Instant PotOmni Plus 19QT/18L Toaster Oven Air Fryer, 10-in-1 Functions, Fits 12" Pizza, Crisp, Broil, Bake, Roast, Toast, Warm, Convection, 100+ In-App Recipes, from the Makers of Instant Pot, Black

Having used this product multiple times a day, nearly every day, since Jul 2022, I can easily say this is the most important kitchen appliance I have. It has saved me SO much time and made cooking fun again. It took some trial and error to understand that all the cooking times would be much less and that often the temperature had to be dropped by at least 25 degrees due to the constant convection (low on bake function). My only complaint is that it's just not easy to clean, not even a little bit, especially if you've air fried some really juicy beef or wings. Cleaning with vinegar (as the maker recommends) doesn't remove the baked on grease. The most luck I had was using a steam cleaner to melt off some of the gunk from the many nooks and crannies. BUT! Frozen pizzas and wings often cook perfectly in half the amount of time it would take in a traditional oven. You can make a small batch of cookies in no time and most small bakeware fits just fine. The rotisserie chicken function really works and it makes decent toast (but it takes at least five minutes). It really shines as an air fryer and oven and almost made me think we could let go of our microwave too as it even reheats leftovers very well. Wouldn't want to live without it!

This 2nd Gen - Instant Pot Omni Pro 19 QT/18L Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo is a definite 'Must-Have' for any office, studio kitchen, as a newlywed Gift, family & friends, or your Man Cave.Note - this was a replacement for the older 1st Gen, Instant Omni Pro 19QT/18L Toaster Oven Air Fryer, 14-in-1, which lasted exactly 1.5 years, under heavy-use.Over the past 12 years, I have always recommended the Breville Toaster oven's, as they have always performed very well. Last January, my last medium-sized Breville was basically done after 5 years of heavy-duty use, so decided to look around for an upgrade, for my H/O. So, I purchased the 1st Gen Omni Toaster Oven.This is an update review for the 2nd Gen, which I find a much better oven than the 1st Gen (no longer available), primarily it does not over-heat, so the Temperature control is more precise..The Pro's - has 10 Function's yet to be discovered, or UN-covered, but, what also drew me to this unit is how Sleek and Modern it is and how it uses modern technology across it's cooking schemes.By comparison with the Breville's vs Instant Pot Omni Pro is like comparing a basic, over-sized toaster oven, even with a very good performance, vs, the quicker, time-saving, Energy saving's Future technology, with this improved 2nd Gen model.This is more apparent with this 2nd gen, as it cook's quicker, the new display has a large knob for adjusting Temperatures & Times, however the Main Menu remains the pretty much the same as the older one, so it's familiar, and don't need another "learning curve'. The end cycle alerts do not seem to be as loud as the older one. Also after a cooking cycle, it is much Cooler, than the older one, which probably explains the determent to the Display electronics, but not UN-like some of the Breville older model's..The Con's - Nothing to report, but will if there is an issue..Buy again? Definitely, with no reservation's.Get one, and Gift one.DSM

We have enjoyed learning how to air fry as well as using all the other features of the spacious Omni Plus 18L model since we bought it as a Christmas gift to each other in Dec '21. And use it we did, every day, and it worked beautifully and reliably for everything from cookies to roasts and all the air frying favorites... until about a week ago when for reasons still baffling to me (we never abused it), the main knob control decided it just didn't want to do anything anymore -- it was stuck in place, pressed in, and would no longer let us do anything with the oven. I haven't seen that as a common issue with this brand... BUT, the main thing I want to mention is, even though it was long after the Amazon warranty had expired, the Instant website has a great customer support department -- I wrote them about the problem, the next day they replied ready to help and asked a few more questions about what was going on, and then asking for a few pictures of the serial sticker and the problem (I sent video of the stuck knob), and screenshot of the purchase invoice... and the day after I sent all of that (very simple to get it all done), they told us they would simply be sending us a brand new unit, no charge or shipping, and it is already in the post and tracking number sent. That, to me, is prompt, helpful and customer-friendly support! Every correspondence was courteous, polite, to the point but not cold, in fact each one seemed very enthusiastic to get us back to cooking with Instant... and the last mail they sent referred to how happy they are to help and how happy they are to have loyal customers in the Instant Brands family. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but in this day and age of so much lousy or even non-existent support for so many electronic/electrical devices, it feels VERY good to know a company which has taken our hard-earned money actually reads, answers and FIXES problems for their customers. Gee, sometimes manufacturers care a little. Well done, Instant. An excellent model from an excellent company... from whom we will definitely be buying other products from now on.

Multi-functional unit that works as advertised. Clear instructions and controls make it easy to use. Temperature seems to be pretty accurate. Only problem found so far is that it beeps for just about anything. Not a real bother as the beeping is low volume. Accessories are nicely made and easy to use. Door fits good and keeps the heat in, which is a problem on some other units. The outside does get fairly hot, so placement needs to be considered.
