This Oven does everything that I would expect an oven/air fryer to do and does it very well. Very happy I made the purchase after a recommendation from my son who is an excellent cook.
Although the temperature is stated on the digital screen, it is difficult to know how well the machine is maintaining that exact temperature throughout the entire time. Also, the baking pan that was included is difficult to properly clean.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Received this for Christmas 2022 so haven't used a real long time yet but, so far absolutely loving it! I agree with others that suggested to put a non-stick sylacone mat in the bottom pull out catch try.
Overall we are satisfied with the oven, however, there are some improvements that could be made.
Showing the current temperature during pre-heat would be a nice way to gauge prep time. This would eliminate falling behind or being too early.
Allow the cooking timer to be manually started instead of doing so automatically. Once the oven reaches cooking temperature, the timer starts counting down and forces you to either be quick getting items in the oven and/or having to adjust the time afterwards.
I bought this about a month ago and have honestly used it every single day!! I have used bake, airfry, reheat, dehydrate and more but the clear winner is the airfry option. My only recommendation for users is to place a pan lined with aluminum foil on the bottom to catch crumbs that way you don't dirty up the crumb catcher!
I bought the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro a month ago to replace an old toaster oven, under recommendation of one of my daughters that had already bought one. I wish that I had purchased it sooner. Upon installing the unit, It became the most used tool in my kitchen. I can't wait to taste any future culinary preparation that I can dream up in my Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
Saw this about a year ago and waited to buy it...not sure why! It's a great product! It does everything we need it to do and much more. Excellent and would highly recommend!
