Café - Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry - Matte Black

This amazing toaster oven has managed to let us take back some of our counter space while not having us compromise on cooking functions. It has a gorgeous design that will look great in most kitchens, the smart feature is something that I didn’t think I would use until I did, and it does a great job at making meal prep/cooking a breeze.

The best part about this oven is the menu system which is easy to navigate. It Cooks things very fast so you have to keep an eye on your food. This is a real benefit of course. However if you're coming from a traditional air fryer which is what we got this for, it can be very challenging because it's difficult to clean up. This makes it using it much more of a decision. You can get similar items like this for half the price we have the complete matching Appliance set so this was the only real option for my wife. My only other real complaint is the fact that the two top aright knobs are plastic and flimsy, for this price they should have been metal and much more sturdy.

Disappointed in ALL the Cafe appliances we have purchased (fridge, coffee machine, latte machine and this toaster oven). The letters and chrome starts to chip and fade almost immediately. The biggest issue we have had with this oven is the lining on the inside would not allow the door to properly close. This happened almost immediatly after purchasing. Also, 6 months later and it's starting to stain an ugly yellow color.

This oven is probably the best thing to happen to my kitchen since my SmartHub fridge. Firstly, it looks absolutely gorgeous on the countertop. Secondly, it efficiently made extra space on my countertop as it replaced my toaster, toaster oven and my air fryer ---- and does the job better and faster even! The cooking cavity is enormous and it comes with an air frying basket, a cooking rack, a round pizza tray, and a square tray for cooking and catching food from the basket and the rack. It also has the removable crumb tray on the bottom. The settings are endless ---- it has bake, broil, pizza, roast, toast, you name it. You can set your timer and temperature from the app even, which is pretty awesome and resourceful. The first fries I air fryed in this oven I burned because it cooked them soo much faster than my previous air fryer, so that's something good to get use to. It is basically a one stop shop for everything I am not cooking on the stove, so my kitchen is much less crowded. The only only con I would assign to this oven is that it does not have the rotisserie function which I would expect from a toaster oven/air fryer device of this size. Nonetheless you can effectively roast a chicken in this oven if you wanted to, so all in all, I'd say this oven is worth every penny.

I have been exclusively using the Cafe Couture Toaster oven. It has temporarily replaced my oven and a couple air fryers. Pros: It is pretty simple to use once you peruse the instructions for a bit. looks really nice and comes with a good array of accessories. It is a good size to fit a good sized chicken to roast but doesn't take over the whole counter. Cons: It has a crumb catching tray that slides out at the bottom, but doesn't have a drip tray over the bottom heating rod so those can get dirty and they have this non removable wire protector that makes it annoying to clean. So now I just use the baking tray as a catch all when I'm using the Air Fry Basket accessory to limit this issue. Also I don't see a benefit of the SmartHQ app for this device. It requests way too much info to basically do the same things I can do straight at the device itself. From what I've gathered is that you can set presets for the cooking modes if you cook the same things consistently. Unless there is something I didn't see in the app, it doesn't even start on its own, you still need to hit the "Start" button. Overall its a great appliance, but it doesn't need to be a connected device to take full advantage of it.

Great cooking performance and stunning looks. I knocked off one star because the text on the start and cancel buttons started disappearing after only a week. Start text is now gone completely. Otherwise we really like this product.

Simply Beautiful and Elegant. I own the CAFE espresso machine also. I fall in love with quality and looks.

This GE product is just plain wonderful. The oven is very modern looking, and it fits well with my other stainless-steel kitchen appliances. To me, stainless-steel is always pleasing to the eye and always fits well with just about any type of style or kitchen you might have. One great feature of this appliance is having so many cooking modes as well as a good range of cooking temperatures. I'm sure that one of the 14 cooking modes will meet all of your cooking needs, such as baking, crisping, toasting, reheating, warming, and so on. One of my favorite foods is either frozen or homemade pizza. A 12-inch pizza easily fits into this appliance and the results were great. I tried a frozen pizza, and the results were terrific. It came out cooked to perfection, had great taste and was not burned. I love the fact that I don't need to use my full-size oven and my kitchen temperature stayed a lot cooler. This is a big plus since I reside in South Florida. One of our families' other favorite foods are French fries. The crisping and cooking of our fries were superb. Since the basket has a mesh build to it, the air circulated around the fries evenly which made for a very uniform cooking experience. I did take caution as to not overload and layer to many fries at one time thereby ensuring even cooking. The appliance cooks with numerous quartz heating elements. Heating up the oven is super quick and efficient. It has a bright digital display which is pretty good sized. For those older consumers, not having to wear a pair of glasses was very welcomed. This appliance does have a substantial footprint, so take caution as to the placement. Surfaces do get hot, so ensure you have the appropriate amount of ventilation and space when utilizing. Take note of your overhead kitchen cabinets to ensure you have enough room to prevent heat from transferring to them. This appliance has the capability of WIFI controlled cooking. As of the date and time of this review I did not use this function. That being said, I may eventually use this function and post an update to this review. Just having this capability is cool when you think about it though. A few thoughts on supplied baking tray, pizza tray and wire tray for air frying. The build and strength of the baking tray seems fine. It seems very sturdy. Wire basket tray for air frying seems to be on the flimsy side. I would have preferred the mesh to have been constructed on the thicker side. The reason that I am concerned with this is during the cleaning process. I wonder how many times one can put force on it with a steel wool pad before it starts to "bow". Finally, the baking tray for pizza is completely flat and lacks sides. I would have like to see the "build" of the pizza tray include a lip or sides around the outside of the tray. This is just my personal preference though. In closing, I'm loving this appliance. With its many capabilities, it easily replaced many of my counter-top appliances that I have such as my air fryer and stand-alone toaster oven. I experienced awesome performance, even and thorough cooking of my foods and great results.

High quality counter-top oven. Cafe is to GE as Lexus is to Toyota... The luxury brand of an excellent flagship company. This stove-top oven fits that description perfectly. First off, what does it do? *Air Fry *CrispFinish *Bake *Broil *Roast *Toast *Bagel *Pizza *Cookies *Proof *Dehydrate *Slow Cook *Keep Warm *Reheat After doing several tests ranging from frozen pizza, to bagels and toast and air-frying vegi's, this unit mastered all. The one caveat (and I have seen a couple other reviewers not the same), you may need to experiment with the time. While I am at 6500 feet above sea level, not sure if that makes my experience unique, but frozen items (tater-tot's and pizza's) seemed to cook rather quickly. A pizza that said 15 to19 minutes was easily done at 13 to 14. Just takes some experimenting. The CrispFinish feature is pretty cool. It does exactly as it say's... Offers a, well, crisp finish. Great for pizza's, sandwiches etc. While it does have WiFi capabilities, not really that useful. I understand why t is designed as it is, but it seems like a marketing tool more than a useful device. In all, a very nice, gorgeous, functional luxury item. I would recommend to a friend.
