Nuwave Combi Steam Oven, 16Qt All-in-One Stainless Steel Multi-Cooker: Air Fry, Toast, Steam, Sous Vide & More, Precise 50-450°F, Adjustable Moisture, 120 Presets, Programmable Memories, Easy to Clean

TL;DR: The majority of people who buy this will most likely be delighted with both the food it cooks and the oven itself, but the following appears to be an issue with this and every brand air fryer out there: it has something nasty from the manufacture on all sides of the heating element. For this reason, IMHO the heating element needs to be thoroughly cleaned with paper towels, including between the top of the element and the fan area (I can only imagine that nasty stuff dripping into food during a cook that uses any of the steam functions. That part of the initial clean is why I knocked it down to 4.5 stars.)- Would be nice if inside it were wider and maybe a hair taller to feed a family of 7 otherwise you have to cook in batches and use the keep warm setting of your built-in oven.- It's quiet.- It cooks food fast- It's easy to use, but the recipe book and presets chart can be tricky to understand the first few uses. For example, add and remove have to do with allowing it to preheat with the food out of oven between stages. Although, the recipe and presets chart have many tasty options, IMHO they are best used for getting used to the oven and combination cooking. Otherwise recipes online, etc. that are made for combi steam ovens, air friers, etc. should work fine.- The price was a bit steep considering its size could have been a little wider inside, but the materials and build quality is pretty high such as stainless steel instead of plastic. If this thing breaks down after the warranty is up, I hope it is repairable. There is nothing "yet" close in price that does what this does on the market. The APO is a bit wider, but apparently the APO has a lot of issues and cost double or more the price of this Nuwave.- As of this review there are no accessories such as additional air fry baskets, bake pans, deeper air fry baskets, or deeper bake pans to purchase on Amazon that are made by Nuwave . That is also why it gets 4.5 stars.- I think the only thing missing is a built-in temp probe for certain foods where it can control the temp based upon internal meat temperature. Well and the fact that it only gives presets for New York Steak instead of other cuts of steak.

In sous vide cooking mode, the oven is extremely, extremely accurate in temperature that is set.Background: I have a wireless meat temperature probe with an advertised +/- 0.5 Fahrenheit temperature accuracy that can measure the internal meat temperature and also the ambient temperature of the oven. The Nuwave’s Combi oven temperature accuracy in sous vide cooking mode is advertised at +/- 1 Fahrenheit.Discussion: When the oven is set to 135F (Fahrenheit) in sous vide cooking mode, the wireless meat probe measured the oven ambient temperature at 135F. (I was cooking corn beef at that time and the internal corn beef temperature was 134.8F). Clearly the Nuwave Combi Steam Oven is well within Nuwave’s advertised +/- 1F temperature accuracy range.Note: to test the Nuwave’s Combi oven temperature accuracy under cooking conditions, I placed corn beef in a sous vide plastic bag and then set the bag in the oven with the oven to 135F for 48 hours at 10% humidity. I left the oven come to steady state temperature condition that took a few hours because the corn beef was placed in the oven at refrigerator temperature. After reaching steady state temperature condition, the oven held the 135F temperature for all the remaining cooking time. Lastly, I used a sous vide plastic bag to make cleanup easier, therefore I did not need to set the oven humidity to 90%.

Here is what I have found so far:1. If you owned a Breville before, don't be surprised that this oven isn't as well built as the Breville. It is a four-slice bread size. Here’s what I have found so far:1. If you previously owned a Breville oven, this one is not as well built. It has a four-slice capacity compared to six slices with the Breville. Additionally, it lacks a filament on the bottom, so you'll need to flip your bread over while toasting. However, it cooks and toasts more evenly than the Breville.The included accessories, such as the baking pan, fryer, and grill, are cheaply made, but both the oven and the accessories are easy to clean. I mainly use the stove for the combination steam and fry feature, which I love. The food comes out moist, tender, and evenly cooked.

I love this thing. I've never used a steam over, or combi steam oven before. So far though I've cooked a few things, presets, and they came out perfect. You basically just preheat, start and forgot about it until it's done. No need to check on it throughout.I just made hard boiled eggs, and they came out delicious. First time I ever made hard boiled eggs without boiling in water. This was awesome.

this unique oven with steam provides improved taste in heating/cooking our foods

Great product!!!!!!

Oven works but has a small dent on the side

Very happy with the purchase
