I had this model before at my old house. When the old model died at my new to me house, I decided to upgrade. This new model also now has the air fryer feature. Worth the additional cost.
It is nice to have 3 different cooking options without needing 3 different appliances taking up space. My first experience with an Air fryer so don't know if works the same as a countertop unit but does seem to take just as long as a regular oven bake. But other than that the unit works great.
Poor M/W. Too much work to nuke something, too many steps to nuke food for a minute; wish it had Quick timed select buttons like older models. Airfry temperature is NOT adjustable from 325 to 425 degrees in "manual" mode as the manual indicates. Only the times is adjustable; that's one reason I bought this model. No, or few, recipes on use of the microwave for airfry, roast, convection etc. It is IMPOSSIBLE to clean the inside. Did everything I was told, wipes clean but leaves marks behind. Terrible Unit
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product ads say it can air fry. However there are no clear instructions as to how. It’s just a microwave and convection oven.
