It's massive, yet somehow compact!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is like having an actual oven on your countertop, but smaller! It has a huge space to cook a large quantity of food, but is still compact enough to not take up much room and is easily moved around when needed. The oven aspect of this works just like a regular oven, allowing you to cook just about anything that you could cook in a normal oven as long as it'll fit. The air fryer feature in this is fantastic as well, it made everything I put in it so crispy and delicious without the use of very much oil at all if any. The 2 in 1 capability of this appliance is so great because you don't have to take up counter space with a bunch of different machines. I've cooked chicken, french fries, roasted potatoes, broccoli, pork chops, cookies and many other things in this so far and everything has come out perfect! I'm so glad I got this and i highly recommend you give it a try as well!

Learning curve but a great appliance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Elite Gourmet Air Fryer / Oven.
First I just want to say I hate everything about frying foods. From the smell to the grease splatters to trying to dispose of the used grease when the time comes.
That said I was pretty intrigued seeing air fryers but I equally hate clutter and my counters being taken up by big appliances so I put off having one for awhile.
Firstly I think its important to note that the elite gourmet isn't just a air fryer. Its also a counter top oven to bake, a toaster and it can broil.
So far here is what I've cooked in so far
Chicken Nuggets & Tater Tots
Fresh Hamburger Patty's for cheeseburgers
Mozerella sticks
A hotpocket
Cookies
This review is honestly a mix of love it and hate it.
Firstly I'm not fond of the size but its necessary for its functions. It can also be stored away when not being used.
The chicken nuggets and tots turned out great tasted like fast food. Super happy with those.
Hamburger Patty's were different. Grease was non existent on the patty which while nice made them a little dry however they cooked within 10 mins and tasted great.
The cookies- 6 mins at 350 degrees First batch raw on top- burnt on bottom . Second bath cooked but more crispy than we like.
Hotpocket -
fail burnt frozen on inside still
fail burnt frozen on inside still
Mozerella sticks - good but cheese started to ooze through basket grate openings had to pick up the hot cheese sticks fast and quickly.
Onion rings -best o rings ever!
Overall it's a good appliance. It cooks the food as it says it does, but theres definitely a learning curve to it. The book thats included has recipes and cook times definitely helps a ton.
Overall not a bad buy just a learning curve and its not meant to cook everything you do on the stove and oven. I'll definitely be sticking to my griddle for cheeseburgers. But for nuggets frys or onions rings this is the only thing ever cooking them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Fryer Oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so let me tell you about this amazing elite gourmet xl air fryer oven!! This is the best kitchen appliance I have purchased in a long time! It comes with a wire rack, air fryer basket, bake pan, and a removable tray that catches crumbs. I am so pleased to be writing this review. I would recommend to any family looking to cook at home, camping, or vacations. It had 6 functions which is cool. The functions are air fry, convection broil, broil, convection toast, convection bake, and bake. I cooked chicken leg quarters in it the first time I got it and they cooked all the way through in half the normal cooking time which was a plus. It did smoke a little at first but stopped. It is easy to function. You can also put all 3 racks in at the same time and cook multiple things. I like that it has a light switch so you can see your food cooking.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty solid AirFryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I've had a lot of air fryers over the years - this one marks the sixth one, so I've had a lot of experience with them. Broken down into the good things and bad things:
Good things:
Size - this oven is a perfect size for a family. Its big enough for most meals - fits up to a whole chicken or a whole bag of fries
Good things:
Size - this oven is a perfect size for a family. Its big enough for most meals - fits up to a whole chicken or a whole bag of fries
Shape - this is the most important thing for us is the shape - the ones that are round bucket designs arent great for getting everything cooked the same because you have to stack everything on top of each other - here the Elite really shines because everything can get spread out on the various racks and cooks everything evenly
Speed - there really isnt a pre-heat period - it gets to temp so fast that if you let it heat for just a minute its at temp. It also cooks things VERY fast in the airfry mode. Fries in about 6-8 minutes easy
Options - there are a LOT of options here. You can bake, air fry, toast, convection, broil etc. There are a bunch of modes depending on what you want to cook
Build - it is built really well, the knobs turn nice, the door opens well and the light is bright
Clean up - it is really easy to clean up - the only thing is the door doesnt come off
Not so good:
Analog Timer - I mean what?? Its an old school egg timer that counts down - where it really sucks is that in most cases you need times less than 10 minutes - with this it is near impossible to tell the difference between 4 minutes and 8 minutes - but that makes a huge difference in air fry mode.

Cookies - no matter how we tried cookies just didnt bake correctly - didnt spread and the bottoms were dark
Overall it is our favorite airfryer to date.

Better cooking
on November 4, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say Elite Gourmet X-Large 25L Air Fryer Oven with Interior Light is a better than those round size air fryer where space is less food gets piled up ,losing the air frying purpose. This is a well designed fryer ,has ample space to cook all types of food in less oil. Not only air frying ,I can bake ,toast as well. The food comes out better each time specially potato fries, veggies fries ,they are always crispy. I baked frozen biscuits, home made fries, cookies. This cooks faster and I can see through while it bakes just like a normal oven, which is great and not possible in other air fryers. Its a big fryer hence you need a dedicated space in your kitchen counter top. My only critic which is surely a big problem that the letters on the knob controls are too small and faintly written that you would need a magnifier glass or reading glasses to read. Its a huge problem for me as my kitchen does not have natural light so initially I had to use flash light alongwith the reading glasses to read the temperature and other details on the knobs. Also the knobs are very tight and takes a lot effort to turn them. I can not recommend this fryer to elderly people. If these can be improved then this could be a highly recommended fryer for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
