Nuwave 20201 Analog-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those who purchase the Nuwave Oven usually have in mind a healthier, cleaner, and more efficient way to cook. The Nuwave does indeed deliver on these counts. It is a healthy alternative to conventional ovens in that it eliminates more saturated fatty oils than they do. It is cleaner in that the clean up time in considerably less than with a standard oven. And it is more efficient than a standard oven in that the combination of convection/infrared styles of heating do produce a tastier result. Now having said that, the potential purchaser must consider areas that one might not think of until too late. First, the sturdiness and quality of the device is inherently far less than that of either a standard oven or a microwave. Even for those reviewers who rave about their experiences all too often report control quality issues after the first year of use. In many cases the device simpy ceases to function. This brings me to number two: Repair costs are prohibitive. In fact it is cheaper to buy a new unit than to fix the old one. The warranty does not cover beyond the standard period. Finally, the Nuwave does work well but only on one type of food at a time. If you were to cook meat and vegetables together, the result would be that the former turned out well but not the latter. A minor note is that the instructions and cooking suggestions are both poorly worded and at times incomprehensible. The bottom line is that the Nuwave Oven is probably a good deal for those who do not plan to use it for more than one year and intend to cook only one type of food at a time.

Fagor 12 Quart Halogen Tabletop Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am rating this 3 stars because it cooks very well, crisps the outside of foods and cooks fast. BUT, it doesn't get 5 stars because the attachment of the top handle just isn't robust enough and it is likely to break. The lid is heavy. With my first one of these, the handle attachment to the lid broke on the second day. When I got it fixed, the other side of the handle attachment broke a few days later. I consider it to be a design flaw. The handle itself is a bit weak and it attaches to the lid with 2 little plastic 'knobs' that insert into the lid. But they really are not designed strong enough our thick enough and they break off. If they would design the handle to be stronger, they would have a much better product. If yours breaks, they can send you a replacement, if you keep your information and order number AND YOU MAY ALSO NEED THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND SHIPPING BOX, SO SAVE THEM. If it is out of warranty, I don't think the handle would be too hard to fix by drilling a 1/8th inch hole through the handle from both sides and inserting a 6 inch long, 1/8th inch diameter metal 'dowel' or 'pin' or long screw to extend all the way through the top, and from one side of the handle to the other. The top of the lid has enough room for a 'dowel' like this, and this would replace the weak 'knobs' that are on the handle now. The handle is essential as part of the 'switch' that turns the oven on and off. If it breaks, you could tape it in place to keep it fixed in the 'on' position, so that the oven works, but who wants their nice cooker to sit on the counter with the handle taped on? In addition, the trouble is, the lid heats up and you really need the handle to lift the lid and take it off, easily. Maybe your handle will hold up better, but be gentle with it. Other than that, I can't say enough about how amazingly this thing cooks.
Addendum:I got another lid, but the first time I used it, the handle fell off. Luckily, it didn't break this 3rd time, so I was able to put it back on. The trouble is, the lid is heavy glass and it contains the fan motor and heating elements. When the oven runs, the lid is hot, so when you take it off, you can't just set it directly on a counter top, since it may cause damage. After looking at the whole assembly for a while, I decided there are several things you can do. First, don't use the `lid holder' that comes with the set. To set the lid on the holder requires you to turn the lid sideways and that puts more pressure on just one arm of the handle. If you must use the holder, then lift the lid with two hands - one hand on the handle, and one hand on the black plastic part of the lid, which isn't hot. This extra support will help protect the handle much more than just lifting by the handle itself. But a better choice is to either have 2 hot pads ready, on the counter top, to set the lid on, OR, just use the metal extender ring that comes with the oven and set the lid directly on top of it, on the counter. If you do it this way, you can just lift the lid straight up and down, with one hand, and by not turning it sideways, you avoid the extra stress on the handle. I still think it is a great oven and I am happy with it. I can recommend it, as long as you understand the difficulties that you can have with the lid. I just wish the handle were designed stronger.
