Our verdict

A feature-heavy air fryer oven for families who want grilling, rotisserie and dehydrating in one tall unit. It is heavy, and the grill grate is one more part to clean.

Overview

Grilling, roasting and air frying all happen inside the Nuwave Brio, a tall air fryer oven with a top-mounted fan driving hot air down over the food. A plug-in grill grate adds direct heat for char marks, and a rotisserie basket and skewer turn whole birds.

The plug-in grill sets it apart, putting heated elements right under the food for char instead of relying only on blown air. The deep preset and memory system takes some learning before it feels quick.

Who it's for

Households cooking whole chickens, wings and grilled steaks for several people get one appliance for most of it. Light users with small counters will find it heavy and more than they need.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Plug-in grill grate adds char
  • Rotisserie basket and skewer included
  • Temperature probe in the box
  • Low range covers dehydrating
Cons
  • Heavy unit to move
  • Many presets to learn
  • Warranty not listed
  • Grill grate adds cleanup

Performance notes

A top-mounted fan pushes hot air down while bottom heating tubes work from below, so heat reaches food from both sides. The grill grate adds contact heat from embedded elements, and drain channels carry fat away from the food. The probe reads internal temperature, which matters more than the clock for roasts and whole birds.
