The Nuwave Brio 7.25 qt Air Fryer is a powerful machine. Still, not all homes have the capability to provide 1800 watts of power. That’s why this appliance comes with wattage control settings that allow you to lower the power draw of the machine to better match your home’s capabilities. 

With this feature, you can still enjoy air-fried food’s deliciousness without overloading your home’s power supply. So whether you’re whipping up a quick snack or cooking a full meal, the Nuwave Brio 7.25 qt Air Fryer has you covered.

As for the caveat?

100 programs can be pretty confusing. Oftentimes, you’d have to refer to the manual every time you use the manual. In other words, this will add an extra step when using the presets. 

Kind of counterintuitive when the automatic programs are supposed to make things easier, right?

Before we go to the cleaning part, let me show you an unboxing video from the brand. 

Is the NuWave Brio 7.25-qt. Air Fryer easy to clean?

Cleaning your air fryer is a breeze, especially with the NuWave 7.25 qt Air Fryer. 

All the pieces can be hand-washed, but the base tray, divider, and fry pan basket are also dishwasher safe. The manufacturer recommends loading them on your dishwasher’s top rack – so easy! 

And, no need to fret if your fryer starts to look a little greasy – you can easily take care of it! Just soak the basket and tray in hot, soapy water for about 10 minutes, then scrub them with a non-abrasive sponge.

 To clean the outside of the appliance, simply use a damp cloth to wipe the surface. The Fry Pan Divider can be removed from the Fry Pan Basket to make clean-up even more accessible. 

Just clean the Fry Pan Basket, Divider, and inside components with a non-abrasive sponge, hot water, and mild detergent. And voila – good as new!
