Great little thing at a great price!

I haven't had it for a bit too long so I can't comment on how it holds up over time, but I've used it in a couple of settings and it's worked really well so far. I bought a larger size than what was on sale so I got a lot. I live in a small bungalow so I don't have many kitchen appliances but I love to cook so it's great to have one appliance that can do many things. I love it for the most part. If I were to change that, after preheating, you have to press the start button again to start the actual cook cycle, and you can't just add a few more minutes to the final cook cycle if you're not quite done yet. You'll have to restart the entire process, including the preheat cycle, if that means waiting for it to signal you to press the cook button again. So it's a bit inconvenient if you need more time. You can just set it longer than necessary and then set a separate timer so you don't have to reboot the system, which I do. However, you cannot avoid preheating and pressing the start button again. It buzzes to let you know when it's done. Some people don't like the buzzer, but I don't mind. At least I know when it's time, I press the start button and the noise isn't bad. This little dish is quite roomy and I've used it a number of times to cook many different things from bread to homemade chicken pies and in the air fryer and it's worked out great. I even cooked homemade pizza in it and it was delicious too. I love the fact that I don't have to turn on my big oven when I'm making something that fits in, which most of the time I do. The only thing I haven't tried yet is the grill. Oh, and if you take the time to wipe it down after each use, it's super easy to keep clean. My oven isn't on the counter, so I didn't have the problem some people talk about with the oven door falling off and hitting the counter. I have mine on a trolley so there's nothing to knock about. I noticed that when you open it, it opens and stays supported in the first and second positions, which is up to a 45% angle before the weight of the door gets too heavy and just falls over if you don't support it. with your hand, and since I don't have a counter under mine, I can see that it's over 90% open. So if you don't support it properly with your hand, it will crash against your countertop. It is therefore important that you support the door properly. I don't think this is a manufacturing defect of the oven, more a safety feature. I know when I open the wagon's lid, the way it opens protects me from accidental burns and also helps me remove the crumb tray more easily and make cleaning easier. Anyway, that's my mustard why the door opens more than 90%. I don't know if they could incorporate hinges that would keep the door from becoming too heavy after the 45% angle was reached, but my other toaster ovens were no different. As for the rest of the features, it's very simple for us. I like that you can turn the stove on and off. Oh there is a feature of this oven, I don't understand why they added it. He has a watch which is a great idea; However, the manual says you have to unplug the device every time you use it to let it cool down, which resets the clock. So if you want to use the watch as a watch, you have to reset the watch every time you use the device if you want to use it according to the instructions in the manual. I just leave mine unplugged until I want to use it, so I don't use the clock function. I didn't buy it for the clock function. I highly recommend this little oven if you are looking for a combi oven. It's definitely a good buy for the money and it serves its purpose very well. I'm a single person but this thing is enough for the whole family. In any case, you can prepare many foods at the same time in an air fryer. It comes with a basket and a flat air fry rack. In fact, it has a lot of good things to use. It can bake a 13 inch pizza. Inner size 13.5 inch x 13.5 inch, height 8.5 inch. I've added photos of several dishes I've cooked in the oven since using it. 12 inch pizza topped with fresh mozzarella. The bread is a homemade sticky bread with cinnamon. And the chicken pot pie is a giant homemade plate measuring 10 inches deep. I've also baked biscuits and other breads in it and they come out really well. which I cook so they don't get too brown on top before cooking inside, which is fine. I think this applies to any smaller oven you use to bake pastries or baked goods that say something that cooks fairly quickly , like pizza. Overall I think this is a great little oven and worth the price you are paying for it. I'm definitely glad I bought mine. I only gave it 4 stars because there are issues with the clock which is basically a useless feature when you use the device like the manufacturer tells you by unplugging it every time you use it, and because this is the case, in order to extend the time once you have started your cooking event, you will have to restart everything, including another preheating phase.
