   Perfect Toasrer Oven choice for any Home / Office, newlywed gift, or your Man Cave!
   This 2nd Gen – Instant Pot Omni Pro 19 QT/18L Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo is a definite ‘Must-Have’ for any office, studio kitchen, as a newlywed Gift, family & friends, or your Man Cave.Note – this was a replacement for the older 1st Gen, Instant Omni Pro 19QT/18L Toaster Oven Air Fryer, 14-in-1, which lasted exactly 1.5 years, under heavy-use.Over the past 12 years, I have always recommended the Breville Toaster oven’s, as they have always performed very well. Last January, my last medium-sized Breville was basically done after 5 years of heavy-duty use, so decided to look around for an upgrade, for my H/O. So, I purchased the 1st Gen Omni Toaster Oven.This is an update review for the 2nd Gen, which I find a much better oven than the 1st Gen (no longer available), primarily it does not over-heat, so the Temperature control is more precise..The Pro’s – has 10 Function’s yet to be discovered, or UN-covered, but, what also drew me to this unit is how Sleek and Modern it is and how it uses modern technology across it’s cooking schemes.By comparison with the Breville’s vs Instant Pot Omni Pro is like comparing a basic, over-sized toaster oven, even with a very good performance, vs, the quicker, time-saving, Energy saving’s Future technology, with this improved 2nd Gen model.This is more apparent with this 2nd gen, as it cook’s quicker, the new display has a large knob for adjusting Temperatures & Times, however the Main Menu remains the pretty much the same as the older one, so it’s familiar, and don’t need another “learning curve’. The end cycle alerts do not seem to be as loud as the older one. Also after a cooking cycle, it is much Cooler, than the older one, which probably explains the determent to the Display electronics, but not UN-like some of the Breville older model’s..The Con’s – Nothing to report, but will if there is an issue..Buy again? Definitely, with no reservation’s.Get one, and Gift one.DSM

   Most Used Kitchen Appliance
   Having used this product multiple times a day, nearly every day, since Jul 2022, I can easily say this is the most important kitchen appliance I have. It has saved me SO much time and made cooking fun again. It took some trial and error to understand that all the cooking times would be much less and that often the temperature had to be dropped by at least 25 degrees due to the constant convection (low on bake function). My only complaint is that it’s just not easy to clean, not even a little bit, especially if you’ve air fried some really juicy beef or wings. Cleaning with vinegar (as the maker recommends) doesn’t remove the baked on grease. The most luck I had was using a steam cleaner to melt off some of the gunk from the many nooks and crannies. BUT! Frozen pizzas and wings often cook perfectly in half the amount of time it would take in a traditional oven. You can make a small batch of cookies in no time and most small bakeware fits just fine. The rotisserie chicken function really works and it makes decent toast (but it takes at least five minutes). It really shines as an air fryer and oven and almost made me think we could let go of our microwave too as it even reheats leftovers very well. Wouldn’t want to live without it!

   Great oven with great customer support from Instant, too!
   We have enjoyed learning how to air fry as well as using all the other features of the spacious Omni Plus 18L model since we bought it as a Christmas gift to each other in Dec ’21. And use it we did, every day, and it worked beautifully and reliably for everything from cookies to roasts and all the air frying favorites… until about a week ago when for reasons still baffling to me (we never abused it), the main knob control decided it just didn’t want to do anything anymore — it was stuck in place, pressed in, and would no longer let us do anything with the oven. I haven’t seen that as a common issue with this brand… BUT, the main thing I want to mention is, even though it was long after the Amazon warranty had expired, the Instant website has a great customer support department — I wrote them about the problem, the next day they replied ready to help and asked a few more questions about what was going on, and then asking for a few pictures of the serial sticker and the problem (I sent video of the stuck knob), and screenshot of the purchase invoice… and the day after I sent all of that (very simple to get it all done), they told us they would simply be sending us a brand new unit, no charge or shipping, and it is already in the post and tracking number sent. That, to me, is prompt, helpful and customer-friendly support! Every correspondence was courteous, polite, to the point but not cold, in fact each one seemed very enthusiastic to get us back to cooking with Instant… and the last mail they sent referred to how happy they are to help and how happy they are to have loyal customers in the Instant Brands family. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but in this day and age of so much lousy or even non-existent support for so many electronic/electrical devices, it feels VERY good to know a company which has taken our hard-earned money actually reads, answers and FIXES problems for their customers. Gee, sometimes manufacturers care a little. Well done, Instant. An excellent model from an excellent company… from whom we will definitely be buying other products from now on.

   Nice unit
   Multi-functional unit that works as advertised. Clear instructions and controls make it easy to use. Temperature seems to be pretty accurate. Only problem found so far is that it beeps for just about anything. Not a real bother as the beeping is low volume. Accessories are nicely made and easy to use. Door fits good and keeps the heat in, which is a problem on some other units. The outside does get fairly hot, so placement needs to be considered.

   I purchased this for $250 CAD, which was not a sale price but much lower than the price on Instant’s website at the time, which was $250 USD.The oven is quite large on the outside, about the size of a typical microwave but taller (roughly 16 inches W x 14″ H x 14″ D). The manual says you should leave 5 inches of clearance above the unit, which I think should not be ignored since it does throw out quite a bit of heat from the top.I have been very pleased with customer support. I didn’t find the rotisserie spit in the box, which could be my own carelessness, not sure. They immediately sent me a replacement, no questions asked. I’ve been waiting until it arrived to make this review because I was curious to see how the rotisserie function worked.I was able to rotisserie a 1.5 kg chicken with no issues, and the result was incredible. Cleanup is a bit annoying since it can be hard to wipe down some of the inside parts near the elements. Overall very impressed. Other functions also work very well.The biggest concerns are 1) it always spends the same ~5 minutes preheating when you start it up, and you will have to re-“start it up” if you want to change any of the settings, such as temperature, cooking time, or function, after you started it initially. This makes it hard if you’re working with a vague recipe with an uncertain amount of time. 2) the toast function releases a little bit of smoke when you open it up, which can be alarming.Very happy with my purchase. It has replaced my regular oven for most things. I would note that while a 12″ pizza will just barely fit inside, a pizza stone for that size will just barely not fit.

   We already owned an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker as well as the IP Vortex Plus (best purchase of 2020!!) and were contemplating upgrading for a while. The Omni is bigger than the Vortex Plus, so serves more people, and is a true convection oven with top as well as bottom heating elements. We didn’t hesitate when the price dropped to approx $270 during Prime Day. It was delivered quickly and more than meets our expectations. It cooks a lot quicker than a conventional oven and is more economical in terms of electricity consumption. It is also healthier to airfry than to deep fry. We rarely ever use the big oven anymore. No need. We love the Omni Plus Airfryer! Appreciate the great support of the customer service provided as well, including tips and inquiries, as well as online IP community involvement and recipes. Great company!

   Love this , it works great!However the silver rack that’s supposed to hold a pot or something like that is a bit too small so as soon as you put something on it, either one or both sides fall off of the ledges it rests on.

   I had an 8 year old table top Moulinex convection oven that was getting long in the tooth and wasting energy due to poor insulation.This beauty has a reasonably well sealed door and works much faster than I expected. Be careful the first few times you use this oven as the cooking times will surprise you.Using it is quite straight forward and the display is excellent. As I am a hands on cook I seldom use presets with my appliances so I can’t really comment on that but the operation and quality of the end result is well worth the cost of this little guy. I got mine on a deal for about $300 but knowing how well this works I would pay more than that today.Air-frying is really fast – you must be careful as you can easily cremate food before you expect it.BTW – the best hot dog next to deep fried can be made with this product – in much less time than you would expect.Cleaning it isn’t all that easy, but I’ve found that cranking it up on air fry will get rid of most of the interior build-up.The Instant people provide recipes and support and the operation of the oven is easy-peasy . . . as long as you RTFB.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED – and my power bill has gone down $15 a month as I almost never use my full size oven any longer.

   Had the pampered chef air fryer and it quit on me about a year and half in. Love love the size of the instapot. It cooks amazing and even. It’s faster than the pampered so I do have to watch what I’m cooking but I’m sure I will get used to it. Super happy with this purchase
