Cosori is offering a special deal on their Alexa-enabled Air Fryer/Convection Oven which is available now. $169, which is ten dollars better than their usual $20 off coupon. I’m not saying you’ll never see this at a cheaper price, but this is definitely a good price.
Here’s a video review which will give you a good idea of the size and how the Alexa commands work.
On some models you will have to press the start/cancel button before it will accept an Alexa command. That’s supposed to be a safety feature, apparently UL is recommending it now. The button is quite easy to push, So it should work for most people. Someone who is blind will probably want to add some kind of sticker so they can be sure they pushed the right button. But once you do that, you can set all the controls with one Alexa command, like “Alexa, bake at 350° for 45 minutes.“ You will also get a notification when it’s done.
Although this is about the same size as a large microwave, it’s important to remember that it will, like a convection oven, get hot on all sides. So you should never set anything on top of it and you need to have counter space which is not underneath a cabinet.
I’ve used one briefly at a friend’s house to make sure I could push the start button, and I really liked it. We’ve just ordered one on the sale, so I’ll post more if we run into any issues with it after it arrives.
Integration with smartthings would be through Alexa routines. Again with the understanding that you might have to physically push a button on it first.
As a wheelchair user, this solves a lot of issues for me because the regular oven is just very challenging to use, and not everything tastes good coming out of the microwave.
Wasn’t sure if anybody else has been looking for this kind of smart device, but thought I’d mention it.
Note that the “accessories” this comes with are just the regular crumb tray, broiling pan, and the rotisserie holder. If you want the muffin pan and the round pizza pan you have to spend another $20 and order them as an add-on.
