UPDATE: I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 5 after receiving the new oven and using it nearly daily for about a year now. This is a really great oven. It has so many functions and uses it's crazy. We rarely have a home cooked meal snack or dessert anymore that doesn't include something cooked in this thing. My previous review remains valid as well. So I'll start off by saying that the ovens touch screen malfunctioned right away. Just a few days after getting it new. It was behaving as if someone was repeatedly touching it and changing it's own settings. Changing itself from F° to C°, the rotate function would repeatedly cycle on and off, and it would constantly switch between "preheating" and "cooking". At first the malfunction was intermittent, and wasn't causing a serious issue with cooking the food. I ignored it hoping it would possibly go away on its own; but a few weeks later it had gotten progressively worse to the point that it wouldn't stay in "cooking" mode long enough to complete a meal. I contacted customer support and after providing my proof of purchase, and a short video of the machine malfunctioning, they voluntarily sent a replacement. I haven't received it yet, but will be updating this review once I have a chance to try it out. Now..... Onto the rest of the product review. I think this is a great little oven. It has a bit of a learning curve as far as what temperature to set it at for what foods; but other than a few scorched egdes and a couple of pizzas that had to go back in, it's been pretty amazing. Like any other oven, many factors have to be considered when setting their temperatures, and every oven varies. This one seems consistent. Something baked at 350 will always bake at 350. Something that burns at 275 will always burn at 275. Over all I am very pleased with this oven. If the new one has a better quality touch screen, I will be 100% happy.

So this was on sale and is roughly the size of our old toaster oven, but this one has the air fry heat coil as well as the quartz heaters, our old air fry oven did not have the heat coil and it really didn’t air fry at all, it was mostly just a convection oven. We have a nuwave small air fryer that actually air fries but the portion size is not big enough for my family. We thought we would give this Instant Omni Pro air fry oven a try since we had such good luck with our instant pot. Unfortunately, you can’t set the time or the temperature for any of the settings. I did a lot of research on this unit and found the only negative comments were chickens falling off the rotisserie when the drip pan is installed and it was that some people were having a problem with the touch control, which is exactly what I was having problem with as well. The thing with the rotisserie chicken is that you can’t use the drip pan, if you look at the videos on this product roasting a chicken on their website the drip pan is not in the unit. I did see another video on YouTube that shows people putting foil over the bottom elements as they don’t turn on during rotisserie cooking to keep splatter off of them (good idea). We were planning mostly to use the rotisserie for pork roasts (yum) as rotisserie chickens at Costco are really cheap and taste really good, if they could just lower the salt content a little it would be perfect. Anyway, I was unable to adjust the temperature or time no matter which mode or setting I was in we tried all kinds of things like texting the manufacturer, which was a royal pain just to find out that holding down cancel resets the oven but I don’t think it’s really resetting maybe it just resets the stored presets, but it doesn’t help with the touchscreen problem at all. Amazon does not allow for replacements on this item, but you can return it which is what we’re doing and I just bought another one to give it another go (hopefully with better luck this time). Thank goodness it was still on sale. I have a good feeling that this unit is on sale because of all the problems they are having with chickens and most of the people online say they have to get another unit from the factory to correct the touch screen problem. Let’s hope the next unit doesn’t have the same problem or it’s going back as well and will try a different brand like shark ninja. I know that instant and Shark Ninja both have UL listed appliances which is very important to me and my family for safety, especially with something like this. The only downside to this oven is that I wish it would heat to 500° for better searing steaks instead of limiting it to 450°, but most hot air fryers only go to 400° anyway and we can still use the kitchen oven for searing. If the second unit works like it, should I will update this review. update 02/25: I did receive another unit after returning the first one. The second one seemed to work fine, although the touch buttons were a little finicky and after about a month, the display brightness of the segments were all different brightness, but it still worked. It actually worked very well and we loved it for reheating food. It was perfect every time but today when I was reheating some garlic knots the unit started randomly beeping and flashing the count down time (which was no longer counting down and stuck on six minutes) and also different parts of the display were flashing and the heater didn’t turn off. None of the buttons were responsive, and I was not even able to cancel the program. I had to unplug the unit to get it to shut off and when I plugged it back in it had the same behavior as soon as I tried to start any program for cooking, obviously the micro processor or something inside is now fried. I can’t believe that a modern appliance only lasts just over a year and you have to replace it again when you spent nearly $350 on it. I will never buy another instant product again!

The Instant Omni Pro 14-in-1 Toaster Oven Air Fryer worked great for all sorts of cooking. Air frying of various foods, such as fries, chicken breasts and wings, etc. turned out fully cooked and slight crispy on the edges. Reheating foods, such as pizza, steak, chicken on the bone, etc was also perfect. Toasting and reheating breads was also excellent. The movement of air was impressive as foods cooked quite evenly. I never cooked large items, such as whole chickens or large amounts of foods at once, but it seems like this oven would have done well. However, after about 18 months, some of the lights on the display began to go out and not come back on. Not the entire display, just parts of the digits on the display. A few weeks later, the preset cooking methods began to go haywire. Starting a preset mode would result in the oven constantly beeping and the countdown timer starting over as if the preset had been cancelled and restarted. This behavior comes and goes over long periods of time. After almost 2 years, the oven still cooks and reheats foods, but not as intended. The display still has some lights that do not work and some presets still cannot be selected. It seems the touchscreen technology on this oven prematurely malfunctioned or just wore out. Cooking sessions have to be monitored in case the oven goes haywire again as this tends to happen without warning. I do love Instant brand products for the style, functionality and price from past products I have used and owned, but I am going with a different brand to replace this toaster oven.

Instant omni pro 14 en 1. Llevaba mucho tiempo queriendo éste horno, lo primero que intenté hacer fué un pastel pero a media cocción intenté deslizarlo hacia afuera para hacer la prueba del palillo y la repisa de rejilla (rack) se salió de los rieles apenas lo toqué, por suerte el pastel ya estaba casi cocido y no se salió todo dentro del horno, pero fue horrible y casi imposible volverlo a meter al riel sin quemarme. Ya en frío intenté poner el rack en los diferentes niveles,hacia arriba y hacia abajo y aun sin peso no se alcanza a sostener y con muy poca fuerza o simplemente deslizando se sale de los rieles, principalmente el primero y segundo, no se si el rack está defectuso o si el horno está defectuoso descuadrado o algo, pero básicamente lo deja inservible. El vendedor fué Amazon Estados Unidos y por ser importación Amazon México solo me da la opción de devolverlo, pero obviamente para volverlo a comprar ya estaría a precio regular, también me dijeron que si me quedaba el producto defectuoso me daban un cupón por $100 increible.. Intenté comunicarme al único sitio oficial de Instant en México (instantstore.mx) y basicamente me dijeron que ellos sólo son distribuidores no fabricantes y que sólo pueden resolver garantías de los productos comprados en su sitio. Es una lástima pues en Estados Unidos la marca tiene fama de tener excelente servicio al cliente. Han pasado 14 meses desde que lo compré y ahora el panel tactil ya no funciona, no me deja cambiar temperatura ni tiempo y de manera random sin tocarlo y sin estar en uso hace bips aparentemente como si estuviera cambiando entre f° y c°, también cuando está andando solito se para y reanuda como si yo le pusiera pausa y start.

El horno está muy bien pero a los 5 meses de uso ya no puedo modificar el tiempo ni la temperatura, es touch y cómo que tuvo una falla, no tengo ni el año y no se puede devolver ni nada

Es un súper buen producto, sinceramente por el precio que tenía, sin problema lo vuelvo a comprar, el problema es que la rejilla para hornear, como ya vi en varias publicaciones, se cae de un lado porque está ligeramente más corta de lo que debería estar, no puedo creer que una marca que ya lleva buen posicionamiento en el mercado con sus productos, permita esas diferencias de dimensiones en los accesorios, habla mal de la calidad de la marca. Es de acero inoxidable y el calibre de sus alambres, no permite enderezarla para que se alargue unos 3 o 4 mm, que es lo que realmente necesita estar más larga.

Compré este horno en abril 2022 y lo amaba hasta que algunas opciones del panel dejaron de funcionar y al mandarlo revisar me dijeron que no hay forma de repararlo porque no existen piezas para reparaciones, lo cual me parece pésimo porque es una inversión considerable.

Primero falló el ajuste de los minutos y luego el panel empezó a aplanarse solo . Funciono muy bien durante un año solamente .
