Ordered this to replace another brand of air fryer/toaster oven that died after 9 months. So far, after 4 days, this oven is working as expected. I did have to make adjustments to the time and temperature when making toast, and I lower the temp when air frying. Using the oven for various tasks is very easy and pretty much intuitive.
So far, I’ve made toast, lamb chops, chicken wings, chicken parm, meatloaf with baked potatoes, and roasted veggies. The longest the oven has run is 45 minutes at 350, then 10 mins at 425 and none of the outside surfaces got too extremely hot.
When on Air Fry, this oven is a bit noisier than my other oven. It’s not bad, but you can definitely tell it’s on. The oven doesn’t get overly hot when it’s working, but I have it set on a heat-resistant counter protecter and I have another protecter placed behind the oven to protect the wall. I also wrapped the wire in several layers of aluminum foil to protect it from any heat from the back.
It’s easy to clean the inside. I wipe it down with a mix of water, white vinegar, and a little bit of Dawn dishwashing soap. I wash the air fry basket and oven rack by hand, and I covered the baking pan with foil to protect it and make clean up easier.
My only complaints (and these are not really complaints, more like mild annoyances) are that 1) the crumb tray is just slightly wider than a regular size piece of aluminum foil, so if you want to completely line the tray, you need two pieces of foil. And, 2) the rack has a tendency to pitch forward if you pull it too far out of the oven, so you need to be mindful of that when checking food temps, etc., while cooking.
So…so far, so good. I did purchase the optional warranty, just in case this one dies after a while. Thankfully, I had that on the other oven. Fingers crossed I won’t need it on this one.
