Chef iQ MiniOven Review: Smart Cooking Made Easy

The kitchen appliance market is crowded, but every now and then, a product actually changes how you cook. The Chef iQ MiniOven is one of those rare finds. From my first experience, I wasn’t just testing another countertop oven. I was testing a smarter way to cook.

This small but capable oven is designed to replace multiple kitchen tools with a single smart solution. After testing various recipes and using the app integration, I can say without hesitation that this oven delivers real value.

In terms of design, the Chef iQ Mini Oven feels high-end right out of the box. The modern exterior fits well in contemporary spaces. Despite its compact exterior, the interior is unexpectedly roomy.

Flexibility is where the Chef iQ MiniOven truly excels. It features 11 cooking functions, including air frying, baking, and roasting. Rather than using multiple tools, I found myself reaching for this oven often.

Performance is another standout. The oven uses a 3200 RPM air fryer toaster oven combo DC motor that allows food to cook up to 30% faster than traditional air fryers. Meals come out evenly cooked with better texture and browning.

One of the biggest advantages is the Chef iQ app integration. I can check progress from my phone and make changes in real time. The app includes chef-tested presets that remove guesswork.

Overall, the Chef iQ MiniOven delivers smart cooking with speed and precision. If you want one appliance that does it all, this is an excellent choice.
