We recently sent an f77 Super Oven Pro to YouTuber Sohbia to try in her own kitchen. The oven was a gift, so there was no script and no obligation to feature it. Fortunately, we were pleased to see it appear in her latest video, and more pleased that she liked it! Yay!
Who is Sohbia?
Sohbia is a UK YouTuber, a wife and a stay at home mum of two girls. Her channel covers cleaning, cooking and everyday family life, filmed at home rather than in a studio. That makes it a useful test for an appliance like the f77. It has to earn its place on a busy family worktop and cope with real weeknight cooking.
You can also find her on Instagram at _sohbia.
Unboxing and first impressions
Sohbia sets the oven up on her kitchen worktop, next to the window, and goes through what comes in the box. That includes the sheet of Fridja stickers we pack with every oven, which she holds up to the camera.
She tells us how she's been frustrated with previous air fryers, saying that she's found them so hard to clean that she's ended up throwing them away.
What she cooked
Here is the good bit! She made a puff pastry dish with cream cheese, courgettes, cheese and chilli flakes! It looked delicious.
What comes in the box
For anyone watching and wondering what is included, the f77 comes with:
- Baking tray
- Grill rack
- Air fry basket
- Crumb tray
- Rotisserie fork and handle
- Instruction manual and recipe book
The air fry basket, baking tray and grill rack can go in the dishwasher on the top rack. The crumb tray is washed by hand.
A few things worth knowing about the f77
The f77 is a 30L digital air fryer oven, which puts it closer to a compact oven than a basket air fryer. It has 18 presets covering air frying, roasting, baking, dehydrating and defrosting, plus manual time and temperature control if you prefer to set things yourself. A convection fan and dual heating elements do the cooking, and there is a built-in rotisserie for a whole chicken.
It measures roughly 39cm high, 43cm wide and 40cm deep, so it is worth checking your worktop space before buying. All food contact parts are PFAS free, PTFE free and PFOA free.
If you are new to this type of appliance, our guide on how to use an air fryer oven covers settings, temperatures and timings.
Is the f77 the right size for you?
30L suits families, batch cooking and anyone who wants to roast a whole chicken. If you are cooking for one or two, or short on worktop space, the 15L f66 Super Oven does most of the same jobs in a smaller footprint.
If you are kitting out a kitchen, the f77 is also available with our portable blender in the Super Kitchen Pro Duo.
Watch the video
Thanks to Sohbia for giving the f77 a fair go and sharing it with her audience! The full video is on her channel, and it is worth watching the oven section to see it in a real kitchen rather than a studio.
