Works well but pulls a lot of power

The air fry and toast functions work really well. I love the baking trays also. But this unit pulls so much power to operate that it makes the lights in my refrigerator flicker, as well as the ceiling fan lights. It’s almost too powerful. No other air fryer ever did that. Also, the app seems kind of useless if you don’t buy the (sold separately) thermometers.

Great Unit

Love the IQ Sense probes and heard so many great things about the Mini Oven, I made the plunge, and very glad that I did. Very well packaged, set up was a breeze and we were cooking in no time. It is very well made and looks great on the counter. Highly recommend this product.

Best

I enjoy my cooker better than any other cooker I’ve ever had. I like the different of the push button. I’m not necessarily pushing, but the touchscreen response. Now you change it how it works and speaks to you and the options that you have with it would not trade it for the world. Looking forward to using it every day thank you.

Beautiful machine!

I am truly impressed with the beauty and overall quality of the Chef IQ Mini Oven. It’s a sleek, well-made machine that feels both modern and durable. What makes it especially practical for me is the wide range of features. It easily handles air frying, baking, and roasting, which are my absolute favorites. The pre-set feature is a standout and makes cooking so much easier and more consistent. I love being able to rely on precise settings without guessing, and I look forward to seeing even more features added in the future. I’ve also owned the Chef IQ Cooker for many years, and it is still used daily in my household. That long-term reliability says a lot. Chef IQ truly shines when it comes to precise, intelligent technology, and the Mini Oven lives up to that reputation beautifully.

Fast & Easy

This is a high quality oven that heats quickly. Its clear glass front door is awesome. They thought of little details like a rack on the bottom that slides out without tilting so that you can easily grasp hot items such as trays or a cast iron dutch oven without reach inside an risking burning yourself. It's easy to keep clean, too. A Magic Eraser works well on the cool surfaces (never the heating elements), including to clean grease off of the glass. Fantastic product.

Issues with seal

We own all Chef IQ products and have been waiting patiently since the announcement of the Mini Oven. We unboxed it and immediately put it to use to make homemade pizzas but we noticed during preheating that the rubber seal had melted onto the glass and the case of the oven. We had to scrape the melted rubber off of the glass and hoped the seal would still work. I am not sure if we can even use it again.

The iQ Mini oven

I just received the oven, and I have to say, I’m really impressed! It’s a beautifully crafted little oven that I’m excited to use. I still look forward to improving my cooking skills in my 60s with its help. I absolutely loved the iQ Pressure Cooker and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this oven. If it’s anything like the pressure cooker, I truly believe it’s a great investment and a win-win for me.

Cool mini oven

The design is very modern, sleek and compact, doesn’t look bulky at all. The soft-close door is an awesome feature and I love how the body of the oven doesn’t get hot. The only annoying thing is that it takes a little long to toast stuff, longer than a toaster. Other than that very happy with it.

Chef iQ Mini Oven

I love everything about it! Very simple to set up. My teenage daughter set up the app on my phone. It blends in so well with my new kitchen and it’s not big and bulky like my previous one. If you’re looking to upgrade your air fryer - this is the one to buy.

Presets and App recipies

I have the ChefIQ cooker and have enjoyed the step by step video instruction recipes on the App. I was also expecting this feature for the minioven but the only recipes I can find are for the thermometer and the cooker. I’m just a tad disappointed there aren’t any in the app. The actual performance of the oven is extremely impressive. It preheats turbo fast and it’s an actual air fryer on top of all the other features that are top notch. It’s worth the money for sure. I’ve never been so impressed with a small oven.
