So far so good! I already made chocolate chip cookies and chicken wings and breasts in it, all came out perfect ! It gives me a bunch of new ideas to try out in the future!
Chicken was amazing but my potatoes were still hard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this for two primary reasons. 1) Non toxic - glass and stainless. 2) To roast a whole chicken. I was a little concerned when I bought this that it may be too powerful at 1800 watts but I really have been trying to move everything to non toxic and no plastics so I thought it was worth a shot. The problem is the 5 lb chicken resulted in the breast and leg tips of the chicken to be in direct contact with the heating element. I couldn't imagine how I would get an even roasting with a nice brown crust since the heat would be in direct contact and interfere with the circulation as well. I didn't. It burned terribly and the cooking was uneven. I'm sure it would work well for other air fryer functions but my purpose was to roast a chicken. I like being able to do this on my patio rather than smell up the house and this would have been ideal had the 6 qt been closer to 8 or 10 qts in size.
I am going to look for a circulating glass oven that uses heating elements and not infrared. I've used infrared and it burns in spots. That's another reason this oven might have been ideal had it been larger. It has a coil heating unit. (Note: I did start the chicken with backside up and rotated after about 30 minutes. The burn would have been worse if it had stayed on one side- like cooking only the breast side.
