VAL CUCINA Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven, Extra Large Countertop Convection Oven 10-in-1 Combo, 6-Slice Toast, Enamel Baking Pan Easy Clean with Recipe Book, Black Matte Stainless Steel

This appliance has left my microwave begging to be used because all of our favorite food just turns out better in this toaster oven! My kids are obsessed with chicken nuggets, burritos, and pizza. The geek out over the restaurant-worthy crunch they never had with just a microwave. Seriously...I may have to give away my microwave now. But here's the kicker – it's not just for the kiddos. I've discovered that it's a magician when it comes to fish, giving it flakiness that's just heavenly. And oh, the small batches of cookies! They come out golden, chewy, and absolutely irresistible. I have found myself using this way more than my large built in oven because it heats up so much faster! It is super easy it is to clean up. No more scrubbing and scraping – a quick wipe after you cook is all it needs. And let's talk about aesthetics – this oven is not just a kitchen appliance; it's a piece of art. It adds a touch of Italianesque sophistication and style to my kitchen that I absolutely adore. Way better than all the other toaster ovens that look like a stainelss steel box of sadness. From Air Fry to Toast, Bake, and even Slow Cook, it does it all I need it to do and more. Its a great functional size too, small enough to not rob you of all of your counter space but has family size capacity for larger dishes. I prefer to air fry in this over my air fryer because I don't have to shake the food if I put it in just right. This was a Prime Day splurg and I'm so glad I bought it! I haven't found any cons yet. I'm using the heck out of it so if I find any I'll be sure to update my review.

I went into severe analysis-paralysis when choosing an oven/air fryer to replace our aging Oster. I mean, I really research. There wasn't much on this oven though. All the other ovens had online reviews. Not so much this one except for corporate videos. But the features were what I was looking for WITH an air-fryer aboard. I don't want to have loud beeping and a wide footprint from my toaster over... ✔️ The controls are very intuitive. The scrolling menu feature is easy to see and has pre-sets. The digital display is very clear to read and I wanted to be able to add increments of time. I also wanted vents on the side ✔️ It's the fastest and most complete toaster I've ever used. Bread and bagels come out perfectly. We use the bake function all the time and it is very good at giving you a crust if that's what you want. A 9" pizza fits easily. Our main oven doesn't get used as much now. The light button helps when you want to see what's going on. The air fryer feature has worked perfectly for wings and fries. My wings come out crispy. The fan does make a noise while it's running at 47 decibels from a distance of 2'. That's for every function. It looks sharp too, which is important in an open floor plan kitchen. The picture I provided shows it under a 17" high cabinet.

Works perfectly. Takes a little time to figure out the controls. I love that there are not plastic components and love the all metal pieces. The blue pan/cookie sheet cleans very easily, even after many uses, almost like a non-stick type of surface. Heats up quickly and works as a oven, air fryer, convection oven, and more. Works good when you do not want to heat up a large full size oven. Have this on our kitchen counter and gets used weekly. Looks modern and cleans up easily. Came packaged well with no damage.

Product is great. Easy to figure out.

Love this oven / toaster ! !! It’s beautiful and does the job of several other appliances! It preheats quickly. I like that it automatically suggests temp/time from your selection. And best of all, it quickly accomplishes what my big oven took forever to do! So far I have baked cinnamon buns and a pie and toasted an English Muffin. All things accomplished with so much less wait time and waste of energy than using my big oven. It is sizeable, but to fit what I wanted to cook, it needed to be. But, I gained counter space elsewhere because I eliminated the need for our toaster. It has a quality look and it came with a variety of racks that slide in and out easily. Someone had complained about not being able to turn it off, but all you do is hold the start button 3 seconds. I am in love with this item so far! Update: after owning for two months I still love my oven BUT it does have one FLAW so far, it has scorch marks on the outer edges of the door where the heat escapes. I think this could have been avoided if they had taken the rubber gasket all the way to the edge. The oven still works beautifully but the esthetic appeal is waning because of the scorch marks :(

Updating my review again... I am pleased to notice that after my initial review complaining of the inaccurate color description, not only does the following review update apply, but the seller actually renamed the color description from Black Stainless to Metallic Gray. Awesome that they cared enough to do that, and I do believe that is an accurate description of the color. I am updating my previous review of this product for 3 reasons. 1. The seller went above and beyond to earn our satisfaction. They genuinely wanted us to be pleased with their product and they did not make any excuses, just wanted to resolve the issue if possible. Due to the fact that our issue was with color/description rather than actual product performance, we decided to keep the product to see how it actually performs. 2. Upon rereading the description of color, I am wondering if the issue was more of a language or wording issue, versus outright incorrect color description. The product stated it was Black Stainless. We have other Black Stainless appliances, so assumed this would be the same color. But now I believe that the seller meant Black AND Stainless vs Black Stainless, as the sides are black and the front is regular stainless. So perhaps more of an accident with wording. Despite being initially disappointed that it wasn't colored as expected, it is a classy looking little machine. 3. We have used the oven 7 or 8 times and actually are very pleased with its operation. It cooks quickly and evenly and we have no complaints with it thus far. We haven't used all the functions, but toast and airfry get 5/5 stars so far. Changing my overall review to 5 stars because we are very pleased with the oven's cooking ability as well as the excellent customer service. Thanks Val Cucina! Original post: We ordered this Val Cucina Air Fryer Toaster Oven in black stainless steel because our other appliances are black stainless steel and this product had good user reviews. BE AWARE that despite the fact that this is called a Black Stainless Steel product, only the sides and top are black stainless. The entire front is regular stainless steel color. And since the front of the product is the majority of what you see, it completely clashes with our other black stainless steel appliances. So very frustrating given that the color was 90% of the reason we ordered this product. It is going straight back to Amazon. Not even going to plug it in. Extremely disappointed in the deceptive color name of this product.

**UPDATE 2/10/2025** 4 months after purchase I'm angry, mad, disappointed and baffled. This unit was not cheap. I wouldn't call it expensive either but def not cheap. I didn't buy this for a 1 time use. I'm not a dirty person, I'm really clean and care for the things I spend my money on. The unit I got is trash and I don't recommend spending your money on this or you'll end up in my predicament. I also don't ever come back to do updates on products let alone a criticizing one. Well the day has come and I hope my review reaches others and they take note. After only 4 months of light use this oven/toaster looks like it's been through WW1 and WW2 back to back. It's rusty to the point Idk it's safe to use it. It's not just rusted but there's stains that do not come off no matter how much I scrub. Also this unit doesn't close properly and always leaks steam and smoke around the door and trough the cracks in the back as seen in the pix theres light coming through from the bottom unionat vertical and horizontal surface cross. How is this possible??????? Please see the pix. Can't even understand how this happened? None of my appliances EVER looked like this even after years of abuse. Also how come others have not experienced this? Or are you guys not honest? Is mine a complete failure on quality control and if that's the case is this company therefore to be trusted? I want my money back asap!!!!! 😩 Below is my original review just so you guys can see I was very fair from the beginning and only gave it 4 stars for the reasons I mentioned but it doesn't even deserve 1 star now. It looked sturdy and looked like it would get many many uses out of it. Ugh! **ORIGINAL REVIEW** 10/23/2024 I'm overall super happy with this unit. I've cooked several times already in the 2 weeks I've owned it. I have yet to use it in some of its settings such as pizza, reheat, warm, slow cook or dehydrate but I've used it on all other settings. Pros: - cooks fast and really well - fits perfectly on the countertop with standard kitchen cabinets - is spacious - has all the accessories needed and are extremely useful - uses little energy - cooks multiple foods at the same time - not loud (it's not super quiet either but def less noisy than a standard microwave) Cons: - takes a forever for toasting bread so be patient - mine releases condensation at the front upper corners of the door - vanity colors are not cost justified - steep cost for the quality (see above why) Overall: I'm keeping it despite the issues because it does what it claims and reduced my cooking time in half. I still recommend this unit but wouldn't recommend to pay so much more just for a limited edition color. Looks sturdy, looks durable, it's going to cook a lot of yummy dishes so we will get our money's worth for sure.
