What reviewers say about the Foodi 8-in-1 Digital Air Fry Oven (SP101)

Only one whitelisted hands-on review of this exact SP101 survived verification — Reviewed (USA Today). It rates the oven an excellent, exceptionally even toaster that also bakes biscuits and roasts sheet-pan dinners well, but only a fair air fryer that browns unevenly and turns from-scratch food out baked rather than fried. It faults the unit as expensive, too short to roast a whole chicken, and unable to sear steaks under the broiler.

Tested by Reviewed

Consistently praised

  • Excellent, exceptionally even toaster (also bakes biscuits and roasts sheet-pan dinners well)
  • Beautiful brushed-stainless build that flips onto its side to save counter space
  • Fast one-minute preheat, quiet operation, and intuitive easy-to-read digital controls

Commonly flagged

  • Air fries unevenly; from-scratch food comes out baked rather than fried
  • Expensive for the category
  • Too short to roast a whole chicken
  • Air-broiled steaks look gray, not seared

Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted hands-on source (Reviewed) survived verification, so no cross-outlet comparison is possible. Its own verdict is internally split: strong praise for toasting and baking versus clear criticism of air-frying evenness and searing — excellent at the toaster-oven job, only fair at the air-fry job.

Reviewed lab-tested ·

preheat time: 1 minute · air roast time, ~3 lb sheet pan dinner (chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli): 22 minutes · air broil time, chicken breasts: 20 minutes · dehydrate run time (banana chips): 10 hours · keep-warm hold time (mac and cheese, safe serving temp): 2 hours · toast capacity: 9 slices

When used to toast two slices, it gives impressive results, browning exceptionally evenly.
Biscuits baked up just as well as from a full-size oven.
The Digital Air Fry Oven air fries unevenly, and food prepared from scratch seemed baked, not fried.
even when cooked well-done, steaks looked gray on the outside and in no way resembled broiled or grilled meat.
To be blunt, it’s not the best air fryer on the market, but it’s also far from the worst.
