Ultrean Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo, 32 Quart Convection Oven Countertop with Rotisserie, Toaster, Dehydrator, Bake, 7 Accessories & 50 Recipes, Silv

When I first received this oven, following instructions I powered it on for what I call the "burn-in" cycle. Apparently, per the instructions, heating it up to MAX temp allows any remaining post-shipping packing oils (a protective substance on the heating elements) to be burned off. The MAX temp we found was 450F (Broil mode). I left it on for 30 minutes just to be sure. I expected there to be noxious smell and smoke from this (and, no, I didn't need to cook lemons either). However, I was pleasantly surprised to experience nothing of the sort. It seemed to go seamlessly and without issues.The only thing that came as an initial "shock" was how hot the metal exterior got (especially on top). Being a current owner of the Ultrean 8.5-quart Air Fryer, I wasn't used to any sort of external heat radiation from an air fryer. Granted, we had it on the highest setting we could find also for 30 minutes and the instructions clearly warn, as well as a decal on the top, that it can get hot (so much so that you could get burned from a prolonged touch of the surface). Again, the instructions are clear that you should wear heat resistant gloves if you need to touch any of the hot surfaces. At first, I almost didn't want to continue using this. However, after some thorough research and comparison of other similar models out there, I found out that this is not a condition unique only to this brand and model, but is pretty much expected for almost any air fryer/oven of this type. It's not an oven you're going to allow your children to operate unsupervised. It requires someone who is mature and has some safety sense (no more than you'd expect to operate your standard stove top or range/oven). Once I got past this initial heat "shock" and realized this is just how things are for an oven of this type, I proceeded on with my experience cooking with it undeterred. I also have to say, that it would have been a mistake to have let it keep me from using it any further.Our first cooking experience was using the air fryer feature. There are a lot of cooking features too with this oven and, once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use the knobs and buttons to scroll through the options, and set the time and the temp for cooking. Use the top knob to scroll through the functions to pick the cooking function you want to use. The bottom knob you use to set the temp and then push it to finalize, turn it again to set the time and you’re done. If you plan on using this most of the time as an air fryer, you'll love the fact that they included a front panel button to "speed dial" to the air fryer cooking mode. We started by cooking curly fries. I love the expansive air fryer basket. It easily accommodated a whole package of frozen curly fries distributed evenly (without piles) across the wire mesh basket. I could already see that the "stop cooking and shake" mode would be eliminated with this unit that we usually have to do when cooking frozen fries in our Ultrean 8.5-quart model. When you set the temp and time, the unit goes into pre-heat mode (takes ~5 minutes or so to preheat to 400F). Once the pre-heat mode is complete, you'll hear a series of beeps and the "Pre" will be flashing on the display as well as the "Start/Cancel" button on the front of the unit. This is your visual signal to put your food in and then push the "Start" button to launch the cooking cycle... EASY!We also loved the oven light that you can easily turn off and on while cooking. It really helps you when checking the progress of your food (something you can’t do when cooking with most air fryers). It really helped for our first cooking experience as we were a bit unsure of the time and the light allowed us to monitor the progress of our first batch of fries, so we knew if we needed to stop cooking earlier than we had set it. Also, the accessories come with a nice portable metal handle that can be used for handling the cooking tray. I found it quite useful for safely sliding in the air fryer basket and for safely pulling out the hot basket when it was done.I did not need protective gloves to touch the handle on the glass oven door, nor to slide in or remove the air fryer basket using this nice portable tray handle they included in the accessories. The cooking experience was a breeze! It was so nice to not need to stop the cooking cycle to redistribute the fries... Nothing but a short 15 minute or so wait and you'll have some lovely fries, crispy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside.Another sweet spot to this experience was I found that the external temp of the unit was not nearly as hot (esp. on the sides) as during the Broil mode at 450F I used for the "burn-in" cycle when I first received it. Furthermore, the unit seems to cool down quickly after use (~5-10 minutes) and it will be safe to touch with bare hands. Also, post cooking cleanup was a breeze! The drip tray that easily slides in and out under the lower heating elements is easily wiped off with a dry paper towel to remove any grease or crumbs. The drip tray, air fryer basket and other accessories are washable as well.The other thing we love about this unit is how light and portable it is. I expected it to be heavy, but it is not. It's even lighter than our 8.5-quart air fryer. We don't have a lot of counter space, so we need to move this around and it makes mobility so much easier. Just make sure, wherever you place the unit that there's at least a few inches of clearance on all sides due to the heat radiation that can occur. Common sense safety measures apply with this as with any electrical appliance or oven.Another thing I was impressed with was their Ultrean's customer support. They've been right there ready to answer any questions and address any concerns. They've been wonderful and have helped me navigate my experience with this new amazing 32-quart air fryer/oven. We can't wait to explore more of this Ultrean 32 Quart Air Fryer/Oven's myriad of features!

This has been a great little toaster oven/air fryer. Everything we've cooked in it: fries, pies, wings, rings, roast chickens, pizzas, toast and more, came out perfectly crispy, juicy & delicious.Fairly easy to clean. the drip tray, which we keep covered in foil, slides out easily. The nonstick roasting pan cleans well, but scratches easily. The frying basket is the most difficult to clean, and usually requires a application of oven cleaner.The two biggest detractors are, my house smells like a fry kitchen for a couple of days after using the air fryer. If we get another one for our next house, we'll probably keep it in the outdoor kitchen. Why am I talking about a replacement, you ask. Well, 4 months after the 12-month warranty expired, the digital display has gone wonky, and it's probably only a matter of time before it goes out all together. To be fair, I have not yet contacted the company to see about any recourse. I'll update my review once I do.➡️ Update: Before I tried contacting the company, they contacted me! They saw my review, expressed concern about the failure of their product, and offered to send a replacement, eventhough it was 2 months past warranty! Amazing!The new appliance arrived quickly, but we had to wait to move into our house before we could use it. In the 2nd picture, you can see the Ultrean oven next to a bigger, and much more expensive GE Cafe Advantium wall oven; which can do a lot of things, but I haven't figured out how to evenly toast bread in it yet. One piece turned out nicely, but a second was burned to a crisp. I'm sure there's a way to adjust time and temp, I just haven't gotten that far in the operations course.With the Ultrean, you put bread on the rack, select toast and 7 minutes later, you have prefect, evenly toasted bread. Want it lighter or darker, just adjust the time. And, after you learn which knob to press and/or turn to make selections, all of it's cooking functions are just that simple.Our plan was to use the Ultrean in the outdoor kitchen, but even after I complete the Cafe Advantium operations course, I think, because of its ease of use and successful results, the Ultrean will still be our kitchen go-to for most of our air frying, baking, roasting & toasting needs.*Please note the placement of the Ultrean oven in the second picture is for display purposes only, as the cabinet it is under does not meet the 4" space recommended by Ultrean. When the oven is in use, it is moved out from under the cabinet.

Update:I’ve been using it every day while I was at the beach. It is really a pleasure, easy to clean and easy to use I’ve absolutely seen no problems. I came home and decided I wasn’t gonna use my old one anymore. I am going to order my next one. It is by far worth the money. totally impressed with this multi appliance ❤️❤️❤️. As a owner of several air fryers this is top of the line. Quieter than you can imagine. I love the inside light. It is very easy to operate. I was Leary buying a off brand but I needed the ovens measurements . I javen’t stopped using it since I got it. I bought it for our beach house because I despise your propane stove. I am going to replace my air fryer at home with another one like this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It makes fried food taste so light, you can cook so many different things and it was a great price. It's so easy to use, 2 knobs pretty much cook anything. I just wish I could find extra baskets to buy. The baskets I find don't fit it.
