Hello all, I have had my Deni oven for about 5 years now and it still works fine ! I have had at least 5 Jetstream Ovens burn out on me over the last 15 years or so,none lasting much over a year ! But I tell you no lie the Jetstream Ovens puts the Deni and the FlavorWave to shame when it comes to cooking things like Air Fried Chicken,pizza and hot dogs !I did not have to turn my chicken over when I used the Jetstream Ovens because of the high air output of the Jetstream Ovens"4000 RPM fan speed"! But I do have to turn the chicken over when it comes to the low air output of the Deni and FlavorWave ovens!
The Deni and FlavorWave are far more durable then the Jetstream Ovens,but when it comes to cooking,they just can't compete,their air output is way too low !!!The FlavorWave cooks far better then the Deni,on a scale of 1 to ten...10 being the highest I would give the FlavorWave maybe a high 7 to a low 8,and I would give the Deni a five or low 6,but the JetStream Ovens I would give a high 9 or 10 !I hate the fact that the Jetstream Ovens don't last long,and I wish I could find a durable low priced convection oven with the same high 4000 RPM fan speed of the Jetstream Ovens,but after looking for many years I have had no luck what so ever !
I give the Deni a 4 out of 5 over all rating because I love how durable and reliable it is ! The Deni seems to be the most durable out of the 3 ovens! But as far as cooking goes,it needs a far more powerful fan in it! When I cook pizza in the Deni the top comes out fine but the bottom comes out soft and half uncooked! I have to overcook the top in order to cook the bottom the way I like it!The FlavorWave did a better job with the pizza! On a scale of 1 to ten I would give the Deni a 4 on pizza,the FlavorWave would get a 7 or 8 and the Jetstream would get a 9 or 10! I must warn you that the Jetstream can blow any light weight toppings on the pizza around if you don't put a rack right above the pizza to hold and keep the toppings in place. But to me that's a small price to pay. As far as air fried chicken goes that is where the JetStream Oven blows the Deni and the FlavorWave completely away !
I would rate the Deni a 4, the FlavorWave a 7 and the Jetstream oven a 10 + when it comes to Air Fried Chicken . The FlavorWave gets a 7 because it does a good job on the chicken, its nice and juicy on the inside and the skin is done fairly well . Now when it comes to the Jetstream..not only is the chicken nice and juicy, but the skin is cooked to Perfection!!!!It comes out better then real fried chicken skin,but without all the grease !I am hooked on the Jetstream oven mostly because of how great of a job it does on cooking Air Fried Chicken !!!
Let me say it again, I hate the durability or lack of durability of the Jetstream ovens, and I and many others wish Nesco would make their ovens to last !
Nesco won't even offer an extended warranty on their Jetstream ovens,so what does that tell you about the quality or lack of durability of the Jetstream ovens ?But it still looks like I have to buy another Jetstream oven if I want the best Air Fried Chicken in town !I still wish someone would make a high air output convection oven that is durable,so that I could tell Nesco where to go with their great cooking,low durability,falling apart,and cracking into many pieces Jetstream ovens !!!!!!!
As far as the Deni oven goes,I can say it is very very durable,no melting parts,no cracking,no falling apart ! On the other hand,it is only so so when it comes to cooking with its weak low speed fan !
Here's how I rate the 3 ovens on a scale of 1 to ten 10!

I've been wanting a deep fat fryer for years. I didn't want to deal with most units as they hold 3 or 4 quarts of oil. This little guy only holds 1 quart max. It will even work fine with just half a quart of oil. So far I'm very happy using vegetable oil. It heats up in a couple minutes. It cooks quickly and with the lid, it doesn't make a mess. The unit is quite small so if you're going to cook for more than 2 people, get a bigger unit. In fact, now that I'm thinking about it. I think I'll make some fish fillets and french fries, AKA: fish-n-chips for lunch today. I got this on sale but it's still worth the price. I've been using it often for over a month now and the only con so far is that it doesn't clean itself. To the person who couldn't get the lid to close: Just tilt the basket a little, it will close just fine.
