Disappointed
on September 1, 2026
Posted by: KKkk
I was gifted this air fryer Christmas 2025 and by June/July 2026 it wasn't functioning as it should anymore. I can still technically use the air fryer, but the safety features of pausing when the basket is removed and not being able to turn on until the basket is inserted, do not work. My air fryer can be started without the basket inserted and continues to run when I remove the basket to flip food when it is supposed to pause. I reached out to them and they said they couldn't replace it and suggested I buy a new one, no thanks. Disappointed this only lasted 6 months operating as it was supposed to, would not buy it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this air fryer. It heats quickly, the nonstick interior is great and easy to clean. The food capacity is enough for 2 people, and the controls are easy to use. I love that it has a window and light that turns on to see how the food looks while cooking.

Hello, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing temperature control issues with your Oster® Digital Air Fryer with Window, and we’d like to help you get the best performance from your appliance.
Here are a few tips that may help stabilize the cooking temperature:
Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes before adding food. This allows the internal heating element and fan to reach the correct cooking temperature and helps maintain consistency during the cooking cycle.
Avoid overfilling the basket. When food is packed too tightly, airflow can be restricted, which may cause uneven heating or temperature fluctuations. For best results, cook food in a single layer whenever possible.
Check the basket and tray placement. Make sure the basket is fully inserted and properly aligned. If the basket is not seated correctly, the appliance may not regulate heat as expected.
Give the unit enough space around it. Ensure there are at least a few inches of clearance on all sides of the air fryer so the ventilation system can work properly. Blocked airflow can affect temperature performance.
Clean the interior and basket regularly. Grease buildup on the heating area or basket can impact heat distribution over time.
If the temperature still seems out of control after trying these steps, the unit may need additional inspection. Our customer support team would be happy to assist with troubleshooting or warranty options.

Hello Dope! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us — we understand how confusing it can feel when the instructions don’t clearly explain the preheating process.
The Oster® Digital Air Fryer with Window does preheat, but it doesn’t require a separate preheat button. Once you select your cooking temperature and press Start, the unit automatically begins heating to reach the set temperature before cooking your food. A few tips that can help: 1. Let the air fryer run for 3–5 minutes at your chosen temperature before adding food if a recipe calls for preheating. 2. Make sure the basket is inserted during preheating so the heat circulates properly. 3. If you notice uneven cooking, giving it that short preheat time can help improve results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family loved this Oster Air Fryer! It’s so convenient and cooks food hot fresh and to perfection! It’s really quiet and not loud at all like most air fryers. It’s easy to clean and has timers that make it easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this air fryer for a while now, and it’s still one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. It makes cooking so much faster and easier—no preheating, no babysitting the stove, and way fewer dishes (which is always a win).
I use it for everything—crispy Brussels sprouts, roasted salmon, fries (obviously), and even the occasional late-night snack. The presets make it super convenient, and I love how evenly it cooks without needing tons of oil. Plus, it has great safety features like auto shut-off and a cool-touch handle, and cleanup is a breeze since the basket and tray are dishwasher-safe.
Honestly, I don’t think I could go back to life without it. If you have any must-try air fryer recipes, drop them below because I’m always looking for new things to throw in this magical little machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oster is a tried and true brand in our household so I was so excited to try out this air fryer. And it did not disappoint! The size is the perfect mix of small enough to keep on the counter without looking out of place, yet the cooking capacity is big enough to hold enough food for 2-3 people (depending on the item.) I love, love, love the window that allows me to see my food cooking without the need to pause and open the drawer. Finally, cleaning is a breeze. As I said- Oster did it again! Love our new air fryer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 4.2-quart air fryer is a solid mid-sized option for small families or individuals looking to cook healthier meals with less oil. It provides enough capacity to prepare meals for 2–4 people, making it ideal for snacks, sides, and smaller main dishes.
