Dreo air fryer with steam injection and presets
https://youtu.be/Z9EbFJG2aHc
I haven't spent anyone else's money in awhile, and Mike from Pro Home Cooks did an 18-minute tryout of this thing. It's not perfect, but very intriguing. There's still five days left in their Kickstarter campaign, and at $259 now/$359 MSRP its a hell of a lot less expensive than an Anova or similar (I have no financial interests in this project).
I don't have any counter space left in my kitchen, but I realized the other day that I've used my rotary meat slicer exactly twice, and it could probably live on a shelf somewhere which would free up some countertop. Hmm.

Just like with small/portable pizza ovens I have no doubt there will be many more entrants into the "steam oven" marketspace.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a Breville airfryer/steamer/music-n-home hub/bottle opener in just a couple months. I'm okay to just be happy with what I have.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

@Canugghead it looks like we can order directly from their site in Canadian Tire money with free shipping and ~5% tax 😳

Edit: btw, $390+tax now
The only disappointment so far is that it doesn’t look like I can setup my own sequences/recipes. You basically need to use one of their recipes or one of the few manual modes.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -

Curious if the design allows download of future recipe releases? Also, are you going to try making crusty bread?canuckland -

They apparently release recipes on a regular basis (monthly ?). You can upload recipes developed by the manufacturer from the mobile application to the air fryer « favorite » menu.
You can also save simple (1 step) recipes to the « favorite » menu. As an example, I just cooked a hot dog for 5 minutes @ 390F classic air fryer mode. I could see that in the history section of the mobile application, save it to the air fryer « favorite » menu, and give it a custom name, « hot dog ».
What I cannot do is design my own multi steps sequences. As an example, I think that when you say crusty bread, you mean injecting steam; you cannot inject steam manually, or in your own recipes. To inject steam, you need to use « chef mode » recipes on the device or upload one from the app that has been designed by the manufacturer. I don’t see a way to design my own. And, as I don’t see any recipe for bread, I won’t bake crusty bread with steam injection unless the manufacturer releases a recipe...
About steam injection, I am not sure that it is in fact steam. There is a nozzle that injects a very fine mist of water all over the surface of the basket (food). I am not sure if it ends up simply keeping the surface of the food moist or if it immediately evaporates into steam. It does the job though; the flap steak that I cooked was simply perfect.
I am completely new to the air fryer world. I am in discovery mode right now just trying stuff. I am looking forward to trying Brussels sprouts and caramelized carrots chunks. (probably as a side tonight).
I may sound like I’m not happy with it but I am very impressed with the results so far. I am going to try shrimps for SWMBO tonight.

5 minutes hot dog and grilled bread:
20 minutes chef mode potatoes chunks:

@paqman love it! Thankfully price is back up to $499, wallet safe. Seriously though, I don't need it (right?), also the capacity is kind of limited.
Re crusty bread, IIRC from an early review, someone did that in the Anova combi oven.canuckland -

SWMBO has been asking for an air fryer every other month and I wasn’t seeing myself using it on a regular basis; I was wrong. It is a perfect device for the two of us.

We have a toaster oven with air fryer setting and use it all the time. Great for cauliflower and broccoli.Love you bro!

One year review… it was a promising appliance but the front window is falling apart from the basket and it is no longer closing properly. The probe is working intermittently. Glad I purchased from Amazon, I contacted the company and they are issuing a full refund. They have recently made it possible to program our own custom cycles with steam. I am debating between ordering a new one or getting something else.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

I know this post is a year old, but I still don't really know if there's a difference, and how much that difference may be. Thanks @paqman for the long-term review of your appliance.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."
