KitchenAid KCO124BM Digital Countertop Oven with Air Fry, 9 Modes

Make a one-pan dinner, air-fry vegetables or bake a 12-inch pizza without turning on a full-size oven. The KitchenAid KCO124BM combines countertop oven functions with air frying in one appliance. Its No-Flip Air Fry Basket helps cook ingredients without stopping to turn them halfway through. Nine cooking modes add flexibility for everyday meals and baking.

Everyday use

Use the included 9 x 13-inch baking pan for a sheet cake or one-pan meal, or set the oven up for a 12-inch pizza. Its capacity also accommodates up to two 3.4-lb chickens, giving you options for meals that need more room than a compact air fryer basket. For air-fried foods, the No-Flip basket is designed to make cooking simpler by removing the need to turn ingredients midway through a recipe. The oven’s modes include air frying, toasting, proofing and dehydration, so it can handle different kitchen tasks throughout the day.

Even-Heat Convection Technology combines top and bottom heating elements with a convection fan to heat the oven interior and maintain its temperature. That makes this a practical format for baking and roasting as well as air frying. Preheating takes under four minutes, helping you get started quickly when preparing a snack or a weeknight meal.

Strengths

The main advantage is having several cooking approaches in one countertop appliance. If you are choosing between a single-purpose air fryer and an oven with multiple modes, the KCO124BM brings air frying together with baking, toasting, proofing and dehydration. Its included air fry basket, baking pan, removable metal rack and removable drip and crumb tray support those different tasks. The tray also gives you a removable surface for catching drips and crumbs.

Buyer feedback often highlights the air-fry function, straightforward controls and versatility. Some customers report different experiences with heating and interior fit, so feedback is not uniform on those points. The appliance’s Black Matte finish gives it a distinct look on the counter, while its oven and air-fry functions let it serve more than one role in a home kitchen.

What to know

This is an electric countertop oven rated at 1,800 watts, with knob controls and a glass dropdown door. Its dimensions are 55.2D x 52W x 42.5H centimetres, useful figures to compare with your available counter space before setting it up. The included 9 x 13-inch baking pan and air fry basket provide dedicated options for oven cooking and air frying, while the removable rack and drip and crumb tray support other everyday preparations. For meals with several components, the pan offers a different arrangement from cooking everything in an air-fry basket.

When it makes sense

It makes sense if you want one countertop appliance for both air-fried dishes and oven-style cooking, and you’ll use the range of modes rather than rely on a dedicated air fryer alone. Picture preparing a one-pan dinner in the baking pan, then using the air fry basket for a separate batch of vegetables or snacks. The KCO124BM’s combination of no-flip air frying, convection heating and room for larger dishes makes it a useful fit for varied countertop cooking.
