Nuwave Bravo Pro Smart Air Fryer 21 qt 🍳

This multi-function countertop oven combines air frying and toaster oven versatility in a single 21-quart appliance, offering fast convection cooking for everyday meals and small gatherings. Designed to crisp and brown foods quickly with 1800 watts of power, this Nuwave unit helps prepare pizzas, roasted vegetables, waffles, and more with consistent results according to the manufacturer.

Key Points

The unit features a high-speed fan and redesigned housing that increases airflow for shorter cooking times and crisper finishes. Ten pre-programmed functions include Air Fry, Bake, Reheat, Bagel, Pizza, Toast, Broil, Waffle, Dehydrate, and Roast, which simplifies common tasks and reduces guesswork. Controls allow adjusting top and bottom heater output and convection fan speed, giving more precise heat balance for items such as thick pizzas where a stronger bottom heat helps form a crisp crust. The oven ships with a cooking rack, baking pan, removable crumb tray, and an air fry basket so it is ready to use out of the box.

Usage Recommendations

For layered or multi-rack cooking, use the convection settings to minimize temperature variance between shelves, which the manufacturer reports as a 0-1 °F difference. When making thicker pizzas, try a higher bottom-heater percentage and moderate top heat to achieve a well-browned base and evenly melted toppings. Preheating for a few minutes is useful for achieving more predictable crispiness when air frying smaller portions.

Positive Aspects

Temperature control is wide and flexible, spanning low dehydration temperatures up to high roasting heat for proteins. The adjustable top and bottom heater ratio gives a level of customization not common in many toaster oven combos, allowing you to favor browning or finish without affecting the whole cavity. Consider that the unit’s size and wattage are best suited to medium kitchens and countertop use, and confirm outlet capacity in kitchens with multiple high-power appliances.
