Deco ChefXL 12.7 QT Oil Free Air Fryer Multi-Function High Capacity Countertop Convection Oven, Toaster, Rotisserie All-in-One Healthy Kitchen Oven Instructional Cook Book Included, Black

I was in the market for a toaster oven when I came across this machine. I haven’t had it very long but I have tried out the toaster oven part, the baker and the air fryer. So far so good! All seems to work well. It’s quite a bit bigger than I expected - my fault - I should have read the specs more carefully. I had the change my whole kitchen around so that it would fit under a hanging cupboard and I still keep going to the wrong place to get a coffee mug!

My oven stopped working around the time that I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. So I was looking for something for me...and only me. I stumbled upon this gem.I appreciate the user-friendly controls and the clear digital display. The intuitive interface makes it easy to select the desired cooking mode, temperature, and timer settings. The inclusion of an interior light is a thoughtful touch, allowing me to monitor the cooking progress without opening the oven door and losing heat. I am THAT person, who opens the oven door...It's a time-saving marvel, allowing me to whip up meals with efficiency and precision. The multiple cooking functions, including baking, broiling, toasting, and air frying, make it a versatile all-in-one solution for a busy kitchen.The versatility of this toaster oven is further enhanced by the built-in air fryer function, which delivers crispy and delicious results without the need for excessive oil. This feature alone has made my meals healthier and more flavorful. I use it for making toast, dehydrating, baking cookies... anything a standard oven would be used for, just in smaller portions.It's built to last and withstand the rigors of daily cooking, making it a reliable addition to any kitchen setup.

On & Off switch is not functional right.

I really wish I did not throw the box out b4 trying this air fryer out. I love airfryers and they usually last me about 2 years because I do use it ALOT, so this is my third and by far the absolute WORST! Does not work well, takes forever to actually cook anything. Looks wise it is cute but I feel like I have thrown money in the trash because it does not work well. Very disappointed.

works great.

I received my Air Fryer on the 20th of October. I haven’t used it because I have been trying to burn off the chemical smell. It’s a horrible odor I didn’t want the odor to be cooked into the food, (SPECIAL NOTE: It took approximately 7 days running 30 min-3x a day to burn off the chemical smell to my satisfaction). Anyway, I have read through the instructions a couple of times. I admit to being confused by the functions. I think I’ll be able to work through that, trial by error. What I’d like to know is can I use aluminum pans? I know it says not to line pans with aluminum foil when using the air fryer function. I want to use the pans when baking. I haven ‘t been able to get an answer to that question. For that reason alone I’m really not happy with this product. Not to mention one of the most common sizes of aluminum pans doesn’t fit in the oven. Yeah, I know, nit picking but it’s an important issue to me.UPDATE: I have used the Air Fryer several times since my purchase. It took a fair amount of time for the smell of chemical to burn off. As for the actual cooking it’s challenging. There’s definitely a learning curve. When using the air fryer I’ve over cooked items a few times. Like I said there’s a definite learning curve involved. I still think the instructions could be refined a lot. For instance, when cooking a steak does it have to be baked? It’s still confusing to figure out. I was under the impression when using the air fryer function one uses the rack or basket. Is it not possible to air fry steak? I guess it’s going to take a longer than I figured to become proficient using this appliance. I’m not sure I could recommend it for purchase, at least, not at this time.Update to the update. I don’t know about others but I like to have extra accessories for any appliances I purchase. A serious drawback is they don’t make the individual air basket or wire rack available for stand alone purchasing. Unfortunately the interior of the stove is small so it can’t accommodate other wire racks or baskets.LAST UPDATE: As of 1:50 pm 3 Dec 2021 my Deco Chef Air Fryer died. It no longer heats. The coils are history. I’ll not be buying another Deco Chef. I’ll be looking for something with better staying power. I bought this air fryer in 20 Oct 2020. It lasted 13 months. There has to be better built air fryers.SURPRISE: Yep, I intended up giving the Deco another chance and reordered one as a replacement. That was a really bad call on my part. I received it on the 8th of Dec. 2021. I just ordered another Air Fryer, NOT the Deco Chef. I’m replacing the replacement because something is frying in the fryer and it’s not food. It has the constant smell of wires or something electrical burning. When plugged in I feel like I have to be watchful because an electrical fire can happen at anytime. The only time it doesn’t smell as if something is burning is when it’s unplugged. This fryer lasted less than 6 months, I’m moving on. I DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT RECOMMEND this fryer! First buy shame on them, second buy shame on me. I like my house and feel as if it’s at risk with this particular piece of equipment.The new Air Fryer is expected to be delivered today. I really am hoping this turns out to be a love story with me living happily ever after.

I love it, it's a little complicated to get it started & on the right setting but once it's started it works fine.My disappointment with it is that the wire rolling basket does not work & I cannot find anything (videos/instructions) that even mentions the basket.I believe that something is missing, but the rotisserie works fine & you are suppose to use the same rod for both.The instruction pamphlet that came with the oven are very vague, it's just general stuff that you wouldn't have a problem with anyway.The price was good & I love the color & the size.

I researched many air fryers before deciding on this one. My biggest concerns were oven size and easy to use. This air fryer took care of both of those concerns plus some. So easy to use and clean. It cooks food thoroughly and quickly. I had the need to contact Decochef customer service this week about an issue and I received an immediate response. The agent I dealt with was very concerned and so helpful. He took care of the issue quickly. 5 star reviews for the product and the company. If you are looking for a great air fryer/toaster oven combo get this one. I have already done the research for you.

Instructions are so poor they are almost irrelevant. Had to call for help which was mediocre at best.So there is no broiler function. When you set a temperature you’d think it would show actual inside temperature as it goes up, it doesn’t. The temp reading just keeps flashing at what you set and there is no way to know it’s at temperature. You have to guess. When the time is up for a function common sense would have been to have a bell or something to tell you time is done, there is none. On off, temp time, and other buttons are finicky and you have to push several times to get it to work. It’s way too expensive for what you get. Reluctantly keeping it but don’t recommend it

Just received this item, so these are my initial comments. The fan sets up a loud noise and vibration. Sounds like an old tractor is running through my kitchen (really). The finish is not stainless steel - at least it does not look like my other stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, etc.) The finish is a dull look - almost like old tin or sheet metal. So I will give it a try and bake something and comeback to update this review. So I just baked a couple of muffins. It does what it is supposed to do - bake! But with a lot of huff and puff. It is on it's way back.
