Nuwave Oven Pro Plus Air Fryer, Infra-Red Countertop - Fast Cooker

In this review of the Nuwave Oven Pro Plus Air Fryer, the bottom line is straightforward: this countertop convection oven is for busy cooks who want the convenience of cooking fresh or frozen meals without defrosting or lengthy preheating. The reviewer found the Pro Plus especially useful for quick weeknight dinners, reheating, and whole-bird roasting, thanks to its combo of conduction, convection and infra-red heating that promises faster cook times and energy savings. For households that value speed, crisp results and cleaner cooking, this oven delivers most of what it promises.

Key Features

• Cook from frozen: The Pro Plus cooks foods directly from the freezer without defrosting or preheating, saving time on busy nights.
• Triple cooking modes: Conduction, convection and infra-red work together to brown the exterior while cooking the interior for crisp, juicy results.
• Energy efficient: The unit is designed to cook up to 50% faster than a conventional oven and uses up to 85% less energy for everyday meals.
• PFAS free: The updated cooking surfaces are PFAS free for a healthier cooking option and peace of mind.
• Precision temperature control: Linear Thermal Technology monitors and adjusts temperature continuously to keep results consistent.
• Large preset library: One hundred programmed menu presets and 50 memory settings make repeat meals and frozen cooking straightforward.

Who It's For

The Pro Plus is well suited to families and individuals who need a versatile, high-capacity countertop oven that cooks quickly and handles frozen foods without extra steps. It works well for people who want crisp textures on meats and vegetables, and for those who appreciate pre-programmed menus and on-the-fly adjustment of time and temperature.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need oven temperatures above the Pro Plus highest setting or who require a small, compact device for very limited counter space. If you need precision baking at very high temperatures or a built-in oven replacement, a full-size conventional oven may be a better fit.
