MixedSummary of a Reddit post
Owned the ChefMaker about six months: cool, but would not buy again. The probe is the best feature, and the water-spray feature is hit and miss and doubles or triples cooking time. A cheaper air fryer could be 95% as good.
Most owners use it heavily and like how it cooks salmon, steak and burgers without drying them out. The probe gets praise.
Of the 10 reviews with a clear verdict, 90% are positive, 10% mixed and 0% negative. The praise mentioned most is cooks evenly. The most common complaint is overpriced.
The praise reviewers mention most: cooks evenly (5 reviews), solid build (4 reviews) and easy to use (2 reviews). For example: Has had the Dreo with probe for over a year and says it makes the best steak and burgers they have had, calling the air fryer underrated.
The complaints reviewers mention most: overpriced (1 review) and uneven cooking (1 review).
It's how well reviewed Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
