Instant Pot 140-4004-01 Omni Pro Air Fryer Toaster Oven, 19QT, Black

UPDATE: I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 5 after receiving the new oven and using it nearly daily for about a year now. This is a really great oven. It has so many functions and uses it's crazy. We rarely have a home cooked meal snack or dessert anymore that doesn't include something cooked in this thing. My previous review remains valid as well.So I'll start off by saying that the ovens touch screen malfunctioned right away. Just a few days after getting it new. It was behaving as if someone was repeatedly touching it and changing it's own settings. Changing itself from F° to C°, the rotate function would repeatedly cycle on and off, and it would constantly switch between "preheating" and "cooking". At first the malfunction was intermittent, and wasn't causing a serious issue with cooking the food. I ignored it hoping it would possibly go away on its own; but a few weeks later it had gotten progressively worse to the point that it wouldn't stay in "cooking" mode long enough to complete a meal.I contacted customer support and after providing my proof of purchase, and a short video of the machine malfunctioning, they voluntarily sent a replacement. I haven't received it yet, but will be updating this review once I have a chance to try it out.Now..... Onto the rest of the product review. I think this is a great little oven. It has a bit of a learning curve as far as what temperature to set it at for what foods; but other than a few scorched egdes and a couple of pizzas that had to go back in, it's been pretty amazing. Like any other oven, many factors have to be considered when setting their temperatures, and every oven varies. This one seems consistent. Something baked at 350 will always bake at 350. Something that burns at 275 will always burn at 275. Over all I am very pleased with this oven. If the new one has a better quality touch screen, I will be 100% happy.

This was a bad decision for the price and I am seeing other similar comments so I wanted to add another example.I usually don’t like to review appliances or electronics until the “honeymoon” period is over. Most consumers only review products after their first use and they are giddy with excitement, but people rarely put their products to the test before reviewing.I purchased this about 22 months ago. I used it probably twice per week maximum for 7-20 minutes each time. The touch panel is no longer functioning. It started with the down arrow breaking and not working anymore. Then quickly the entire thing failed. When plugged in, it turns on but cycles between Fahrenheit and Celsius on the temperature panel, and keeps beeping and adding minutes randomly to the timer.The center cooking grate is too small and is always falling out of place. The rubber feet are poor quality and leave black scuff marks on the countertop. Cannot easily turn off preheat option. You can’t leave it plugged in because the display will always stay lit up. The crumb catch tray is very flimsy.Unfortunate technology flaws for the steep price. Would not recommend. I contacted the Instant customer service asking for assistance and they just said “sorry, outside of warranty period, but you’re welcome to buy a new one!” A company that stands behind faulty product knowing that it fails shortly after the warranty period and so blatantly recommends spending another $300 on a bad product doesn’t deserve to be in business anymore. Laughable.

Initial thoughts on the 14-in-1 Omni Pro. Nice design, easy to read display, and easy to clean. This will literally replace several other small appliances in my kitchen and that is just fine by me.Packaging was great but not excessive. It arrived safely with all pieces and parts securely in place. It comes with a nice, fry basket, tray and rack, as well as the rotisserie pieces. Also, the emptied box doubled as a fun playspace for my cats.The included cookbook was pretty much a waste, with overly elaborate recipes that no one buying an air fryer wants - lamb skewers, chicken with pruned mushrooms, and other such nonsense. Toss it. Instant Pot, take note: people who buy these things want recipes for decent pizza, chicken wings, fried pickles, breakfast bakes, biscuits, NOT braised veal with mango aioli.If you have concerns about "burning plastic" smells, that is not an issue with this model. I did the 20-minute test run and any smells emitted were not intense and were the equivalent to a new microwave that I purchased. After the test run, there were no noticeable odors, other than the smells of delicious food cooking. It should also be noted that it runs quietly, with just the sound of a fan blowing. Other models may have rattling, this one does not.This air fryer toaster oven turned an inexpensive self-rising frozen pizza into a work of art! I did use a slightly lower cook temperature than was suggested on the pizza box and watched it to make sure I didn't burn it, since I've never used this before. I loved being able to see what is cooking and having the ability to turn the oven light on is great.The temperature probe is great for meats. Keep in mind, that generally if you're aiming for an internal temp of 165, you want to set it for 155 or 160 because the meat will continue to cook after being removed from the oven. If you take it out when it has an actual internal temperature of 165, it will be overdone by the time it rests.If you're new to this (like me) test this with some cheaper foods - frozen pizza, biscuits in a tube, chicken drumsticks or thighs. That way you won't feel bad if you overcook it or something goes wrong.The rotisserie was one of the big selling points on this, for me, but keep in mind that the limit on it is a 4 pound bird. I've seen people griping about this limitation, but this isn't a dedicated rotisserie, it's just a nice added feature. I'm considering trying a chicken leg quarter tied with butcher's twine, in lieu of an adequately-sized chicken, I will update this review whenever I decide to try that, but there are grocery stores that sell smaller chickens. It's also noteworthy that people at farmer's markets and Amish markets tend to sell chickens that aren't all 'roided up, so check those out if you have any of those near where you live.Unlike the manufacturer's claim - preheating does not take "seconds". It takes a few hundred seconds (roughly 5 minutes). Not terrible, but it is an unnecessary and exaggerated claim. It may not be up to full cooking temp when the preheat cycle is over, but it's close enough.I probably will invest in something other than a microwave cart to place it on because obviously it does get quite warm to the touch and I don't want my animals jumping on it. Hopefully the door handle will be redesigned at some point because after 20 minutes of cooking on 400 degrees it was a bit overly warm.I'm very impressed with this machine and plan on making every meal with it for the next 30 days to see how it holds up. This is great for a single person. This is great for a family (unless you have a huge family). It's versatile, compact, doesn't heat up the whole house and fun to experiment with. Don't be swayed by negative reviews - this is a fantastic way to cook!!
