Overview
A dome-style countertop oven that combines conduction, convection, and infra-red heat to cook fresh or frozen food without preheating or defrosting first, sold under Nuwave's Oven Pro Plus line.
Several reviewers describe using earlier NuWave ovens for over a decade, which points to a design with a track record for longevity across generations. One reviewer does push back that the marketing calls it an air fryer while the included brochure reportedly does not describe it that way.
- Combines conduction, convection, and infra-red heat in one dome oven
- 100 presets and 50 memory settings for repeat meals
- Linear Thermal Technology holds the set temperature through cooking
- PFAS free construction on this updated Pro Plus model
Who it's for
Good for anyone wanting a versatile countertop oven that skips preheating and handles frozen food directly, useful for daily cooking like pizza or reheating. Less suited to someone who specifically wants a basket-style air fryer, since this is a dome oven built around infra-red and convection heat rather than a fry basket.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Multiple reviewers say they have used earlier NuWave ovens for 15 years or more and bought this version to replace an aging one, describing it as easy to operate and effective at cooking without heating up the kitchen. One reviewer felt misled that the brochure does not actually describe it as an air fryer despite the name, and one unit reportedly arrived not working.
