Good operating range. It is quiet and heats up quickly. The temperature is accurate. I have tried about half of the settings thus far and have not been disappointed.
Works great! We had an issue with the start/stop button not working, so we had the unit replaced under warranty. Other than that, it’s a great product!
We previously owned a Cuisinart multifunction air fryer/toaster oven and had been extremely happy with that purchase for about 3-4 years. When the door's contact switch broke and it no longer functioned, I had every intent on purchasing the current version of that unit, but instead upgraded to the slightly more expensive Breville. Could not be happier with the change. The Breville offers a about 1.5X the capacity, a comparably excellent air frying option, and host of additional functionality (the pizza setting was a tremendous surprise!). So long as it stands the test of time, this has been a great find and the family is quite happy with the step up!
I have tried 2 of these ovens and I am disappointed, Identical problems on both of them. Leaking grease/oil from both of them underneath on right side. Perhaps a design flaw? I dont know, I am not pleased with this item

Thank you for your review. I can confirm for you that depending on the moisture content of the food you're air frying, there will be steam emitted from the door. The vents in the door are for just that purpose. The steam will get on the display panel. You'll see this noted in the user's manual, including under the Trouble Shooting section.
Steam is coming out from the oven door • This is normal. The door is vented to release steam created from high moisture content foods such as frozen breads.
Water is dripping onto counter from under door • This is normal. The condensation created from high moisture content foods such as frozen breads will run down the inside of the door and can drip onto the counter.
Since condensation builds up, if you are air frying fatty foods, grease can definitely be emitted along with the condensation. That's why we do suggest in the manual that when cooking fatty foods (e.g. chicken wings) use roasting pan instead of air fry/dehydrate basket to prevent the oil dripping. Discard excess oil in between the batches.
Please reach out if other issues or questions arise. We'll be happy to help.
