Not happy
Nice looking compact oven, however the temperature of the thermostat compared to the cooking temperature was way off. It was necessary to set the oven temp 50-75 degrees lower to keep things from overcooking or burning. We returned the first one we purchased and got a second one hoping it would be better. Unfortunately it was not and we returned it for a refund yesterday. I contacted customer service and the rep i spoke with indicated that they had not encountered this situation before. He was very understanding and recommended returning the oven (first one) for and exchange. We also learned from a couple different sources that this model has been discontinued and a newer model is now available.

I traded in my Breville Oven/Fryer for a Cuisinart Oven/Fryer and I am not happy with it. It cooks very hot and very fast. Anything that I have made in it I have had to adjust the temp lower and the time shorter than the recipe calls for. I feel that I have to constantly keep an eye on the food or it definitely burns. I guess I am just used to the accuracy of my Breville.

This was an amazing product for two years until it suddenly died and no longer works. Will be contacting Cuisinart since it’s still under warranty.

I have been using this air fryer toast oven for about 3 weeks. It cooks food quickly, it is quiet and does not generate much heat. It will be great on hot Summer days when the big oven heats the house. What I do not like is that after 3 weeks, I can see grease sticking to its non stick surfaces and the baking pan looks really dirty. I like my baking pan each time and wash it with hot sudsy water. I rarely add oil to anything that I am cooking and when I do add oil it is never more than 1 tablespoon. I'm also disappointed that its cookbook does not tell you to flip food about halfway through. I learnt the hard way and then had to go online and watch YouTube to see how people cook with this air fryer oven. This is a disappointing lack of detail. However, the difficulty keeping the oven and its accessories clean is what bothers me the most. I've tried to submit pictures, but for some reason, I am not able to select the option.

It is more than one appliance, therefore, the instructions need to be more specific. More recipes and uses for the air fryer would be helpful. It was a gift and I am not using it because I don't know how to use it properly.

No pre-heating ability. Seems to burn food quickly. Definitely have to keep an eye on anything cooking.

If you are going to buy this model and use it as a toaster, or use the oven part for cooking things like frozen food (pizza rolls, chicken nuggets, fries, etc) then it will work well. The problem comes with air frying or "grilling" meat. It has a tendency to smoke when you want to cook something like a steak or a burger in it (which the grilling part was designed to do). Before long the inside of the unit, especially the top where the fan and heating elements are, will become caked with grease. You will not be able to see it building up and before you know it, it smokes and smells with every use. Steer clear unless you intend to use it only as a toaster or for frozen foods.

The air fryer knob is not working, the oven is just two years old!

Baking temperature controls are way off. This is a great appliance for air frying, and toasting. i can't use it for baking because the temperature can't be controlled. I've had to go back to using my big oven for baking anything that requires a set temperature.
