We bought this to replace a dying wall oven we couldn't afford to fix right away, and for about two years it did almost all our cooking for a family of four. Sheet pan dinners, chicken thighs, frozen fries on air fry, a 9x13 lasagna. Results were really good and very even once I learned to use the top rack position for air frying. It heats up way faster than a big oven. Downsides I lived with: toast is slow, a couple of slices take ages compared to a real toaster. Dehydrating jerky left water dripping out of the door onto the counter. And cleaning the inside is a pain, grease bakes onto the walls around the elements and you can't scrub near them because the quartz elements are fragile. Then at about 26 months the convection fan stopped spinning. Warranty was two years, so we were just past it, and getting the part was a runaround. At that price it should have outlived two years easily.
