To replace a basic KitchenAid toaster oven, I searched countless "best of" lists, and store, Amazon and brand websites. My counter space is limited to no larger than 18" wide, 15" high and 15" deep. Even though I have a great stand-alone air fryer, I realized that a new unit would include at least air frying and convection functions. In addition to KitchenAid, I also looked at models made: by Breville, Toshiba, Black & Decker, GE, Cosori, Balmuda, Sharp, Panasonic, Cuisinart, and Hamilton Beach. Most models were too large, and too complicated, while some had too many numerous negative reviews not to be alarmed. Although I wasn't familiar with NuWave, I found that this Bravo Air Fryer Bravo Pro Oven had a clean chrome look, and all of the features that I wanted, and more, including timing from 1 minute to three hours, auto turn off, and 1800 watts. The toasted bagels and waffles, convection and air frying functions I've tried so far have turned out perfectly. I intend to try some of the recipes in the booklet as the food in the photos looks yummy and the recipes easy. This NuWave Bravo Oven offers a lot of value for the money and I will look at purchasing other of their products in the future.
