I don’t have one of these, but I’ve got the Ninja Foodi multi cooker and mini oven. Can honestly say I’ve not used my regular oven on more than a handful of occasions since I got them. So handy. Especially as a disabled person with limited movement of late. Couldn’t be without

It’s not the first thought for a lot of people, but it can make a huge positive difference for those of us who have difficulty with regular ovens.

[@PlanetFletcher]

You know this review is a little bit of heaven. I looked at 2 other reviews of this air fryer. The first one was 2 late-middle aged guys who looked like they'd never been in a kitchen before - they spent the whole review unboxing it and then just looking at the menu options before deciding it was better than 'an old oven' which was actually a Bosch. The second one was another middle aged guy who did chips. I mean, all that money and both reviews decided it was great, but your review, the 3rd one I saw, actually used it! You win the internet, thank you for actually doing a public service.

Hi Grace! I splurged and bought myself a very similar air fryer last year , called Breville Smart oven . It has 8 functions, instead of crumpet like yours , mine has a bagel setting . I love the proof setting for my sourdough and other doughs. My family was skeptical at first , because it takes up a lot of real estate on the counter , but after a year it has been the most used appliance in our kitchen! Well worth the investment!

They say it steam out a bit to you have that experience? Manual says and I saw on a video doing that "Steam is coming out from the top of the oven door. • This is normal. The door is vented to release steam created from high-moisture content food such as frozen breads. Water is dripping onto the bench top from under door. • This is normal. The condensation created from high moisture content food such as frozen breads will run down the inside of the door and can drip onto the bench top." Thank you.

[@leslieyancey5084]

I used to have a toaster oven and absolutely loved it! It didn’t have all the settings that yours has, but it was so quick, convenient, and cooked so much better than a microwave!

[@KassiopeiaMond]

I bought that oven, because our big one broke. And I've been loving it so much, that we didn't yet (3 years later) buy a new oven. I use it for everything. Homemade pizza turns out really great if you crank the heat up to the max.

[@alissa379]

I have an air fryer like this it's not this brand but I love it! It works really well and so good when the oven is full and you need to bake something. I have the Emeril one if anyone is wondering and genuinely don't have any complaints. I got it for Christmas a couple years ago and I looked it up and it is 100 dollars cheaper than the one grace features, maybe worth giving it a try if your interested in an air fryer like this?

[@mikeysaint4368]

Mine came from Amazon today, and yours was the first decent looking review KZbin listed. I'm not going to be home for several days so the fun will have to wait, but thank you for such a thorough demonstration. We have an air fryer at work but it's very basic - you basically get a sort of bucket (basket) to put your food in. If you want a bag of chips or a roast doing it's fine, but I want to cook a couple of things at the same time so went with the Sage with its proper oven style racks. First impressions are that it's a great looking machine, it's sturdy and definitely doesn't look or feel cheap. I'll watch your video again before I do some actual cooking. PS. The Sage brand is known as Breville in other parts of the world.

Hello Grace, l have just bought one of these and yet to try it out. Did you plug the oven into a normal wall socket or have a dedicated separate circuit plug socket???

[@mmaim881]

for those with a regular toaster: you have to try to toast your bagel cut open and then put together in the toaster, it’s soo good, cuz it gets crispy on the outside and really nice in the inside 😍

[@kristyrash927]

I live in America and my Breville Smart Air Fryer Oven looks exactly like this one. It’s got to be the same one except they changed the name for the UK. I absolutely love it and glad you like yours too. Apparently you can fit a roast chicken in so I was hoping you were going to do that but was glad you made the battered zucchini too.

[@HelenBeeee]

This was really helpful Grace our Phillips airfryer has started falling apart the plastic handle has deteriorated and broken off (we have had 2 airfryers with plastic components in the last 3 years and had issues with the plastic handle parts becoming heat affected and snapping off) so was really excited to see you review this type of airfryer which we were umming and ahhing about but because of your review (comprehensive as always!) I can see that this design is probably the way to go for what we need our air fryer to do so thankyou for this you really need to be sponsored for this type of content. Would like to see how the humble chip both frozen and fresh comes out compared to the basket fryer that would be good to see. :)

I live on my own and I do have a main oven but hardly ever use it since I started using table top versions, it just makes sense and saves on the pennies. Have a great day.

[@naomihurley9364]

A huge plus of the air fryer is that it would use a lot less energy than your whole oven. So even in dishes where there wasn't much taste difference (like that slow cooked meal), you can feel good that you have been a little bit more energy efficient :)

[@Sophie-go4rj]

In the U.S we have the exact same air fryer as this Sage one, but it is from Breville. Instead of a crumpet setting we have a bagel setting, but the rest is all the same! I also SWEAR by that air fryer. It is expensive, but I swear it is 100% worth every penny!

In Japan bread is numbered according to how thick the slices are. Higher numbers denote thinner slices. That could be why the toast cooked less on higher numbers.

I don't feel like packing it back in the box and re-ordering. *Sometimes life is a pain ... but TU on the video!* But I got to find some crumpets, I had muffins but never had crumpets. Tip for quick great tasting pizza. Don't buy that frozen cracker cardboard bread pizza in a box. When I don't make my own pizza dough I use tortillas ... place one tortillas on the bottom pan spread your cheese ... place another tortillas on top of that and spread your sauce and your favorite topping plus some more cheese. So much better and quicker (6-9 min) than a frozen pizza in a box.
