QVC [qvc.com] has the Calphalon Quartz Heat Countertop Oven (a convection toaster oven) for $98.87 + $7.50 S&H. First time buyers can use this coupon for $10 off your first order of $25+: FRIEND.

This is model TSCLTRDG1 and is listed on the Calphalon website [calphalon.com] for $209.99. It has 4.5 stars on Amazon [amazon.com], where it's currently listed at effectively $179 ($199 + 10% coupon). Costco sells a slightly different model for $180 advertised as "Toaster Oven with Air Fry," which appears to be this same unit with an "air fry" setting.

people, convection oven is a bigger air fryer.

people paying $50-60 bucks for an airfryer. spend a little more for an all in one like this that does way more
The added air fry setting in the Costco model is probably just marketing. A convection oven is essentially the same thing as an air fryer.
i own this unit so i know it will air fry

So here's all I care about. Will this do everything my oven does in less than half the time + be crisper + is easy to wipe down / clean if I buckle down and wipe it after each use?

*I have a convection oven

When it comes to convection ovens, there's a few types:
1) Periodic circulation
2) Constant side circulator (roast mode)
3) Air Impingement only
4) Air impingement + Radiant heat

Listed in the order of effectiveness.
The Phillips bucket style air fryers are type 3. This one is type 2.
Less effective theoretically but more important is the size, insulation, and set up of the heating elements.
American homes are limited to 120v at 15 amps (1800 watts) so the heat Flux is the same at max no matter the model.
The smaller the cavity and better insulated, the heat is more concentrated but small units also have the limitation of reduced flow and the possibility of steaming which limits the temperature to boiling. So you need enough space to exhaust the steam.

The speed of the fan won't change the removal of steam if the design of the cavity and vents is the same.

But but but, all these new mechanics are just marketing buzzwords. My oven looks the same! Covid is fake! /sarcasm

So I'm checking the insertion manuals for this deal on QVC aand Costco and it seems to show the same model. So are they the same? Also how is Calphalon's customer service? May burn the extra 80 to get Costco's great return policy.

Oh come on salty poster, we all loved seeing your desperate attempts to make the term "air-fry" anything more than a marketing term for a sup'd-up convection oven. If you were intellectually honest, you'd realize that to most people, there's no difference.

Appliance 1 makes thing hot + fan = convection oven
Appliance 2 makes thing hot + more fan = air fryer

Now the appliance manufacturers can sell you suckers a second appliance! Stop buying the hype drizzle

I have an advantium speed cook oven, a toaster oven, a convection wall oven, and an air fryer - I can personally attest there is a difference cooking in each one. The air fryer is much better at frozen french frys & reheating restaurant leftovers than the convection oven, and its because of the fan speed. Tell me why...

only thing I don't like - you have to wait around to hit start button again after preheating. If I walk away and forget, the oven gets cold.

The trick is just double tap the start button.

Yes, I learned this the hard way

I have a similar all in one (Nuwave Bravo XL 1800w smart oven w/ air frying function) and it's a terrific toaster/baking oven but it is terrible at air frying. AIO ovens, including the Calphalon from this deal, have the fan circulating air from the right side of the unit instead of on top, like standalone air fryers. My girlfriend and other friends have standalone air fryers (Nuwave Brio 6qt, Philips XXL) that have a large fan circulating heat from the top, which is also where the heating element is. I believe the standalone's massive fan (surface area on top is larger than surface area on the side) and heating element also on top is the reason why those air fry much crispier and evenly than an all in one. At least in my experience, it's not even close.

Don't get a counter-top oven that doesn't truly air fry, you'll regret it. Unless you have a stand-alone air fryer I guess. I don't have this unit, but my Cuisinart blows air from above and comes with a fryer basket, while this one blows from the side and doesn't. I feel like that makes a big difference.

So I will say that on the subject of whether air-frying and convection baking are different, that there is some truth to it in some ways. They are both convection baking. One circulates the air hotter and faster. You have to adjust cooking times accordingly. Most of these devices let you set the temperature so the real difference is fan speed. I will ignore the radiant heating in ovens and assume it's not involved when convection baking.

In most cases I'm inclined to say that fan speed is not going to do much for heat exchange. All a fan accomplishes as far as heat is remixing the air around the food being baked. The air cools as it loses heat to the food and creates an insulating layer from the other hotter air. I'm inclined to think that the benefits of blowing faster are negligible. There is certainly a point of diminishing returns and I can't think of why the design for a convection oven wouldn't reach and stop at that point for heat exchange.

Probably the more useful aspect of the higher fan speed is moisture exchange. The higher fan speed will dry food more, helping it crisp. That combined with higher heat settings for air-fry recipes likely results in crispier fried like food in an air-fryer. Is it meaningfully different? A matter of taste I'd think. A convection oven will certainly provide you with crisp food too.

Way to prove his point. you even said it, MORE FAN. The air velocities for an air fryer are totally different from a convection oven. Why morons keep arguing a Honda is the same as a Ferrari simply because they are both cars is moronic.

Some people just just like to troll from their mom's basement I guess.

Seems to me the winner of these type arguments are magically the ones supporting immediate sale of the posted item.
Whenever someone points out anything that is detrimental to the product (i.e. sales), all these no-rep people come out of woodwork.
Or, maybe it's just that people who have used air fryers get tired of idiots posting fakenews and foolish arguments.

Maybe, just maybe it's not a marketing/sales person conspiracy theory after all!
