Benefits & Use Cases
This multi-functional oven excels in real-world kitchen scenarios where flexibility and efficiency matter most. Air fry enthusiasts will appreciate how it crisps chicken wings, fries, and veggies using little to no oil—delivering that satisfying crunch without the guilt. Home bakers love its ability to produce golden-brown cookies, muffins, and bread with consistent texture thanks to even heat circulation. For those who regularly roast meats or vegetables, the large interior allows for batch cooking without overcrowding. The Bagel function toasts both sides evenly, while the Dehydrate setting preserves fruits, herbs, or jerky with precise temperature control. Even leftovers benefit from the Reheat mode, which restores warmth without turning cold dishes soggy. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for apartments, dorm rooms, or small kitchens where bulkier appliances aren’t feasible. Plus, the combination of speed, capacity, and multiple functions reduces reliance on stovetops and microwaves—streamlining meal preparation from start to finish.
Important Notes
User experiences highlight strong performance across several core functions, particularly praising reliable toasting and effective air frying results. Many note that the oven performs well for everyday tasks like reheating pizza or making bagels, delivering consistent outcomes. However, some customers observe that cooking times may run longer than expected when compared to dedicated air fryers or toaster ovens, especially for thinner items like toast. Feedback on heat distribution varies slightly depending on recipe type and rack placement, though overall satisfaction remains high among users prioritizing versatility over ultra-fast cycle times. Build quality receives mixed reviews—some report sturdy construction, while others note minor concerns about durability over extended use. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for best results, including preheating when recommended and avoiding overloading the cavity. The included removable crumb tray simplifies maintenance, but additional accessories such as specialized racks or drip pans are not specified beyond standard components. As with any high-heat appliance, exercise caution when accessing internal surfaces or removing trays immediately after use due to residual heat.

Great air fryer oven
We bought this as a gift for my in-laws for Christmas. We have a different brand, but similar one, and I really liked the size of this one. It has several settings, is a great quality, and is easy to use. I know it’s something little, but I especially like the feel of the silicone backed handled on the front. This is perfect for the two of them.
Andrea –
Perfect!
Works great, just as described!

Great Little Oven. Wished it would have lasted longer
I love, love, love this oven and it would gave got five stars if it had lasted longer. Most toaster ovens get gross before they wear out. This one just slowly stopped working. We had it for 2.5 years. It’s on its last legs.We used it for air frying fish and chicken bites, we made cookies, used the air fryer for pizza as well as the non stick baking pan, we used it to toast and do bagels and even make Tortilla pizzas with the toaster setting. We even baked Cornish Hens in it and it turned out great!I use this oven daily, so maybe it explains the reason it wore out. I will probably buy again in spite of it only lasting a couple years. But was my favorite toaster over ever.I live in a small space (a catamaran), and so I even store bread in it when cool.

Oven is well built & sturdy – Problem with Broil function
Love the color, functions, and sturdy door, accessories and ease of use. Unfortunately the toast and Broil functions need some program updates. The toast times are too long, and not adjustable! Level 4 at 6.5 minutes is burnt and Level 3 at 3.5 minutes is not long enough for an English Muffin. All of the presets reached 425 or 450 degrees F, except for Broil. The Broil function never went off of PRE-HEAT. We waited over 45 minutes to cook a steak, and itnever reached 425 Degrees. I used a Digital probe thermometer, and Internal oven thermometer, the Broil function never reached over 400 Degrees. All other functions, including Air-Fry reached over 450 Degrees, but took over 20 minutes to get there. I contacted Calphalon 3-days after my purchase, and they informed me that the Broil Pre-Heat issue was a know bug in the timer, and that I should return the oven. I was very disappointed.I am trying another oven, and will update my review after testing.

Great addition to kitchen!
The oven is very helpful when cooking in the summer or if you need to bake 2 different dishes at different temperatures. I use this for a lot of things like toast or reheat food.

Burnt Toast
The oven looks great! And I was very excited to try it out after being disappointed by a couple other very popular toaster ovens. This is not a complete review, but just my initial thoughts on using the oven for the past few weeks. I’ve got a couple gripes about this oven that will most likely end in me returning it. But I have a call scheduled with the manufacturer this morning to see if my issues with the oven can be resolved.1. The cook timer does not auto start after the oven is preheated. So when you put your food item in the oven, select the proper function, and then press the start button, the oven begins it’s pre-heat. The preheat may take another 5-10min, at which time you have to return to the oven and press the start button again to actually start the cook timer. I would expect the oven auto start the timer after pre-heating is complete so that you don’t have to come back to the oven after it preheats. This would also help avoid burning your food if you don’t know or forget that you have to press the start button again once the oven is preheated. I feel like this is a safety risk as the food item could be burned up in the oven and potentially lead to a fire.2. The “Toaster” function cannot be adequately adjusted. You can only pick a “Shade” level. You cannot precisely pick the amount of time you want to toast. So for example, the “Shade” level 3 barely toasts the bread…it toasts for 3.5min. You can hardly tell it is toasted. If you select “Shade” 4, it toasts for 6.5min and burns the bread. And there is no in between setting for this. I can’t adjust the time other than going to the next shade level. So if you want medium toast, your screwed. Interestingly, going from “Shade” 2 to 3 or 4 to 5 only adds a minute or less of toasting time. Why going from level 3 to 4 adds a whole 3min I do not understand….I am no toast engineer, ha! I have included pictures for a level 3 and 4 “Shade” of toast….level 3 is barely toasted and level 4 is completely burnt toast. I do hope this can be resolved.3. I have tested the “Air Fry” setting on some French fries and tater tots, neither seemed to cook any differently than just baking them. I am new to Air Fryers and that setting I feel may just be another marketing gimmick. But I may be doing it wrong, but I did follow the instructions. The convection air fan that is used for the Air Fry function does make a noise that makes me feel that the fan may be bad…it is not a smooth sounding fan if that makes sense.Like I said, I have a call with the manufacturer this morning. We’ll see if they call me and are able to provide a resolution.****Review Update****11/23/20: Customer Service never called at the time we scheduled. I had to email them and let them know to call about my issues with the oven. They called the next day….no big deal, but. After discussing my issues with the oven, the customer support representative told me the behavior I was experiencing was not normal and that she would send me a replacement oven. I received the new oven today, excitedly opened the box, eager to test it out again, only to find that it is the wrong model(picture attached). They sent the model that does not have the air fry function!…ha! After reading that at least one other customer has experienced similar issues to what I experienced, I’m thinking that my experience was not just a fluke experience. It seems it may be a design/engineering issue. I’ll be returning this oven and cancelling the order. We are very disappointed, my wife and I loved the look of this oven….but more importantly it’s got to function properly.****Review Update****11/24/20: I just finished a phone call with Calphalon Support, explaining that they sent the wrong replacement toaster oven to replace the one I have already sent back that was having the issues. While the gentleman I was talking to was very nice, it took 55min to get them to email me a pre-paid shipping label to send the wrong one back to them, and to convince them to send the correct one. They wanted to first receive back the one they shipped in error before sending me the correct one. I explained that is unacceptable as they are the ones that sent the wrong toaster oven to begin with. The gentleman I worked with on the phone said he had to convince his supervisor that they should send the correct model without delay. They ended up processing a new order for the correct toaster oven with the air-fry function and said that it should be delivered within 5-8 days. I’ll have to wait and see if the replacement oven exhibits the same behavior…but my guess is that it will.

The best!
I am so happy I made the decision to purchase this item at such a spectacular price! I read practically every review and I was so worried that it would smell more than any new item would based on everyoneâs concern. However – I am thrilled to report – NO smell whatsoever! I literally plugged it in, held an inservice for the family and it is off and running! This is a more amped up version of the prior Calphalon toaster oven I had from 6 years ago and purchased at a lower price!
Kristin S –
It’s almost eerily quiet, you can barely tell if you’ve started the toaster. I’ll take it as a plus thoughI love the look of this in the black matte. There’s a lot of options for settings “toast, bake, air fry” etc that I probably won’t use beyond these ones but it’s a nice feature for some people. I just prefer as simple as you can go when it comes to ‘gadgets’ and that’s defiantly hard to find these days.Overall though it’s been a nice purchase and no regrets

Es mi primer horno pero estoy muy satisfecho con el resultado, en caso de que alguien se lo pregunte, las medidas internas (Usables) son 35 de ancho X 30 de profundidad X 15 de altura.Es decir, se pueden hacer pizzas de 30×30 perfectamente, con esas medidas y la configuracion “pizza” que tiene el horno se hacen en 17 minutos y quedan muy bien.

I had a wonderful Krups oven for almost 20 years. This isnât it but is certainly adequate.Unfortunately, it is a bigger oven.Biggest mistake was not ordering the more insulated version. This is extremely hot on the top surface. A danger if children can come in contact with it.
