Sage the Smart Oven Air Fryer Countertop Oven 22L, SOV860BSS, Stainless Steel

Product Information

With a higher-than-average temperature option of 230C, rather than the usual 200C, the Sage the Smart Oven Air Fry can cook food faster than many other air fryers, although it does take a bit longer to heat up.

There is an integrated fan which circulates hot air around the oven, speeding up the cooking process by whisking cold air away from your food. The product's Element IQ system utilizes a quintet of quartz elements for spot-on heat circulation within the oven, resulting in perfect crispiness every time, without the need for excess oil. With 10 different cook modes available, ranging from classic 'Air Fry' and 'Roast' all the way through to 'Grill' and 'Crumpets' – we were impressed by how easy it was to operate and how little user intervention was needed. All in all, it was a pretty self-explanatory experience, and the product and its parts (including a fry basket) are straightforward to clean and reassemble post-use.There’s no doubt that the design and build quality on offer from the Sage the Combi Wave 3 in 1 helps to justify its price tag. The unit is very nicely put together, with plenty of brushed stainless steel on show, both inside and out. This is topped off by an internal light when you open the door that helps make your food look even more appealing. Space: How much room do you have on your kitchen countertop for the product? While some toaster oven air fryers can be a little bulky, others are more slimline and compact. Make sure you actually have room for the model you buy! We followed the instructions to the letter, brushing the bird with a tablespoon of oil before leaving it to cook on the rotisserie spit for an hour. When the 60 minutes was up, we took a tentative look and were impressed. It looked perfectly cooked and after leaving it to sit for 10 minutes, we started carving it. It was juicy, moist and cooked through, with a crispy skin. The drip tray also meant that clearing up was pretty straightforward, too.

The feature we were particularly pleased to see is the air fryer’s ample viewing window, which allows you to peer in to view your food while it’s cooking. Not all air fryers come with a viewing window, so we welcomed its inclusion here.
