Solid, Reliable, and Constantly Used!
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Renee C
I’ve put this little oven to work pretty much every day since I got it, and it hasn’t let me down once. It heats fast, cooks evenly, and doesn’t make a big production out of anything. I’ve used it for quick breakfasts, reheating leftovers, roasting veggies, and plenty of “I’m not firing up the big oven for this” meals. It handles all of it without fuss.
The size is perfect, the controls make sense, and the results are consistent. It’s become the appliance I reach for first because it just works and saves me time. If you want something dependable that actually earns its spot on the counter, this is it!

It's slick

I love this Chef IQ oven and I think you will too. I haven't bought the dedicated thermometer that goes with it for cooking meat. I have primarily used it for many kinds of toast and for cooking stew on the slow cooker setting. I look forward to other uses. I have an air fryer that I love so I don't know that I'll use it for that but as a very versatile oven with convenient presets, I think it's fabulous.

Unboxing With One Glitch
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: David arthur B
Unboxing the mini oven and pairing it with Bluetooth was easy. Activating the warranty was impossible. The warranty activation requires a model number, but it will not let you enter your model number. Instead, it inserts a number that doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the appliance.

Works well but pulls a lot of power
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Adrianna C
The air fry and toast functions work really well. I love the baking trays also. But this unit pulls so much power to operate that it makes the lights in my refrigerator flicker, as well as the ceiling fan lights. It’s almost too powerful. No other air fryer ever did that. Also, the app seems kind of useless if you don’t buy the (sold separately) thermometers.

Game Changer
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Andrew M
This little chef has been a game changer and life saver. Talk about product that really ups the game and for the right price. Constantly doing firmware updates to provide new data to allow for a better user experience had been fantastic.

Much better than my previous oven
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Neill J
The Chefiq Mini-Oven was a Christmas gift to myself. My OMNI Oven had seen many years of use. I had used my ChefiQ Temperature probes for several years and when I saw the Min-Oven available, with software that could be used with my Temperature Probes and Smartphone, I knew what I needed to purchase. The price was too much for my retiree budget. Eventually the price was lowered to what I could afford. There's no "manual" for how to use the smartphone software, but the Support Team has been excellent via email to address my "problems" with using the oven.

Multi purpose oven does it all
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Edward R
We bought this to replace a tired Breville and we're so happy with our decision. Not only is the oven fast heating and accurate temperature settings it looks great doing it.
Features like high broil, airfry and proofing makes our big oven almost obsolete. The handy app provides everything for cooking new recipes to toast.
