The Our Place Large Wonder Oven Pro, a versatile combo air fryer toaster oven that earned top honors in rigorous testing, is now available at a significant discount during Nordstrom's annual anniversary sale. Priced at $242.99, down from $325, the deal runs until 9 August.
Top Performance in Drexel Food Lab Tests
Researchers at the Drexel Food Lab evaluated 10 air fryers over two months, cooking french fries, salmon, chicken wings, nuggets, broccoli, and cookies. The Our Place Wonder Oven Pro consistently impressed, ranking highly across multiple tests.
According to the Drexel team, "It ranked highly in many of our tests, putting out crispy fries and nuggets." Using a texture analyzer to measure crunchiness, the Wonder Oven secured third place for crispiest fries, behind the Cosori Iconic Stainless Steel and Typhur Dome 2. Additionally, its oven function produced "evenly baked cookies with the perfect chew."
Design and Functionality
The Wonder Oven Pro features a retro aesthetic, described by researchers as "by far the most eye-catching air fryer we tested" and a true "countertop centerpiece." With a 32-quart capacity, it replaces multiple appliances, offering baking, broiling, toasting, reheating, roasting, dough proofing, and dehydrating functions. It is also free from PFAS "forever" chemicals.
Cleaning Considerations
Potential buyers should note that cleaning requires effort. The Drexel team observed, "Grease splattered around the heating elements and removing it took a large amount of effort." They recommended keeping up with cleaning and using the included baking pan under the air fryer basket to catch drips.
Despite this, the Wonder Oven Pro delivers empirically proven crispy fries and perfect cookies. At 25% off, it offers substantial value for those seeking a high-performing, stylish kitchen appliance.
