OsterExtra-Large French Door Air Fryer Countertop Oven Stainless Steel 60-Min Timer 6 Cooking Functions Versatile Accessories Reduces Energy and Cooking Time

First, it's an oven. It's going to get hot. They all will. I mean no disrespect to other reviewers but - duh! Second, I struggled with whether to buy one with the double doors. That's a win too. This is my third countertop oven in 24 years. I find that the smaller double doors take up less space than the one door that pulls down so for me it's more convenient. I have roasted chicken and other meats, vegetables, pies and other desserts. Basically, anything you can do in your large oven you can do in this thing. Just remember, as with all countertop ovens you will need to adjust the temperature down just a bit because of the distance between your dish and the elements. Many reviewers complain about all these ovens burning food. I promise. It's not the temperature control. It's the heating element's proximity to your dish. Just reduce your temp 25 degrees and you'll be fine. Now, the size. Just a few more inches has given me the ability to cook way more items than with my old countertop oven which is why I bought it. This is not a true air fryer but the fan is sufficiently strong to get pretty darn close. I do have two complaints. 1. I wish the fan was a little stronger. 2. I wish it came with two baking racks. Last, it also works great just as a low heat warmer. All things considered it still deserves five stars since I don't have a 4 1/2 star option.TIP: Put a cooling rack on top of your oven if you are making more than one thing. It makes a great place to keep items warm without burning them if you use a rack to avoid direct contact with the oven.

They used to sell these at Walmart, and i bought one years ago, for my semi truck. I loved it so much, because it has the baking power of a regular oven, but is small enough to fit in a truck, AND, the way it was designed... the outside of the oven never gets too hot, only the back gets a bit hotter, but not even that much, that always amazed me! It's simply a great product... and as all great products, they get sold for a while and then disappear forever. And also, they love to get rid of the good stuff, and leave just the trash for sale, they LOOOOOOVE to sell trash at Walmart! If they see something is a good product, they will get RID of it!!!!

I looked at the manufacturer's plate on my Sharp convection oven, microwave: wow, said Made in 1993! Guess I got my money's worth on that.Anyway, I put a LOT of time into research on which convection oven would replace my Sharp. Based on reviews and starts I bought this Oster. What a great machine. Things I like about it:- Cooks food FASTER than conventional oven. My baseline is how fast it cooks my frozen or thawed pizzas. This cooks a pizza as fast or faster than my Sharp convection.- Oster put a convex indentation on the back wall of the oven, this so round pizza trays fit nicely. Most ovens don't have that. +++ in my book.- The French "suicide" doors are cool. I don't think those have any practical function, but they look and operate cool.- Small footprint is nice. Looks like a large microwave oven.- Oster made sure to maximize the oven space. Can probably roast a 20 lb turkey inside. My 13" pizza tray baking pan fits with 3" to spare!- This oven is attractive. Makes you look like you know what you're doing in the kitchen. The large top to bottom door handles, dial controls, glass doors, all metal construction all adds to its professional look.- Warning: there's no light inside. There's no thermometer! Not sure why they didn't put a light inside. The lack of digital controls, including a thermometer IMO adds to its classic 1950s look and charm (if that's a look you like).Tip: there are ovens similar that have digital panels and work with electronic controls. Despite this, I opted for the Oster, mainly because of its oven size inside (quite large), and I love those French doors.- Performance is a plus plus plus. I have baked pizzas and made toast in the morning. Heating is even, toast is evenly toasted. On turbo mode the benefits of convection cooking is realized.Side Note: "convection cooking" is a fancy way of saying this oven has a fan inside. The fan blows air around the oven cavity. This speeds up cooking and distributes heat evenly.- Energy savings: These small countertop ovens use less gas or electricity than your range oven. In these days of conservation that's a big plus, in your back account.Bottom Line: Once you use a countertop convection oven you will never go back to using a full-size stove oven. And these are far better using day to day. No stooping. No lifting hot and heavy pans from a low shelf in the range oven. Cooking is more precise. You can easily keep an eye on things baking in the oven.Best of all, you can't beat the appearance of oven baked foods. Everything has a nice golden brown look. Everything looks yummy, unless you burned whatever you are baking. If you do that, take the pain.Bonus Tip: Buy a mechanical thermometer to keep placed inside the oven, e.g., the kind that hooks on a rack. For lighting, keep a flashlight near. I have a small LED flashlight that has a magnetic base on the opposite end. I stick that to the fridge and aim the beam inside the oven. End of lighting problem! Not the most attractive solution, but it works for me.

This countertop oven works very well.It is not quite as efficient as the smaller, completely enclosed air fryers.But, for my needs, it works very well.I wanted a 110v oven, to replace my conventional oven.The conventional oven uses much more electricity, at 220v, and it requires a little bit of time to pre-heat.The smaller countertop oven reaches the desired temperature in a few seconds, virtually eliminating the need to pre-heat.But, it only came with one air frying grate, and one normal grill grate.I purchased 2 more after market grates, and 3 after market low-profile air fryer baskets.Now, I can prepare 3 different layers of air fried foods, all separated on their own shelves.For example, I can prepare enough chicken nuggets on one tray, french fries on another tray, and roasted broccoli on the third tray, all at the same time.I was able to find extra grill grates that fit this oven like a glove: ASIN: B0CRY63F1KAnd, the low-profile air fryer baskets that I purchased: ASIN: B0CCXZK3LCI did give this oven 4 stars, but only because it is not quite as efficient as the better sealed, smaller basket style air fryers.And, at high temperatures, I did experience a little bit of smoke leaking out of the doors.Other than that, I am very happy with this unit.I also chose this unit because I wanted less electronics, with dials, rather than push buttons.This is very easy to operate, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a larger, multi-purpose air fryer / oven.
