Likes how fast the SP101 heats and that it folds away, but the tight interior makes it inconvenient, forces air frying on two trays and is hard to clean.

Owned the SP101 and found it awesome for what it does, with a 60 second preheat, fast reliable cooking and great wings, but it is small and very hard to clean around the bottom rods.
Loved their SP101 as an all-time favorite kitchen item, but using Easy Off on stubborn grease stripped and discolored the interior so badly they trashed the $200 unit.
They really like their SP101 and use it almost nightly for dinner, but oil from food in the air fryer basket drips onto the heaters, which sit in a tight space that is hard to clean.
After a month of daily use their SP101 had stubborn black baked-on grease on the crumb tray that Dawn, scouring pads and baking soda failed to remove.
Soap and water don't work on their SP101 despite always using parchment, leaving it messy and hard to clean.
A year in, would replace the SP101 only for its flip-up footprint; air fry, bake, roast and reheat are good, but cleaning is a pain, dehydrate and keep warm are useless and large toast batches are uneven.
Went back to a basket air fryer after the SP101 because food crisped less, its fan is small and the metal tray is impossible to clean without damage.
Calls cleaning the SP101 the worst part, since the double-pane glass door fills with grease that cannot be reached without breaking the seal.
Finds the Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven a pain to clean, though another owner says the opening hatch helps.
Finds the SP101's air fry basket a pain to clean and so mostly uses a different air fryer for air frying.
