Best Russell Hobbs Benchtop / Toaster Ovens

Use every day - very happy so far – Solid construction and does what it says it will do. I read reviews and manual before purchasing and so was aware that hotplates can't be used at… Read more

same time as oven and that hotplates only have high temperature. Solution to the latter: find a STURDY open-wire grill stand (with legs) that is slightly higher than the hotplate, place over hotplate and place saucepan on top - this will allow simmering. This mini oven is great value for money (I paid $144) - you can't compare apples with pears!

air fryer, and we bought it on 31 Mar 24, Sunday. When we got home, we air fried some chicken straight away! Although the outcome was not crispy, the chicken wings were cooked and juicy. We also tried some chicken portion, still it does not give the brown or crisp outcome. Yesterday we used the pizza function, the outcome was fantastic, we were impressed. Our last test on the machine this morning was a cake. Outcome? Its good, it does not require longer baking time as compared to the conventional kind I suppose.

More importantly to me about this air fryer is, the "easy clean" function with steam. This is the ultimate reason why we had our eyes on this machine. It is so easy to clean compared to our old Instant Pot Vortex, which is impossible to clean around the coil area. Hence, oil stain accumulated. The "easy clean" function definitely cuts down the cleaning time.

Although this machine 'does not crisp or brown' the chicken like our old Instant Pot Vortex, it is easy to clean and very quiet.

Overall, this Russell Hobbs Air Fry Toaster Oven does not crisp food as compared to Instantpot airfryer. I believe it is the glass door which has a gap, this allows heat to emit from the glass door. At the end of the day, we pulled out our old Instantpot airfryer again.

No air fryer only grill – Bought this item for the air fryer feature, but came to realize there is no air frying, just the same old grill like all the other grills I had. .very dissappinted
