Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven CTOA-120PC1

When I first got the unit I noticed a coating so I put it outside turned the heat all the way to the top and let it burn off for a couple of hours. No smell after that. The airfryer basket is hard to clean but I use steel wool and it cleans up. The drip tray under the basket loses most of it's finish after only a few uses. This is clearly badly made but since it is only a drip pan, I don't care. The timer doesn't turn off and burns the food unless you turn it more than 1/2 way then back to what you want. I can put frozen fish in the unit and air fry it to a perfection. Crispy outside, moist and flaky inside. If it wasn't such a pain to clean I would use it daily. As is, I cook a couple of days worth of fish in about 1 hour and then clean it. The crispy outside of the fish keeps the inside moist in the refrigerator. All in all, I am very happy I purchased this device.

I have only used the Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven for three times in the last two days. I got it from Costco.CONS: The Flouropymer inside coating stinks up the entire apartment, even if I close the door from the cooking area. Each time, I feel slightly ill from breathing in that Flouropymer chemical. The Cuisinart TOA-60 AirFryer Toaster Oven has the same Flouropymer inside coating. The manufacturer puts it inside the unit so it's easier to clean. I say leave the interior of the unit alone! So what if it's harder to clean. I would much rather know I am healthy using this unit. That stench had better disappear or I am returning this product. My health is of primary importance to me as it should be for anyone.I would give the Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven 5 Stars if it did not have that potentially dangerous Flouropymer coating inside. Also, on another note, the power cord is extremely short. It should be two feet longer than it is. If I keep this Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven, I will have to get a two-prong three foot extension cord.PROS: I do like that there are no annoying beeps when using this unit. It only has a one-time bell chime when finished cooking, and that is very nice! The unit is fairly quiet when cooking.Again, the big downer, and it's a huge one is the Flouropymer chemical coating on the inside, stinks up the entire apartment, and potentially dangerous to your health. Each time, I have become slightly ill from using it.I will give an update on the Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven in a couple weeks.Update: The Cuisinart Customer Servise is despicable, they are rude, and unprofessional.

Have owned for 3 weeks, used Toaster Oven 6 times. My unit seems to cook too HOT as I have had to lower the temperature for boneless chicken breasts (from Costco) which are large, pork chops too. I was hoping to read if someone else is having this issue. I did detect any order at all from my Unit and clean up is a breeze. I will go back to Costco or call Cuisinart and hope to talk to a Customer Service person to ask about it cooking too hot, too fast. I used the regular Oven setting not the Convection setting.

I bought it last night from a wholesale club. Hand-washed pan and basket (not dishwasher safe) with soft sponge and saw tiny spots where pan coating seem to have flaked off (after first use!) while wiping it dry. Reported it to cuisinart since problem may worsen in time, waiting for customer service response.

Beware! This oven is an extreme fire hazard at least the unit I bought. I bought this at a warehouse store. At first it seemed perfect with all the options for convection, air fry etc. However we quickly noticed the temperature is on full blast at almost any setting even turning it slightly below 250 deg, Even more dangerous is that the timer will stop working intermittently and the oven will remain on indefinitely. We burned many items despite lowering the temp 50-150 degrees, and once caught fire but fortunately caught it in time.

Would be 5 star except the toaster timer (has a separate timer for air fryer) stopped working consistently at 9 months old. FYI - this is the same unit as a CTA-60 if you want to see a longer list of more balanced reviews. Unlike others, I have had no problem with coatings, odors or temperature control (you just have to find the temp that works for you - I most often air fry on the lower rack setting). Customer service was a bit long on hold, but when I got someone, replacement was a breeze.

The first thing I noticed about this item which came from Costco was how bad it smelled when I first turned it on. I closed the door to the pantry and opened the window in winter, it was that bad. After that "warm up" I set out to air fry some wings also from Costco. These were thawed and patted dry. The temperature runs much higher than the gauge says it is. After the first batch was complete I put in a second batch and noticed that there was grease that had seeped out under the left rear side of the unit. This happened every time I used it. Decided it is a fire risk and will be returning it.

This is 1800 watt unit so it does cook hotter and faster. I purchased at Costco to replace my B@D toaster&OMORC air fryer. No smell detected.
