Would prefer a separate air fryer: the Duo Crisp lid takes as much room as a dedicated unit, and in two layers the top is always more cooked than the bottom.

Their Duo Crisp's proofing mode turns the fan on and dried out dough, and the slow cooker stays in preheating forever; pressure cooking is fine and sous vide works as a workaround.
Mixed results with the Duo Crisp air fryer: a pressure-cooked chicken browned nicely but a T-bone took 20 minutes and was still raw.
Air fried karaage chicken in the Duo Crisp came out soggy with a big color difference between the top and bottom trays.
Made frozen fish in the Duo Crisp at the package's 400F air fryer setting and it was still cold inside after 17-18 minutes, so it did not work well for them.
