So you could buy it for $299.95 with free shipping and get 44.99 cashback and $40 in Macy's cash to spend later.
PayPal payment using Chase Freedom would offer another 5% cashback on the sale price.

Is it that much better to pay double for?

One of my considerations was design/control location. As you can see with the Ninja, all the controls and electronics seem to be on top, where the heat travels. This may or may not affect its longevity. But then again, folks are reporting a 3 year life on the Breville (I'm not there yet, 2 more years). In that time, you could have 2 of these Ninjas for less. Guess it depends on your budget.
I love my Breville as it does a lot of my toaster oven tasks significantly better than the cheaper ones. And we use our actual oven way less which we've only had to use once since getting the Breville versus the dozen or so times we normally use the oven.

Reading Amazon reviews is a down also. So many people (when filter by most recent) have issues with it...makes it kind of scary to order.

I'm also not sure what reviews you're talking about. Most of the recent Amazon reviews are very favorable. The recent 1 star reviews mostly refer to shipping damage so if anything it would be important to buy it from a retailer with easy returns and exchanges.

I'm talking about 15 c b. Then 5% Chase cb. I was thinking I had another discount but perhaps not. with 15% cb and 5% for using Chase, it should come out more like 240 + the Macy's cash.

Only use the air fryer basket with the netting as it allows air to circulate around the entire unit. My wife used the trays and said the air fryer sucks. I told her she's using it wrong. Using the air fryer tray only works great.

But if you are looking for an air fryer, this may not be for you.
I have been using this oven for years. I am now on my second unit. The fan died in the first unit.
Except for the fan, it is very well built. You may as well think of it as a smaller version of an oven. In fact, your regular oven will likely become a place to store pots and pans. There are more options than you will ever likely use. And it cooks well.
Having said all that...the air frying capabilities are mediocre, at best. I decided to run this next to one of the Ninja Flip Up units. What I am discovering is that, given the option, I will take air frying over most any other option. The Ninja produces much more air and does so with almost no noise.
The Breville puts out a fraction of the air and sounds like a wind tunnel doing so.
The catch is that you need to learn what temps to cook at with the Ninja. If you cook at the temps that you always have, it will burn whatever you are cooking. Even at lower temps, food cooks faster in the Ninja.
The Breville cooks slower than the Ninja...but it is not slow. It is still a little faster than a normal oven.
The quality of the Ninja air frying is worlds above the Breville. You can actually make decent fries.
I thought that the lower profile of the Ninja might be an issue...but so far it has not been the case.
It is clear that the Ninja is not as sturdy as the Breville. I really do not know if this is just in the casing or if the internals will fail faster too. But, to be fair, it is significantly less expensive.
I am finding that, despite the good service of the Breville, the lack of quality in the air fryer has led to me using the Ninja on a daily basis. The Breville is starting to gather dust. This is why I had them in a side by side .....to determine how much I would really use the sir fryer. And it is significant.
