Don't get me wrong, I use this almost daily! I think it a really great option if you want both an air fryer and a toaster oven and don't have the space for both. The toaster oven part of it works really well.
I do think it's vastly inferior as an air fryer than some other options, like the basket style air fryer. The heat is uneven due to the position of the elements. It's 3 evenly spaced bars (meaning there are hot spots and gaps) compared to the coil style of basket air fryers. This requires more shaking, but that's not easy to do. Due to the design, the fryer tray sits very high, so you can only cook small things. I often end up with charred tops on my chicken thighs because they touch the heating elements.
It's also both easier and harder to clean than my previous basket air fryer. It's easier because you can remove the entire bottom of it and clean. It's harder because the air fry tray's mesh design shreds through sponges like crazy.
So tl;dr, it's great if you need 2 appliances in 1 and are OK with a good toaster oven and a very mediocre air fryer.

Still, other than that, I've had zero problems making pizzas, doing lasagna, toasting bread, baking cookies, air frying frozen fries, etc.
I especially like how easy it is to clean, the lakx of plastic or nonstick, and how quickly it comes up to temperature. Also the form factor and folding up. Cooking evenly hasn't been a problem for me
There are other toaster oven/air fryer combos that are taller and can do a rotisserie chicken even. This isn't one
For the price here, and especially if you can get a refurb like mine with a tiny dent from ebay for 60 shipped, it's a great appliance and I use it almost daily for something or the other. Never have fired up oven since getting it

Again, I think this is a really great toaster oven (good for pizzas, lasagna, toasting bread, baking cookies, reheating all kinds of stuff) but isn't nearly as good an air fryer as standalone air fryers.
