out how to do bread for next time. So there is a bit of a learning curve for some things but all in all I’m super happy with this purchase and highly recommend it!

Recent appliances seem to be a hit or miss. So far this has held up exceptionally well in 1.5 years We have 6 people in the house and this is used at least half a dozen (avg) times a day It's surprisingly large and fits some of the store bought frozen pizza's. It heats up very quickly and gives a notification when the pre-heating is complete. We use it more than I thought for regular meals. It fits most items and is way more efficient than waiting for the 'big' oven to heat up. We actually have baked a half ham in there while our main oven was roasting a turkey. The convection oven works "ok" when attempting to crisp up chicken wings. Some of the features seem superfluous...like the toast option to select how many slices you're toasting.

I was so happy with my first KitchenAid Digital Countertop Oven that I purchased a second one. I had to discard my first one because of a fire in my apartment which had nothing to do with the countertop oven. I use it for toast and to broil and bake foods. I don't like air fried foods, so I don't use that particular feature. I haven't even used my new oven in my gas range yet. It is just so much easier to use this one and there's no bending to add or retrieve my food. I haven't used the pizza stone as yet but will give it a try soon. I've seen posts complaining that the oven gets too hot. Well, it's an oven and ovens do get hot. You just need to be sure to follow instructions about keeping so many inches distance from the back, sides and top of the oven to avoid any problems. If you're on the fence about purchasing this oven I say, go for it. I think you'll be as pleased as I am.

Hace tiempo, estaba buscando freidoras de aire aquí en Amazon. De repente, me aparece este horno que también tiene freidora de aire y al comparar los precios, me decidí a comprar este horno. En un mes que llevo utilizándolo a diario, les puedo decir que adoro mi compra. La freidora de aire funciona de maravilla al igual que las demás funciones. Como extra, tiene una opción para deshidratar alimentos, con la cual puedes hacer chips de diferentes frutas, como plátanos.

This is a perfect countertop oven. Works awesome.

Es el primer horno eléctrico que tengo (que no sea de los que solo tostan y que solo usas pa molletes o recalentar pizzas). En resumidas cuentas esta muy bueno y es bastante práctico, he hecho panque de plátano, muffins de platano, galletas, lomo, papás a la francesa y obviamente recalentado pizzas, hacer molletes xD. Rifa bastante. Lo unico que si puedo "quejarme" es que es un poco pequeño y si vas a hacer en gran cantidad ya sea pan u otro alimento tendrás que hornear mas de 1 vez o considerar muy bien el tamaño de los moldes. Yo no me animo a poner recipientes muy altos o hornear varias bandejas de galletas/pan porque queda muy cerca de las resistencias superiores. De ahí en fuera todo esta muy bien, mantiene bien las temperaturas, es fácil de limpiar (hice tremendo desmadre con el lomo y después de una limpieza rapida quedo como nuevo xD) y queda muy bonito en la cocina. Además viene bien equipado con bandeja, rejilla para hornear, rejilla para enfriar y la rejilla para el modo air fryer.

Très satisfait du produit, j’en avais déjà eu un précédemment et quand je me suis séparé de mon ancienne conjoint, j’en ai racheté un second depuis maintenant plus d’un an environ. Il fonctionne très bien.

El mejor hornito. Hace de todo. Súper práctico. El air fryer es lo máximo. En mejor 2 en 1. Ya que es hornito y air fryer. De verdad una maravilla. Yo estoy 100% feliz.
