Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer, Cook like a pro with just the press of a button, Smart Air Fryer Cooker with Cook probe, Water Atomizer, 3 professional cooking modes, 6 QT

This combination cooker reminds me of my first bread maker back in 1990. All of a sudden, you could put the ingredients in, push a button, and go away. It has done that for me for meals. It Broils, Bakes, Defrosts, Air Fry's (and Convection cooks), Dehydrates, and cooks with steam/humidity (“steam cooks” using a water tank (my words)). There is a “sous vida” capability, which is pretty neat with meat. It has a temperature probe which allows it to control the types of cooking with recipes you choose from those inside and those provided in an Apple or Google App. It has an impressive control system which is nicely integrated with the display screen. This allows you to effectively turn the whole cooking operation over to the Chefmaker, from when you put in the ingredients, to when you “plate” them. It also has 4 modes which you use to cook Chef Mode which allows you to use all the capabilities built in, based on Chef recipes for various foods, Classic (air fryer) Mode pretty much like my old air fryer, Probe Mode (sort of air fryer mode with a probe, that turns off the air fryer when the dish gets to the desired temperature. There is also the App, which has recipes like those of Chef mode, but can use whatever other way of cooking the chefs and engineers decided to have the device follow. This is all pretty cool to us, and we have had nothing but successes. The downsides? The device is new and desperately needs documentation and Cookbooks. For instance, you can easily choose a meat dish from your favorite recipes and search through the Chef Mode and APP recipes to find something similar, which you can use to cook your dish. There are a good number of cooking with Chefmaker videos out there, with everything from cornbread, which work great in your Chefmaker, but you Have to go looking, and generally, you better write down the instructions, because they usually are not in the YouTube video. You can take Air Fryer Recipes, and adapt them, but you better be careful to watch them, because air fryers vary widely, and the Chef Maker has a pretty powerful heating element. It would sure be nice to have a paper or on-line “Map” of the options and recipes in the device’s inherent modes. I expect these problems to go away pretty quickly, because Dreo has engineered the device to be able to change both its software and the recipes. The current Chefmaker’s size, and therefor portion sizes seems to make it most useful for meals for 2 or 3 people, or you get into “batch cooking”. For instance I love cooking bacon in it, but can only get 5 pieces in. Well, I’m going to eat two of them (but I sure loved sitting down with my wife and coffee when the bacon was cooking. Got breakfast done in half the time. P.S. My first Filet was Exactly Medium Rare in Chef/Sous Vida Mode. I cooked it with the probe in my (larger) filet. Wife prefers Medium, and next time, I’ll set the steaks to Medium, stick the probe in hers so the smaller steak is medium and the larger is less rare. Just not going to be able to get the Thanksgiving turkey in there next week (you can get a little rib roast in though.

Easy to use and easy clean up. Cooks steak and chicken perfectly.

I have owned a lot of air fryers because I have owned dozens of homes up to 25 homes at once - and most of them have had air fryers. This is the type of kitchen appliance. I've always been looking for... Something with a lot of style with an interface that has a beautiful color screen with an easy to use and intuitive interface. And doesn't look like it was designed by somebody who designed a cheap American car. Having a basket is truly superior to any other air fryer like the ones that just have a door... I used to think that those were better but after having so many different air fryers having a basket really is the best. But this is a basket that also has a window which is fantastic. The fact that this has a water tank for steamer functions is fantastic. I really love that a lot. My suggestions for this company is that they allow us to make a few more custom programs or that they even include some better custom programs for things like breads... There is no bread function, but it would be great if there was a function for making frozen rolls or biscuits or for heating up pita bread which is best heated up with steam. I also wish that you could select a favorite from the menu on the screen rather than going to your phone, but that's okay for now. This company makes really fantastic products. I have five of their wall heaters and this air fryer and everything about their interface on the app is just so good. Like so good that it's unbelievable. Also this is kind of like the Tesla of air fryers... I say that because it seems that they make frequent updates and add functions to the air fryer about once a month so far, but it is a new product, but I like to see that they are continuing to support it and improve it even once it has been delivered to customers. I'm sold on Dreo as a company and I can't wait for them to make some more products... I really hope that they make at bread maker because with their interface I bet it would just be so good. Maybe one day they could also be the first company to make a home based boba tea. Tapioca Pearl maker because that would be incredible and it's something I've always wanted.

I have updated this review as Dreo customer support has been in touch and explained technical issues had prevented them receiving my emails. That aside once the issue had been found the issue was very swiftly and effectively resolved. They did not ask me to update this review, however I felt it was only fair to do so. I can now rate the product as I suggested as a full 5 stars, though I would ask them to improve spares support in the future. This would have been 5 stars but without UK customer support it only gets 3 This is a really good product and does the job very well, i took the gamble on a start up unkown to me brand and it paid off. The only problem and to me it is a big one is the lack of UK customer support. There is a design issue with the perspex front panel on the basket that can lead to the mounts breaking away. I have tried to order a replacement and there is never any stock and the UK customer support email address goes unanswered. It is a great air fryer but its long term use might be limited but the lack of support.

Very good

Me encanta la precisión del término en los cortes de carne, super recomendado!

I have owned this air fryer for 19 months, and it has been fantastic. I use it every single day and absolutely love it. In fact, I rarely use my Miele combi-steam oven anymore because the DREO air fryer is so much faster and easier to use. The screen is excellent, with beautiful high-resolution images that make it very intuitive. Big respect to the team for creating such a sophisticated product, and for providing incredible customer service!

Un an plus tard, je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon Chefmaker ! C'était ma première expérience avec un air fryer. Et, je dois dire que je ne regrette aucunement mon achat, et je ne peux plus m'en séparer. Le Chefmaker est peut-être un peu plus dispendieux en comparaison des marques populaires, mais sa technologie et ses accessoires rendent celui-ci beaucoup plus attrayant et plus "premium", à mon avis. Par exemple, j'ai comparé le Chefmaker avec les air fryer de mes amis. Les "presets" et le "probe" sont ce qui attire le plus. Un steak medium saignant ? Un poulet sous-vide ? Une cuisson selon la température internet ? Juste à appuyer sur deux ou trois buton, insérer le thermomètre, et voilà ! En plus, vous avez une application sur téléphone très sympathique ! Entre autres, vous pouvez suivre la cuisson sur votre téléphone. Ce n'est pas indispensable, mais très agréable lorsque nous sommes dans la pièce voisine. L'application propose aussi des recettes avec des tutoriels, ce qui est également très plaisant. Seul bémol, mon Chefmaker a complètement arrêté de fonctionner après une cuisson, environ 14 mois plus tard après mon achat. Toute l'alimentation s'est coupée. Cependant ! J'ai communiqué avec le service à la clientèle avec le système de messagerie dans l'application. Quelques heures plus tard, Carol, au service client, m'a contacté et m'a demandé quelques informations supplémentaires (photo, vidéo, facture, etc.). J'ai tout partagé, et en moins de deux jours Carol m'a confirmé un nouvel envoi pour remplacer mon modèle défectueux ! Ma crainte s'est rapidement dissipée, et j'ai eu le nouveau appareil en moins d'une semaine entre le moment de ma signalisation et la réception à la maison. Qui plus est, le nouvel appareil a bénéficié de quelques corrections depuis mon premier achat, et a été livré avec une nouvelle garantie ! Honnêtement, je n'ai aucun commentaire négatif à partager sur le Dreo Chefmaker. Que ce soit l'appareil ou le service client, tout est parfait de mon expérience !
