[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galanz 4-1 is the best yet, it saves so much room in my kitchen. The Galanz is a microwave, toaster oven, conventional oven and an air fryer all in one. You can cook anything in it and it comes out perfect, I was very surprised that the meat and veggies I cooked in it was tender and tasted so much better than cooking in a regular oven. It's such a game changer for very active people who want a good healthy meal . This is the best and will keep using for every meal I prepare for my family and friends.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product's design is high-quality and well made. However I will warn that it is a bit bigger than we thought it would be. It still fits where our old microwave was but it's significantly deeper so it kind of hangs over the edge of the table we have it on.
The microwave plate is a little hard to place/fit and wobbles when it rotates. There is a bit of a learning curb switching over to this type of product, however all the buttons and instructions are pretty straightforward and easy to figure out. I do like the turn-knob feature for the timer. Certainly gives the whole product a slicker look and user experience.
I baked a small batch of cookies in it last night using the baking feature. It seemed to do the trick, however the heat disbursement seemed to be uneven. As seen in the photo, one side of the cookies was starting to over-bake while the opposite side was a little under-baked. However the cookies themselves tasted just fine and the texture seemed to be on-par with a normal oven.
As a microwave itself, it functions just fine. One small annoyance is that if you want to add more time to whatever you're heating, you have to open the door first before it allows you to add additional time. Maybe there's a way around this, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
Overall a nice product, will be handy to keep things warm or possibly prepare small/personal dishes. It would be a perfect product for someone living in a small space. However it definitely doesn't replace a normal oven and I wouldn't rely heavily on it if you want aesthetically-pleasing baked goods.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galanz 4-1 convection oven with an air fryer, toaster oven, and microwave all in one is a great product. This takes the place of so many appliances. I like that it cooks at 360* degrees for an evenly cook. I placed a pizza in it to see exactly how it would cook and to my surprise it did really well!! I really like the control panel because if you're not sure of how long to cook the control panel let's you select what you are cooking, you may have to give or take a little on the cooking panel to your liking. I do think it's a little big, 1.2 cubic foot, so it does take up a little more space but like I mentioned above, you can use this for multiple appliances so all other appliances can be stored to make room. Overall my experience is that this really cooks well so the size isn't that big of an issue. I'm looking forward to cooking and reheating more foods in this nice appliances.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Appliance, So Many Functions
on April 1, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galanz Toastwave 4-in-1 Functional Oven is a pretty amazing appliance. First of all, it's very nice looking. A little big, but fit easily into the spot where my I kept my previous microwave. And it really doesn't need a whole ton of open space on the sides and top- just 2" on each side and 8" on top.
First of all, I'll say that I do have a couple of issue with it, so I'd probably give 4.5 stars if I could. But I didn't feel like the cons outweighed the awesome stuff about it enough to give it a 4. So let me get the cons off my chest first, just to get it out of the way. There are a couple of things I am not crazy about. The instructions are a bit too basic. Not even that so much, because they do explain how to use every function and they're generally easy to understand. But they lack "tips" to get you started with actually cooking something with it. (You know how most appliance instructions will have some recipes or hints.) And they lack good explanation of using the accessories. Like you get this silicone mat with it, and it doesn't really explain what it's for, other than in the section of the instructions related to the microwave, it shows the mat at the top, under "accessories." It doesn't say whether you HAVE TO use it all the time when microwaving, or just what it's for. And air frying. It tells you to use the air fry rack that comes with it, and how to set the time, but no hints about how to actually air fry foods. Like, do you add any oil and if so, how much? I guess it assumes that the user is already experienced with air frying, however this type of air frying is different than what most people would've have used with a dedicated air frying device. I did find a video on YouTube that is a little more beneficial, as far as instructions, and it's done by the company itself. So that helped. And YES, you do have to use the silicone mat all the time when using it as a microwave. I'm guessing that it's maybe because the turntable is metal and may get hot enough to crack the glass plates or dishes you might be microwaving your food on/in? But that's just a guess. So just use it!
And then the one other thing that kind of annoys me is that the way the turntable is made. It sits on the base via a molded shape in the metal piece in the middle. The problem is, the indented spot in the turntable is a little bigger than the base, so it's doesn't fit completely tight and so, it has some jiggle room. The base piece that it sits on it like an unglazed ceramic material, and I can see already that it's got rubbings from the bottom of the turntable on it, and the turntable has a few scratches from rubbing the wrong way on that piece. I've noticed a clunking sound when it's running, and I'm guessing that's what it is. And I've been careful to be sure that I have it set in there just right, so I'm not sure why this is an issue.
Lastly, my experience with toasting a bagel, seems that the toasting function takes a little longer than with a regular toaster. (I expand on this more below.)
Okay, so those couple of things out of the way, let's get to the awesome stuff. This thing has more features than I will probably every use. It's pretty amazing, all that it can do. But it's different than other toaster ovens and counter top ovens I've used. There's no oven rack and everything is cooked on the non-stick turntable. Pretty neat design. So when you make toast or bagels, you lay them right on the turntable. They do toast evenly, but it takes a little longer than a regular toaster. I toasted some bagel thins and selected "1" even though I had 1 1/2. (I figured since they were the "thins," they wouldn't take as long as a regular bagel.) The time came up as 8 minutes and I though "No way." I kept checking them, and it probably didn't help, me opening the door so many times, but I finally took them out at 6 minutes. They were toasted, but not really browned on top, so I probably should've left them for the full 8 minutes. But it's very even toasting and it is nice to get rid of a separate toaster, even if it does take a little longer this way. And because they're laying right on a solid, nonstick surface, there aren't crumbs falling everywhere. And no crumb tray to keep cleaning. I like that!
The turntable is just the right size for a 12" frozen pizza. How perfect is that?! I don't have one on hand in my freezer, but I can't wait to give that function a try! (If we weren't under the stay home orders right now, I'd have run out and gotten one already.) The pizza function has 4 pre-set temps you can choose from- 400 (default), 425, 350, 375. Which is also neat.
So, what else does it do? Well, it bakes, broils, has a convection oven feature, and of course all of the microwave functions. The turntable locks, if you want it to sit solid in one place rather than spinning, while baking. Also a nice feature. I am planning on cooking a small roast in it this afternoon, but without it having an oven rack, I'll have to use a baking dish that fits on the turntable. Which is okay because I still find the whole design of cooking everything on the turntable pretty neat. Think of how when you use your oven, how some things overflow and drip down and you have to clean that. Everything with this will stay on the non-stick turntable. No dripping below.
Then there are the microwave functions. Wow. This thing actually has a sensor cook setting where you can tell it what you are microwaving, and it senses by the steam generated by the food, when it's done. It will do that with cooking and also with reheating. I've never heard of such a thing until now! Of course you can also use it like a regular microwave, choosing the power level and number of minutes. I used it to reheat some meatloaf, just manually choosing the number of minutes, and it reheated it from frozen in a lot faster than my previous little microwave. I was pretty happy with that.
Yes, there is a popcorn button. As well as the +30 secs button. (Which I use a lot.) And a child lock.
Also, the clock is easy to set, and you can use the timer just as a timer, even when not using the oven or microwave. I read some other reviews that said the clock didn't keep good time, but so far it's kept time for me just fine.
The best part is the big, round, silver button you see in the pics. That button basically does it all. At first it looks intimidating, with all of the buttons to press and the big silver button that dials, and also presses. But it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. So much of it is pre-programmed, as far as times for certain foods. And, there's a timetable for cooking certain foods right on the panel when you open the door.
All in all, this is a beautiful appliance with so many amazing innovations. And being able to use it to do some baking in place of turning on my big oven will save on electricity. I would definitely recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What a Game changer
on April 2, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This right here is definitely a game changer in the kitchen, I could go on and on about this product. There is so many good things about it. I can't believe it is 4-1 multifunctionality. It's an air fryer, convection oven, microwave, and toaster oven all in one! It has plenty of room to make your perfect meal for the family. It can make so many healthier meals when air frying. This thing has sensor cooking so your food is never under or over cooked. The toaster is awesome to, I have made toast a few times and it comes out perfect, nice and toasty and you can set it how light or dark you like your toast. Cooks bagels also to a perfection. It comes with a silicone mat, baking and roasting pan, ceramic shaft, and air fry kit. It has an easy to read display screen and a variety of pre-set cooking settings. It is very easy to clean also after using. This product is made very well and I'm sure it will last a long time. I have made a couple pizzas in it already but the first one I went by the pre-set for pizzas and it cooked to long, so for now I just cook about 9 minutes. Chicken nuggets, fish sticks, and fries come out so good after air frying them. I love just all the features about it. Nice design and stylish. I really like it and with this 4-1 I can have extra counter space by removing my toaster and air fryer. I really do recommend this product if your are looking for a great appliance that does so many things in one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Truly does it all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when my microwave finally gave out on me. Was concerned it would be a bit over featured, but I've been using it for about a month now and it's AMAZING. I have two roommates and one of them loves to use the oven for frozen food - pizza, wings, etc. This thing heats up in a few minutes, and puts out way less heat than the gas oven. The microwave is great for all typical microwave tasks like reheating and popcorn popping. Overall I'm very happy to try a combo appliance like this and feel it's a good execution of the idea. Would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, so I’m a single guy with basically no cooking skills but I tell you this thing is great. I’ve been dying to use the air fryer function and let me tell you it does not disappoint. I made some wings and fries with no oil that turned out amazing I can’t wait to use every function.

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galanz 4 in 1 oven is the best!! It has giving me so much more counter space. The instructions for use are very detailed and has lots of great features. The large digital display is easy to read and alot of the cooking settings are already preset. This is definately worth purchasing. Its very easy to use, has lots features and super easy to clean. The only downfall to me is if the heating element goes, you have to call customer service to order another one. You can't just go to the store and purchase one. Great value!! This is definately one appliance I would recommend for any kitchen.
