Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aroma Housewares AST-900E AeroMatic Convection Oven
Customer Review: Five Stars So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the Aroma AST900E-Turbo Oven when the Aroma oven that I owned for over 2 years broke. To be precise, one of the three power prongs melted into the removable power cable. When I pulled out the cable, the prong came out with it and you could see where some of the rubber melted. Up until that fateful event, the oven worked great and my wife and I were very happy with it. With that I looked at other similar countertop convection ovens and decided to stick with Aroma as we could still use much of the racks and the big pot from our old one. We ordered it from Amazon on a Sunday night and got it on Wednesday - we were so happy to get our new one so quickly!
When I started using the oven I noticed some differences...
First, the power cord is permanently attached to the top heating unit - no more detachable plug. I liked having the detachable plug but it is no deal breaker. Makes me wonder if I was not the only one who had the power cord melting problem.
Secondly, it is much quieter. So much quieter in fact that we thought it wasn't working properly when we got it. We were very wrong as our food cooks way faster with this new model. A definite plus - quieter and cooks better.
All and all we are very happy with the new model although we can't vouch for its longevity yet but it cooks food wonderfully.
One cooking tip (that can used for this or any similar countertop convection over...if you put a heat resistant plate below the lower cooking rack when you cook chicken, steak, or burgers (which cook fantastic by the way) all the grease drips onto the plate (instead of the bottom of the big pot) and cleaning up is a breeze. You literally only have to clean the plate and wipe around the bowl. Very convenient!
UPDATE 2/11/2010
It has now been over two years and our Aroma Convection oven is still going strong! We use it almost every day and it is our "go to" oven for almost all of our meals. I still highly recommend it and would buy another one if this one burns out. Hopefully that will be a long time from now!
