See how we scored it
Updated October 27, 2026
Our research found 12 hands-on expert evaluations: roughly 8 are favorable, 1 is mixed, and 3 (including two that measured temperature swings and uneven results) are critical. Its design is the clearest strength, praised by 11 of 12 testers, while about 5 of 12 reported uneven cooking or overcooking and several found the analog dials imprecise. Among 70 owner comments we analyzed (26 first-hand), ease of use and good toast came up most often among positives (9% and 7%), but 9% felt it was poor value and 12% mentioned some kind of failure, though only 3% described a unit actually breaking. Evidence is thin: owner volume is modest, only one tester published a score, and some evaluations covered the Large and Pro versions rather than the original, so our confidence is low.
What each expert concluded
The reviewer found the compact Wonder Oven a stylish, capable 6-in-1 air fryer toaster oven that cooks well and cleans easily, with only minor drawbacks in door design, capacity, and non-dishwasher-safe parts.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗After six months of daily use, the writer loves the Wonder Oven Pro, calling it worth the higher price and preferring it to the earlier Wonder Oven and Large Wonder Oven.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The Wonder Oven is attractive and easy to operate, but it cooks unevenly, burns food, and costs more than better-performing toaster ovens, so the reviewer recommends other models.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗A mediocre, compact oven-style air fryer that has plenty of room for large batches but cooks slowly and unevenly, leaving much of each batch undercooked, with limited versatility.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗Consumer Reports lab tests show the Wonder Oven performing well overall, with strong toasting speed and easy cleaning, but its controls are only fair to use.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗A compact, versatile, and charming countertop oven that air fries and steams very well, held back mainly by imprecise vintage-style dial controls and hand-wash-only accessories.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The writer was impressed by the large Wonder Oven's air frying, especially its very crispy wings and fries, but found it too big for a small counter and was put off by a leaky door seal, though a replacement unit did not leak.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The writer found the Wonder Oven a versatile, compact all-in-one that can toast, air fry, bake and reheat well enough to replace her full-size oven, despite a finicky timer/preheat quirk, small capacity and a price over $150.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The testers found the Wonder Oven attractive and available in lovely colors, but it heats fast and tends to overcook items like cake and pizza, so cooking times need adjusting and food needs frequent checking.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The writer found the Wonder Oven stylish, compact, easy to use and effective across a range of foods, naming it a top pick, though the accessory trays felt wobbly and fit poorly.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The writer recommends the Our Place Wonder Oven as an excellent, good-looking premium toaster oven/air fryer, though its analog dial controls make it less precise than digital models.
Hands-on review · open the review ↗The writer praises the Wonder Oven Pro as a stylish retro-look air fryer toaster oven with steam infusion and digital controls that handled every recipe tested, including fries, chicken, and pizza, and names it the best-designed pick in the roundup.

The no-fluff verdict
This is a good-looking little oven that earns its spot on the counter, toasting quickly, crisping well and wiping clean with little effort. The catch is that it can run hot and cook unevenly, and the simple dials aren't very precise, so you'll want to check on food rather than walk away. It suits small kitchens and households of one to four people who care about style and don't mind paying a bit more for it.
This verdict draws on 14 independent sources: 12 expert tests,
70 ratings and reports from retailers, owner communities and video reviews, and official safety records,
analyzed and cross-checked into one verdict, so you don't have to.
Ratings across the web
Shop ratings lean positive (happy buyers, brand-moderated stores); forums lean critical (people post problems). Our owners score weighs both equally.
