Nuwave Oven Pro Plus Air Fryer Pro Plus 2 - Fast Freezer-to-Table

In this review the Nuwave Oven Pro Plus Air Fryer (Pro Plus 2) is evaluated for busy cooks who want fast, reliable results from fresh or frozen foods. The biggest reason to consider it is its freezer-to-table capability that cooks without defrosting or preheating while combining conduction, convection and infra-red heat for noticeably quicker cook times. It feels like a countertop oven built to replace multiple appliances by delivering crisp exteriors and tender interiors while using less energy than a conventional oven.

Key Features

• Cook from frozen without defrosting: The Pro Plus 2 lets users place frozen items straight in, saving prep time and letting meals go from freezer to table in one run.
• Triple combo cooking power: Conduction, convection and infra-red combine to sear outside while cooking evenly inside, reducing fat and concentrating flavor.
• Linear Thermal Technology: Continuous temperature monitoring adjusts heat every second to keep cooking stable and help deliver consistent results.
• Powerful convection fan: A top-mounted 4.5-in fan creates 360-degree surround heat circulation for even browning across a 12-in-ish cooking surface.
• 100 programmed presets and 50 memory slots: A large preset library covers grilling, roasting, baking and air frying, with memory for custom repeats.
• Durable Power Dome and PFAS free: The shatterproof dome resists heat and impact, and the cooking surfaces are PFAS free for safer meals.

Who It's For

The Pro Plus 2 is ideal for busy households that want a versatile countertop solution to cook whole chickens, steaks, vegetables and frozen items quickly without babysitting or preplanning. People who value crisp textures with less fat and those replacing a toaster oven and separate air fryer will appreciate its combination of functions and the large cooking area.

This is less well suited for users who need a very large oven for multiple sheet pans at once or those who require step-by-step app integration and smart-home controls; the unit focuses on straightforward physical controls and presets rather than connected features.

Pros & Cons
