NuWave Todd English iQ360 Smart Digital Oven

Wendy Stockdale: My old air fryer crapped out, and my husband ordered me this giant thing. At first, I was very intimidated. It has endless features and settings, most of which I haven't used. I have only been using it for two months now, so I can't speak to longevity, but I can say that I am satisfied. I actually really like the proofing setting because my house tends to run cold, and I can make baked goods in nearly half the time. It does have a long pre-heat time for the air fryer setting, so I have to plan ahead a bit longer than with my old air fryer. The racks don't fit well in the dishwasher, so I'm stuck handwashing. It has presets for specific meals that are a bit silly, in my opinion, but may be helpful for inexperienced cooks. It does have a light which is nice. This appliance won't be for everyone. If you want a small and quick air fryer, buy something else. It still doesn't hold as much as oven, so it won't always work for family sized meals or sides. I probably wouldn't recommend for the average kitchen, but it does meet my needs and surprised me with the proofing feature.

rayman: Excellent small oven. Best ever performing oven under $1k. It is excellent tool for home chefs. It cooks with excellent precision as long as you know what you are doing.this is not a toaster but it will do the job if you adjuste it right. Use preset numbers as starting points( although they are pretty good). I tried the followings:
Sea Bass, Salmon , Lamb Chops, Chicken ( breast meet kabab. Wings, drumsticks) ، Ground beef kanab, Stakes, focaccia bread, Pizza
They all came out like a high end resturants quality.
FYI preheat and rack levels are a key .
I also use Amazon Gutham Steel air fryer basket + WILLBBQ 304 Stainless Steel 13.2" Long Flat Barbecue Skewers from Amazon for kabab

J. StinesJ. Stines: This is an excellent smart oven with a lot of control. There are very quick and easy settings, and those settings can be modified giving great control over its operation. Custom settings can also be saved for making common tasks accomplished with the push of a button. Just take the time to learn to use the oven and you will be rewarded.

I wanted to address some things people may be curious about that isn’t clear about this oven from the listing. The oven does have a bump out for the main 5 in convection fan in the back. I’ve included a photo of the bump out and the flush mount cord, which is appreciated.

The oven does get hot on the outside, but within 1” from the left and right sides, the air temp is only a few degrees higher than ambient room temp and with my baker’s hands, I can touch the metal sides without burning, though it is certainly hot. The top radiates heat the most as would be expected. Cooking at 450F the air temp 4” above the oven was approximately 125F degrees in a 73F room. The top metal is too hot to touch while in operation. I discovered that the base unit appears to be nearly identical to the Ninja Foodi XL, and I ordered a cutting board...

BeesWax: Have been looking for some time to replace my 22 year old DeLonghi convection oven. After looking and trying a different one (returned), we settled on this Nuwave model and so far are very happy with it. Most important for me:

--Contrary to what one or two reviewers said, I find it very easy to use right out of the box if you just want to turn it on and bake, broil or whatever, leaving the factory defaults in place for fan, etc. It is so simple: just turn it on, select bake, if the preset temp of 350 isn't what you need just change it, change time if desired, and hit start. It preheats quickly. Have not tried the various modes, switching the fans, etc. which does get more involved, but certainly is not needed in order to operate the oven. Just depends on how many bells and whistles you want to use--it does have a lot of them!
--I like that the light does not automatically turn on all the time while cooking. You can turn the light on and off while cooking or leave it on--up to you. I like saving the bulb. The DeLonghi oven this replaces had the light stay on during the entire cooking time.
--The oven is not particularly noisy when running. Also it does not throw off...
