Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer, Cook like a pro with just the press of a button, Smart Air Fryer Cooker with Cook probe, Water Atomizer, 3 professional cooking modes, 5.7L

I have updated this review as Dreo customer support has been in touch and explained technical issues had prevented them receiving my emails. That aside once the issue had been found the issue was very swiftly and effectively resolved. They did not ask me to update this review, however I felt it was only fair to do so. I can now rate the product as I suggested as a full 5 stars, though I would ask them to improve spares support in the future. This would have been 5 stars but without UK customer support it only gets 3 This is a really good product and does the job very well, i took the gamble on a start up unkown to me brand and it paid off. The only problem and to me it is a big one is the lack of UK customer support. There is a design issue with the perspex front panel on the basket that can lead to the mounts breaking away. I have tried to order a replacement and there is never any stock and the UK customer support email address goes unanswered. It is a great air fryer but its long term use might be limited but the lack of support.

I bought this after my old air fryer bit the dust - and due to using it every day decided to go for a high-end option. I do not regret it at all. The Dreo cooks way better than my old air fryer and is easily at the same level as the high end Ninja air fryers - but with the addition of the smart app to monitor progress and load recipes. I have found their customer service to be superb with quick responses to any queries I've had. I hghly recommend this combi fryer - it's a real stand out appliance. A few friends have now also bought them and agree they are great.

I thought the claims about what it can do were probably over exaggerated, to my pleasant surprise they aren't some of the recipes may require slightly tweaking but all in all it cooks food perfectly without you having to constantly keep an eye on things (which I did with the first 5 or 6 trials) allowing you to concentrate on whipping up a soup or preparing a salad to go with your Chefmaker main course, the app is really great once you get used to it, (it could do with some work and perhaps being tweaked for European weights and measures in metric and temp in Celsius) I think the app will improve once they start selling as many units as they do at the other side of the pond, the probe cooking is my favourite because it really seems to control the temperature perfectly turning out meals as good as most restaurants and I'm not making this up try the salmon recipe in the app using the probe you'll be amazed at the result, so I highly recommend this device

It’s very easy to use The steaks are fantastic The probe function ensures everything is cooked thoroughly The niggles are nothing serious Some of the menu items are spelt for the US market I thoroughly recommend it

We absolutely love this air fryer, if you can call it that. The Dreo is so advanced that we have barely scratched the surface of its features so far. The main cooking modes for meat joints, chicken, and steaks have yielded perfect results every time! The water spray and slower cooking times make a significant difference. We love it!

I have not used it as when the box containing the air fryer arrived items were missing. As I’m abroad on holiday at the moment I have not been able to sort out the issue

This is so much more than a bog standard air fryer, it's not an airfryer as such eventhough it has this feature. It's like having a chef in your kitchen. I love a steak and when I choose Chef Mode on my thick cut rib eye done med/rare I have to say it took all the guess work out and was better than a steak I've had at Miller & Carter. The Dreo comes with its own app to download so if you wanna check on progress of food and you are not in Yr kitchen then it will let you know when food is ready or you can check how much longer you can linger in another part of your home. Fabulous little oven and I wish I'd got this before I purchased the Power XL as the Dreo is far more superior for sure.

I’m in Australia, but since Dreo refuses to ship here, I had to order via the UK Amazon site. I even pointed out that their UK model is fully compatible with Australian electricity—it only needs a simple plug change—but they still wouldn’t sell it to me. So, I bought it from the UK, used a forwarding service, and had it delivered to Australia—and it worked perfectly! The unit cooks pork knuckle to absolute perfection—juicy inside, with a crispy, crunchy crust. Best money I’ve spent. It’s just a shame that Dreo’s customer support wouldn’t help themselves to another sale. They could have made this so much easier! Even after receiving the unit, I contacted them again to let them know it works fine in Australia and suggested they update their UK technical specs to reflect 5.5 litres and 240V. But instead, they’ve just copied and pasted the US specs onto the UK site. Now, I am trying to order a replacement temp probe, knowing they are lazy and do the bare minimum to help their customers.

Very good

Me encanta la precisión del término en los cortes de carne, super recomendado!

I have owned this air fryer for 19 months, and it has been fantastic. I use it every single day and absolutely love it. In fact, I rarely use my Miele combi-steam oven anymore because the DREO air fryer is so much faster and easier to use. The screen is excellent, with beautiful high-resolution images that make it very intuitive. Big respect to the team for creating such a sophisticated product, and for providing incredible customer service!

This combination cooker reminds me of my first bread maker back in 1990. All of a sudden, you could put the ingredients in, push a button, and go away. It has done that for me for meals. It Broils, Bakes, Defrosts, Air Fry's (and Convection cooks), Dehydrates, and cooks with steam/humidity (“steam cooks” using a water tank (my words)). There is a “sous vida” capability, which is pretty neat with meat. It has a temperature probe which allows it to control the types of cooking with recipes you choose from those inside and those provided in an Apple or Google App. It has an impressive control system which is nicely integrated with the display screen. This allows you to effectively turn the whole cooking operation over to the Chefmaker, from when you put in the ingredients, to when you “plate” them. It also has 4 modes which you use to cook Chef Mode which allows you to use all the capabilities built in, based on Chef recipes for various foods, Classic (air fryer) Mode pretty much like my old air fryer, Probe Mode (sort of air fryer mode with a probe, that turns off the air fryer when the dish gets to the desired temperature. There is also the App, which has recipes like those of Chef mode, but can use whatever other way of cooking the chefs and engineers decided to have the device follow. This is all pretty cool to us, and we have had nothing but successes. The downsides? The device is new and desperately needs documentation and Cookbooks. For instance, you can easily choose a meat dish from your favorite recipes and search through the Chef Mode and APP recipes to find something similar, which you can use to cook your dish. There are a good number of cooking with Chefmaker videos out there, with everything from cornbread, which work great in your Chefmaker, but you Have to go looking, and generally, you better write down the instructions, because they usually are not in the YouTube video. You can take Air Fryer Recipes, and adapt them, but you better be careful to watch them, because air fryers vary widely, and the Chef Maker has a pretty powerful heating element. It would sure be nice to have a paper or on-line “Map” of the options and recipes in the device’s inherent modes. I expect these problems to go away pretty quickly, because Dreo has engineered the device to be able to change both its software and the recipes. The current Chefmaker’s size, and therefor portion sizes seems to make it most useful for meals for 2 or 3 people, or you get into “batch cooking”. For instance I love cooking bacon in it, but can only get 5 pieces in. Well, I’m going to eat two of them (but I sure loved sitting down with my wife and coffee when the bacon was cooking. Got breakfast done in half the time. P.S. My first Filet was Exactly Medium Rare in Chef/Sous Vida Mode. I cooked it with the probe in my (larger) filet. Wife prefers Medium, and next time, I’ll set the steaks to Medium, stick the probe in hers so the smaller steak is medium and the larger is less rare. Just not going to be able to get the Thanksgiving turkey in there next week (you can get a little rib roast in though.

Un an plus tard, je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon Chefmaker ! C'était ma première expérience avec un air fryer. Et, je dois dire que je ne regrette aucunement mon achat, et je ne peux plus m'en séparer. Le Chefmaker est peut-être un peu plus dispendieux en comparaison des marques populaires, mais sa technologie et ses accessoires rendent celui-ci beaucoup plus attrayant et plus "premium", à mon avis. Par exemple, j'ai comparé le Chefmaker avec les air fryer de mes amis. Les "presets" et le "probe" sont ce qui attire le plus. Un steak medium saignant ? Un poulet sous-vide ? Une cuisson selon la température internet ? Juste à appuyer sur deux ou trois buton, insérer le thermomètre, et voilà ! En plus, vous avez une application sur téléphone très sympathique ! Entre autres, vous pouvez suivre la cuisson sur votre téléphone. Ce n'est pas indispensable, mais très agréable lorsque nous sommes dans la pièce voisine. L'application propose aussi des recettes avec des tutoriels, ce qui est également très plaisant. Seul bémol, mon Chefmaker a complètement arrêté de fonctionner après une cuisson, environ 14 mois plus tard après mon achat. Toute l'alimentation s'est coupée. Cependant ! J'ai communiqué avec le service à la clientèle avec le système de messagerie dans l'application. Quelques heures plus tard, Carol, au service client, m'a contacté et m'a demandé quelques informations supplémentaires (photo, vidéo, facture, etc.). J'ai tout partagé, et en moins de deux jours Carol m'a confirmé un nouvel envoi pour remplacer mon modèle défectueux ! Ma crainte s'est rapidement dissipée, et j'ai eu le nouveau appareil en moins d'une semaine entre le moment de ma signalisation et la réception à la maison. Qui plus est, le nouvel appareil a bénéficié de quelques corrections depuis mon premier achat, et a été livré avec une nouvelle garantie ! Honnêtement, je n'ai aucun commentaire négatif à partager sur le Dreo Chefmaker. Que ce soit l'appareil ou le service client, tout est parfait de mon expérience !
