If you searched for the Our Place air fryer, what you found is the Wonder Oven — a countertop convection oven with an air fry mode among five or seven others. That distinction is not pedantry. It changes what the machine is good at and what you should compare it against.
Three models exist: $185 at 12 L, $245 at 28 L, and $325 at 28 L with two extra modes.
A basket air fryer is a small, deep chamber with a powerful fan very close to the food. Its whole design is about moving a lot of hot air past a small volume, fast. That is why a $90 basket fryer crisps chips well and does almost nothing else.
A convection oven with an air fry mode is a wide, shallow chamber with a fan and elements arranged for even roasting. It spreads food out on a tray rather than tumbling it in a basket. That geometry is better for a tray of vegetables, a chicken, or toast, and it is inherently less aggressive at crisping a deep pile of frozen chips.
Neither is better. They are different tools, and buying a Wonder Oven expecting basket-fryer behaviour is the single most predictable disappointment in this category. Buying it as a small second oven that also air fries is the realistic framing.
Every model ships with a dedicated air fryer basket, a wire rack, a bake pan and a crumb tray. On the standard and Pro models Our Place states the accessories are made without PTFE (Teflon), PFOA, PFAS, lead and cadmium; the bake pan is aluminium with a ceramic coating described as non-toxic.
The temperature ceiling on all three is 450°F. That is worth knowing, because many basket fryers reach 400–450°F too — so the ceiling is not the limiting factor. Air movement and chamber size are.
The standard 12 L model does not publish a wattage figure at all. The Large and Pro both draw 1700 W. For air frying specifically, power and fan design matter more than mode count, so the missing figure on the cheapest model is a genuine gap rather than a trivial omission.
If air frying for more than two people is the main use, the 28 L models give you nearly twice the floor area to spread food in a single layer — and single-layer spread is what actually determines whether air frying works. The Pro's extra modes are irrelevant to this particular job, so the Large at $245 is the sensible choice.
Buy a Wonder Oven if you want one appliance that roasts, bakes, toasts, reheats and air fries competently, and you are happy for the air frying to be one capability rather than the specialism.
Buy a dedicated basket fryer if crisping is genuinely the reason you are shopping. It will cost less, do that one job harder, and take up less room. Recommending against the product we earn a commission on is the only sensible answer when the alternative is someone spending $185 to $325 on the wrong shape of machine.
Nearly twice the floor area for single-layer spread.
Check price at Our PlaceWe have not air fried anything in a Wonder Oven. This page explains what the published specifications and the physical design of a convection oven imply, which is not the same as measuring how crisp a batch of chips comes out. If you want that answer, look for a long-term owner review with photographs — and be sceptical of any site that claims a rigorous test and shows none.
Specifications read from fromourplace.com product pages, prices from the store's product data, both on 25 August 2026. Where a figure is not published — the standard model's wattage — this page says so. 1919 Cookware earns a commission on purchases made through these links at no cost to you.
