NuWave’s Brio 6 qt. at a Glance

This NuWave model is designed to circulate hot air at high speeds to cook vegetables, meat and other foods with much less oil than a traditional deep fryer. It has a classic look with slightly a slightly rounded outer casing. The fry basket sits like a drawer in the appliance, with a cool-touch handle. Cook temperature ranges between 100-390 degrees Fahrenheit. The 6 qt. model comes with a cookbook too.

The top 3 features are:

• Digital display showing time and temperature
• Includes cookbook
• Large-capacity 6 Fry Basket

Main Benefit of the NuWave

A key finding in our NuWave Air Fryer review was the benefit of its 6 qt. basket. The large capacity of the basket that holds the foods you want to cook means that when it is full it can serve a family of 4. You save time not having to fill the basket multiple times as you would with a smaller model.

Plus, the design of this kitchen appliance enables vegetables, meats, and more to cook from all sides using air circulation, so you get consistent doneness, rather it being undercooked on one side or another. Cooking is easier too because you don’t have to flip over the food partway through the process. Speaking of easy, the cooking basket is a cinch to use and remove as it fits into the machine much like a drawer.

NuWave Air Fryer Review: The Pros

NuWave’s Brio 6 Quartz uses little to no oil, unlike a deep fryer. This means less fat and calories for the people consuming it. If you are health conscious or want to serve your family food that is better for them than traditional deep frying than it may be the one for you. Still available to you are fried chicken, French fries and more, all with a healthier way of making them.

Another great quality to point out in our NuWave air fryer review is the LED digital controls. This design feature makes see temperature and time clearly and quickly. The digital screen is easy to read. This design is an alternative to some other top 10 air fryers, such as the HOLSEM Air Fryer with its comfortable touch buttons.

Simply set the timer on the NuWave Brio to 10, 20 or 30-minute periods, based on what you are preparing to eat. And adjust the temperature by 5 degrees at a time, so you can get it exactly where you want. Plus, the digital screen gives the appliance a modern feel so you can be proud of it sitting on your kitchen counter.


It is relatively quick to cook food too, thanks to the air circulation system. Then, when you finish meal   prep, it is dishwasher safe for simple clean-up. It’s nice to have less time in the kitchen and more time with family.

As for how the food turns out, our research while writing this NuWave Air Fryer review includes reading online reviews and many users say that you can make deliciously crispy foods with this NuWave Air Fryer. The crunchy bites use only a teaspoon of oil or less yet have the taste like it was deep fried. This also tells us that the accuracy of the digital display is high as food typically comes out to the desired doneness.

Are There Any Imperfections?

For a balanced NuWave Air Fryer review, we tried to find any flaws in the kitchen appliance. We noted that it does not have a transparent lid, which some users may like so they can see how their food is doing. A see-through lid is available on the T-fal FZ7002 ActiFry. But given the accuracy of the digital controls, we don’t see this being a big issue (if at all).

This model may not be for someone who wants a bolder-looking model either as it is relatively simple looking. On the other hand, someone who seeks a classic appearance in their appliances will gravitate toward the Brio 6 qt.

Who is this Air Fryer Designed for? And How is it Unique?

The NuWave Brio 6 Quartz is made for those people who serve groups often or a family, given its large-capacity fry basket. It is also great for someone who is looking for a healthier alternative to regular deep frying, without losing out on great taste. Also, if you want a relatively fast cook, then this appliance can achieve it.

As for how it is different than the rest, a great point is that it makes delicious food without being the priciest air fryer on the market. It sits in the mid-range for cost, all while providing food that is consistently done on all sides and with a modern digital display. Lastly, it has auto-shut off when the time runs out on the dish you’re preparing so you needn’t worry that you’ve forgotten to turn it off. And the cookbook included with the fryer provides plenty of recipes to try.

Concluding Thoughts – Make deliciously crispy foods with this NuWave Air Fryer

After a thorough analysis of this NuWave Air Fryer review, we conclude that it offers great value in the typical home kitchen. While it does not have a see-through lid, it has something better: even heat distribution. The result is delicious crispy foods with this NuWave Air Fryer. A contemporary digital display, accurate temperature, and classic look, as well as the reasonable price and included cookbook, make this Brio Digital Air Fryer one that we support.
