De’Longhi Air Fry Oven, Premium 9-in-1 Digit

The last one lasted 13 years – hopefully this one does, too!
My old De’Longhi toaster oven finally died after 13 years and thousands and thousands of uses, and I chose this one to replace it.It does a great job, comes to temperature quickly, toasts great, and is easy to use. It’s a bit bigger than the older models, but it fits perfectly in that weird space on my counter under the cabinet and next to the fridge that’s unusable for anything else! As others have noted, the design of the door handle means it doesn’t open 100% of the way unless you have it positioned over the end of the counter, but that hasn’t stopped me from being able to take things in and out, change around the shelves, etc. – all without searing my knuckles on the elements!The only thing I really don’t love are the control knobs. They’re finicky, not intuitive, and you can’t get the precise control you could on the older models. I’ve learned how to work with it, but honestly, it’s an overengineered solution for something that needs to be just a simple knob. But other than that, I love it, and hope it lasts as long as my last one!

So far so good
I’ve only had this for a few days, but it’s performed quite well so far. It looks decent, has a pretty good capacity, stays reasonably cool. Absolutely maddening to use, but I doubt if any of the others are better- they insist on putting these idiotic electric brains in everything; it would be so much easier with just on-off, temperature, and convection on/off controls, but we soldier on. I’ve tried a couple of the pre set programs; the “cookies” setting worked pretty well with a pretty average sort of dough; the “pizza setting” was less successful and took almost 20 min. for a thin crust pizza, but it may be as well as you’ll do with an oven that only reaches 450 degrees. The accessories that come with it are OK- a perforated pizza pan would work better than what they give you, and a cookie sheet or two would be great; then again, it’s gotten pretty hard to find a regular size cookie sheet, and most of what’s available is insulated (ie useless). Actually, the supplied pizza pan has embossed lettering so deep that it actually holds much of the crust away from the bottom of the pan, so that’s not so good. There is a sort of sheet pan (I thought for a while that it was the bottom of the oven. It is not, however, flat- there’s a large raised rectangle in the middle with embossed lettering, so it’s pretty much useless for baking.The big question with these ovens is durability, which of course I can’t tell at this point; the heating elements are metal rods, which are reputedly more durable than quartz elements, and the electronics seem to be pretty well protected from heat, but it’s hard to be sure. The glass door is hinged at the bottom; this is probably the most convenient for loading the oven and placement, but it does make it vulnerable if you drop or spill something while loading/unloading the oven. The signal buzzer is nearly inaudible from more than a couple of feet, so not very useful. The included accessories are solidly built but poorly designed, a surprise from this company.

Excellent quality. Does everything as expected but better than any other unit we tried. Very quiet operation. Fits well on counter top. Great heat transfer to product on all settings. Superior cooking in minimum time. Highly recommend.

Problem with the fryer basket (sharp metal chips sticking out). They gave a credit to buy another one.

Beatiful design. Cannot register machine because web site only allows accept U. S. buyers. Everything works except changing temperature to degrees C. Non-stick interior makes clean up easy. Machine does not smell while cooking and exterior is not scorching hot.
