I've had one of the air fryer lid attachments for the 6-quart instant pot for a year now and I've had a 6 quart basket air fryer for about six months. I've been using this toaster style air fryer for about a month now. All three work good but I prefer this toaster style one.The one with the basket is pretty frustrating to clean the inside bottom of the the part of the basket that holes in it. Part of what makes that frustrating is that you have to have your arm at a pretty good upward angle to reach the bottom. With this toaster style you can clean the bottom with your arm horizontal which is much easier. There is also a drip tray for the toaster style which has caught the majority of the drippings each time I've used it. Being able to remove that to clean all that is much easier for the cleaning than with the basket kind and there is always very little that needs to be cleaned from the bottom of the air fryer itself.The other air fryers I have don't have a preheat function and you just have to guess if you've preheated them enough. This one has a preheat function but I'm not sure if has any kind of heat sensor to be able to tell if it's up to temp. or if it just works off of a time for how long it should take to get up to temp.. If you cook something in this and it isn't done cooking at the end of the cook time you have to go through the preheating process again to cook it longer. You also can't add time to the cooking timer after you've gotten the cooking started. To cook whatever longer than the time you set it for you have to wait either wait for the cooking timer to run out and set all the settings with that additional amount of time or you could probably press CANCEL and do all the settings for the time that was left along with the additionalCooking with this does take longer than with either of the other air fryers but I can fit what I could fill both of those with (using both of those 6 quart air fryers at the same time) into this one at once. That leave both of those other ones available for cooking other things while I cook something big with this one.One last bit of advice. There are 4 bulges on the inside walls on both sides. In between those bulges make up the slots where you're supposed to slide the cooking trays. There are 3 of those slots. The top of that highest shouldn't really be used as a fourth unless maybe you're cooking something on that tray that is very short (such as maybe potato slices to make potato chips rather than meat patties to make burgers). I found that out the hard way. I put burger patties up there and it was tough to slide that tray back out because the tops of the burgers were hitting the underside of the top heating elements. I also wasn't sure if I that was damaging the heating elements but it did cause a good amount of smoke.

Am so pleased with this. Easy to use, perfect toast, love the curve in the back to fit bigger dishes. The air fryer option is simply amazing, and cooks perfectly! I cook a lot, and this has met my needs perfectly for an incredible price. Was skeptical at first to buy a brand I wasn't familiar with, but when I saw the same one at Costco I was sold, and got it $20 cheaper on Amazon! I couldn't be happier. Takes much less time to preheat than I thought it would, the one negative review I had read. People sometimes don't realize how important this step is to properly cook your food. My ex is a 5 star chef and I learned from the best! Buy, buy, buy! I am giving an independent review without any compensation. Too many people are willing to take time to complain, but rarely to praise a great product.

The media could not be loaded. Likes: the clean stainless look of it, big display, seems to cook evenly, well lit inside, not complicated, it will continue cooking when you open the door (to stick a fork in it)Dislikes: You can't alter the heat once the cooking process starts, no preheat bypass, loud beeps on settings, no beep volume lowering or mute option, top and back outer surfaces have no insulation (radiates alot of heat here), it will continue cooking when you open the door (i have kids).overall, my first impressions are good. it seems to me like the preheat function overheats it to get to temperature fast, then comes down. maybe why all the "runs too hot" comments. I'm sure we'll learn her personality and make it work. I'll append this review as i use it. have not air fried yet. see videoAlmost a week of use now... fish sticks and fries air fried great! toll house cookies baked perfect, but set to 350 not 375 per the recipe. they are right, this thing does cook a bit on the hot side. but figuring it out. more to come...

Love this toaster oven! It looks sleek - we leave it on the counter because we use it just about every day. We do a lot of baking in it, cookies, brownies, cake, biscuits, etc. It does fit a 9x13 pan (without handles). We air fried frozen french fries & they turned out perfect! Used the connection oven for meatloaf & pot pie - turned out great also. Also works great for heating up leftovers as well.One thing I wish it had was more ranges of temps to bake. Range is 275 - 425°. A lower temp would be nice to keep warm. Then I had a recipe that called for 450°, so I had to allow more time. The convection oven, however, has a range of 150 - 450°.It does seem to take a long time to make toast tho. (Just need to allow extra time for that).All in all, we love it! Not a big learning curve to use the functions, fairly easy. I love the inside light and the clock display!

After reading all the reviews, (on this brand and then some) I was a little skeptical on some issues. I have to say, so far, this airfryer has exceeded my expectations!Yes, you need to preheat, 5 minutes, but I just put in food when it's preheating and lower my time to cook.Yes, the outside gets hot. However after several uses, it's not as drastically hot, just like your brand new toaster did when you bought it.Yes, listen to others when they say to clean it after each use. Mine didn't look dirty but low and behold, little miniscule oil spots/splatters showed up during next cook time and don't come off the trays.Yes, the controls seem a bit overwhelming at first, now it's second nature to set.I've used the airfryer function mostly, pizza and bake and it's done everything I've expected and more!Great little unit for a great price.
