Great Product

I have been using this Thane product now for over 6 months and it has changed the way that I eat. It is everything that the TV program said it would be. The food comes out of it from a fresh or frozen state very juicy and tender - as good as or better than as if it were cooked on my grill. I'll admit it is not as easy to clean as was my grill, but I never really cleaned my grill the way I do this oven. I have tried almost everything from vegetables to frozen roasts and have been amazed at the results. Though the plastic shell cracked it was replaced with no complaint and no charge, right away. I love the thing. This is the first review that I have ever written but I thought that if others are skeptical as I was you should know that this is one super product. (I did not originally buy the chopper with it, but went back and bot it - really glad I did.)
Broken Top twice

The Deluxe model plastic top has broken twice. Looks like they realize this was a flaw since the new Turbo is made of glass. Customer Service very very poor.
Had years ago.

I had one of these when I was single and cooked for myself, I loved it. I didn't have to use a whole oven just for a small meal. I had a small stone pan and loved to make four hot chocolate chip cookies. If you don't have an oven, this will do the job for you.
Very Poor Product

Oven operated for 4 minutes only then stopped and will not start again. Not exceptable for any product at any price. Don't buy one!
Is this a copy of the NuWave?

I have run into differently branded products before, portable burner, and wondered, this looks strangely like the NuWave Oven. Is it just me?
Not what it appears to be

I have not even had this product for a year and have had to have the heater control replaced 2 times, at my expense of shipping which is not cheap. It works for a little while, but then the cooking time starts to increase with usage, leaving food uncooked! Yes I bragged to people about the product, but after time....can not do that anymore. Not satisfied. Now today, while using it the dome crated a crack. I guess you can only use it once in a while, not when ever you want.
One that really works

Have used this for about 3 years. Also bought the extender ring and had the plastic dome replaced for only $5.95 S&H. Have had no problems with the mechanism and cooks a frozen solid, bone-in ribeye roast in 2.5 hours or so. Easy to clean. Awesome product for $100.
Buyer Beware
1/23/2008 - Sara of Ohio, USA writes:
Not only was I NOT impressed with how it cooks, but after only 5 uses the heating element failed. After talking with customer service I find out that I not only have to pay shipping to return the DEFECTIVE unit, but I ALSO have to pay shipping for them to send me a new heating element! We're talking between $25 and $30 in extra shipping charges just to get a PROPERLY WORKING heating unit! This is the absolute worst warranty I have ever had to deal with. I purchased something, thinking it would work for years, and it breaks in just a few uses. Then, I'm expected to PAY MORE money to get something that works! I sure wish this had broken within the first 30 days so I could have my money refunded. The thing cooks unevenly (burns the tops of food and the inside is still rare), you have to keep the cord from touching the hot surface or it smells like it's melting, and it's not any faster than my oven! Also note, Flavorwave only posts the POSITIVE comments on their web site, so don't be fooled by all the great comments.
Amazing

I'm totally amazed by the oven. Its one of the first things that I have purchased from an infomercial and I am impressed. It does everything as advertised. I've used it for about 3yrs and am ready to order a new one. Great job flavor wave. I'm using an older model therefore I'm giving it a 4 instead of a five star due to a lack of some of the newer models features.
Love It
12/12/2007 - Linda of Illinois, USA writes:
I used the oven as soon as I received it. I had an older roast in the freezer to try it on. I would have thrown it out. It cooked, from the frozen state, in 1 hr 45 min and my husband said it was wonderful. Hope this cooks as well all the time, and over time.
Didn't last 6 months
12/5/2007 - Amit of Nebraska, USA writes:
Bought the product after seeing it on TV. Initially worked okay and I was pretty happy, but after about 4 months, the thermostat cutoff doesn't work and the light stays on continuousy. This causes the unit to overheat releasing a burning smell. I don't think I'll bother writing to the company because I don't want to pay anything more on this appliance. Guess we all get burnt by a bad product once in a while.
Don't Waist Your Money

Just ruined my second Roast. First was Ribeye Roast. This was Chuck Roast. Meat comes out spongee. Have tried several steaks with same result. Will sell it to anyone in US for 75.00 and I will pay shipping. If you like [], this will probably produce good food for you. No disrespect meant. If you like good food, don't buy one.
I love my oven

I love my oven. I am going to buy one for each of my kids. I use it all the time. I have cooked turkeys,whole chickens, baby back ribs and bacon. I love the fact that it is so easy to clean and yes it does take up room but so does a convection oven that sits on the counter. My Flavorwave oven stays out all the time so I can use it easily. It has never failed me and works like advertised. The only negative is the dome does turn yellow. No big deal. The wire to rest the dome could be improved upon but I have not had problems with it. I like how it cycles to keep the food warm. As far as drying out, I have never had that problem. The other people need to reprogram their cooking time. My food has always come out real juicy.
Flavor Wave Oven the Best !!!!!!!!!!

Not a very good product. It did not cook my food evenly and only cooks a few amount of food at a time so it kept my big family waiting for the second batch of food I had to cook. If you are baking, it requires for you to preheat the container you will be baking on. I dont recomend it to friends and will never buy one again. What a waste of money.
EXCELLENT PRODUCT

I am a former resturant owner, and I swear by this product. I bought a flavor wwave oven for my son, and I even tell my friends about the product. As I have an older model with the metal tray, I hope to get a glass tray to replaace it. As far as cooking frozen steaks, it takes approx. 60 minutes, and they come out very tender as well as chicken products
Never Again!!!
10/24/2007 - Leah of Nevada, USA writes:
We would prefer to cook primarily with the Flavor Wave if we could but this product is manufactured poorly and is never dependable. We never know if we will be able to fix our next meal because this product stops working without any warning. We constantly seem to be in transit with this company for our two exact same Flavor Wave Cookers that are still under warranty. In an attempt to make sure we could still fix our next meal we purchased a backup and it broke down too, so we are without one at all, won’t ever purchase another Flavor Wave.
works well, but hard to fit in cabinet
10/1/2007 - Adam of California, USA writes:
I bought this product many years ago when it first came out. I cooked a beef roast in it once, turned out a little dry. I did use it many times to cook a whole chicken. I could cook a whole chicken from the freezer to serving in about 3 hours. I gave the product to good-will when I moved last winter. I like the ability of the product but it was so big that it wouldn't fit in my cabinets. I kept it on top of the cabinets which was an eye-sore and difficult to reach. The units size also made it difficult to clean. Again, this unit works as advertised, but I would not recommend it to anyone who does not have sufficient storage space.
Holy Smokes!

As a therapist and nutritional researcher I was attracted to the health benefits of this product. For the most part, I agree with everything I have read thus far. I use the oven for everything I can and it cooks great. The problem: My machine would not turn off!! It just remained in warm up mode until I unplugged it. Imagine if you left the house with it turning on by itself. Just unplug after use and your safe. The company was great at replacing the unit at no charge (the house was saved and no damage done) So, as any lawyer would say, they have a duty to warn or at least inform you of this hazzard. Is your unit plugged in right now?
Works for me
9/24/2007 - Glen of California, USA writes:
I purchase my unit a while ago, so it is of a previous version. Since the unit is smaller than normal size oven and barbques, you can put a lot in it for a large family. However, for just one or two people this works out great for me. Cooking from either fresh or frozen is quicker, uses less energy, and is easy to clean. I normally use the preset 15 min. setting and found it works better to flip over meats such as burgers and chicken. French frys don't need flipping over at all. Most all of the fat does drip out of the food, so it is not cooking in it as it would be in a pot/pan. So far, I have not had any problems with my unit for several years now. I use it around twice per week when it is my turn to cook. It is probably not something you want to keep on your counter top in plain view, as it is not great looking, but it does work well. If you are needing to cook for one or two, I would recommend this to you.
