Works well and using it often
I have had this oven for more than a month and it performs very well in all functions. Air frying is easy and it cuts the cooking time almost in half for pork chops, burgers, steaks and fish fillets. After you have conquered the learning curve, your results will be more than satisfactory .
When you first start using the air fry feature, you must get a feel how long it will take to air fry steaks, chops, fillets, fries and deserts. My first try was air frying catfish fillets. The fillets were not of a consistent thickness, so the edges were overcooked and the center of the fillets were just right. The fillets were not crispy on the bottom either. It would be best if the fillets were cut up in sections and then fried separately - Lesson learned.
The next meal was seasoned pork chops and I set the timer for 12 minutes, but flipped them over halfway into the cooking cycle. The result was - golden brown outsides and juicy and tender inside. Same result with burgers and strip steaks.
I like that the oven has a light so you can watch your meal cook and know when it is time to flip your meats or fries. The oven shut-off when opening the door is also a handy safety feature. The only con is that the basket and tray are not dishwasher safe (per the manual) I spray Pam on the basket and cover the tray with aluminum foil to minimize clean-up time.
I will use this oven often and I highly recommend.
