Design

Taking it out of the box, you can tell straight away that it’s a high-quality product. The stainless steel construction, the rounded corners, and a black digital control panel look aesthetically pleasing. At first glance, you will notice that it is different than other air fryers and toaster ovens, to say the least. It’s shorter than other toaster ovens and much wider as well. However, this different design doesn’t affect the cooking capacity or the performance. Another unique aspect of the design is the fold-up against your kitchen backsplash. After use and cool down, you can stand the toaster oven up against the kitchen wall to reduce the oven’s footprint and allow you to use the counter space for other purposes. We know it seems odd, but it saves storage space.

Even the door handle is not like your typical toaster oven. Instead of a long towel handle, there is a smaller handle on the left side that you use to open the door. This improves the outlook and is more practical as well.

Features and Functions

The name would tell you straight away that the SP101 supports eight different cooking methods. Of course, it can air fry and toast, but aside from that, it is also capable of air roast, air broil, dehydrate, and bagel. It doesn’t have the reheat function, but it can keep the food warm and fresh to eat later. All these different cooking methods give you the freedom to try out new and exciting cuisines at home and improve your cooking range as well.

When it comes to the cooking capacity, the SP101 lets you cook a lot of food at once. The wider design allows the use of a large pan which in turn can cook more food. In food terms, you can easily make a 13” pizza in this toaster oven. For breakfast, you can toast up to NINE slices in one go. The larger pan can fit SIX pieces of chicken breasts for a tasty family dinner. You don’t have to worry that this air fryer and toaster oven might not be able to cook enough food because it can cook more than enough.

To make sure whatever you decide to cook in this oven cooks to perfection, the SP101 oven uses different features and technologies. To provide the perfect crisp on your fried foods, there is the Digital Crisp Control Technology. This technology maintains the cooking temperature and the airflow in the cooking chamber at the optimal level for the best cooking results. You can also select the shade you want on your morning toasts. This level of control in a cooking appliance is a huge plus, as it allows you to cook your food exactly the way you like it.

The controls of the SP101 are straightforward as well. The control panel has an LED screen that shows the cooking time and temperature you set. Manual buttons let you set those cooking instructions with precision and ease. To select the cooking method out of the EIGHT available, you have to use the dial to navigate and select the one which you want to use. The dial also works as the start/pause button.

To make sure you can enjoy the versatility, the SP101 comes with all the accessories you could need. A wire rack to toast and bake. An air fry basket to air fry, dehydrate, and broil; and a sheet pan to bake and roast. You can buy some extra accessories as well if you want, but there is no need.

Cleaning

Air fryers, in general, are very easy to clean because they mostly have a non-stick coating and non-stick accessories. The SP101 is also very easy to clean, mainly because of the non-stick interior and stainless-steel accessories. Furthermore, the accessories are dishwasher friendly too, so the cleanup becomes even easier.

  • Intuitive and easy-to-use digital controls.

The unique and beautiful design, the premium quality build, and the restaurant-quality food taste make it a great option for all. You might feel like it’s a bit expensive, but you will see that it is worth every penny once you see the results.
