It earns me a small amount of commission on every sale at no extra cost to you) The oven arrived in a large colourful branded box with loads of images on the outside along with the oven specifications. The packing and packaging is very good with the main unit sandwiched between compressed cardboard and wrapped in a cellophane bag. The door was secured in place with tape with all the trays and rotary drum being protected with card inside. First impressions: the oven is quite heavy and sits nice and solidly on a flat surface with four rubber feet on the bottom. The finish is a matt black with a glass front to the door and control panel, in my opinion this is a nice sleek design and easier to store or keep in place having a standard square shape unlike some similar devices. After unpacking everything I washed all the removable parts and wiped down the inside of the over along with removing the detachable front door and wiping that down (this cannot be immersed in water). I had a good read through the manual and then switched on the oven for the first time. I heated the oven to 200c and set it for 15 minutes as per the instructions to eliminate any manufacturing residue. I thought the manual was good walking you through the setup and usage very well along with good linked diagrams for identification and usage. The touch screen is very responsive and lights up well with nice clear LED’s. I first tried the oven out with some chips in the rotating mesh basket, I used peeled and cut potatoes rather than frozen chips and mixed them in a bowl with a teaspoon of olive oil before placing them in the basket. The rotisserie has a locating hole on the left of the oven and it locks into this slot before slotting in the right hand side, I found this was fairly easy to put in place. I did think the chips might need additional time to the time given by the pre-set for chips but they didn’t and came out perfect, removing the basket with the rotisserie handling fork. Removing items on the rotisserie is a reverse process to putting them in by remove the right hand side first at an angle. This sounds complicated but is actually very straight forward to do. I did find you have to be very careful releasing the catch on the rotating mesh basket due to it being very hot and I used a tea towel to do this. I next tried out cooking a chicken on the rotisserie spit, I was impressed with the results and it cooked the chicken perfectly with the pre-set setting for chicken. Since these two tests I have cooked a multitude of different items such as fish, chicken wings, bacon and a small lamb joint in the oven using both the pre-set settings and the manual settings, and it has done a great job. I have no real experience of dehydrating food but did try this out with some tomatoes and it appeared to do a good job although I don’t really know how they should turn out. Overall in my opinion this is a really good air fryer/oven, the rotating mesh basket and whole rotisserie system of this oven does a great job of cooking everything evenly and thoroughly. The touch screen is very responsive and not overly or unnecessarily complex. I like the look and design of the oven and everything is very easy to clean after use.
