I purchased this product because my microwave had died over a year ago and I had wanted an air fryer. I already had a nice countertop convection oven so figured this would give me the ability to do 2 things at once. So after using it since last Friday here are my feelings broken down by function.
1. Microwave: It is a bog standard microwave with 10 power setting and decent control. Have cooked one product in it, peas that steam in their bag, and the results were fine.
2. Convection over: Have done, again, one thing in it. nice preheat feature which brings it up to the requested setting then waits for you to put in the food and tell it how long to cook. Now, for me, the downside, my set point for the item was 350 degrees and over the 15 minutes of cooking I watched the indicated temperature vary from 146 to 152. Now really a good hold for a temperature. Good feature was the food rotated while cooking so it was an even product. Am trying a different item tonight and will update. 11/18/19 update: This evening I roasted some potatoes at 400 degrees for 40 minutes and the results were fine, but I noted that the indicated temperature varied from 382 to 404 degrees during the cooking time. This is a 22 degree fluctuation and feel this is not acceptable regardless of whether it is due to a faulty indicator or bad thermometer.
Air fryer: This is the main reason that I only give it 3 stars at present. There is no, as far as I can see, preheat for this feature and, further, it only has one heat option, 425 degrees. This creates a problem since many air fryer receipts call for temperature setting other then 425. Now, for preheat, you can fool it by calling for convection and getting it up to temperature that way. Since there is only the 425, you will have to play around with time to cook things properly. Yes there are presets, but most of what I would do are not in these presets.
4. Alexa control: So far this seems to work fine. The Alexa button on the front is a good feature so you can bypass having to say 'Alexa'.
As I get into using the oven, I will update this review.
UPDATE 11/20/19: As I continue to explore how this oven functions, I believe that I have figured out why I am getting such wide fluctuations in temperature in the oven box. Because it is also a microwave, the workings of the oven including the heating elements are located in a separate area that is shielded. It is the circulation fan that brings the hot air into the main box but I am thinking that the temperature probe is located in the air stream so when the heating elements go off the cooler air blows over it and drops the indicated temperature and conversely when the elements cut on, the warmer air raises the indicated temperature. I am going to put an old fashion oven thermometer into the box and watch it over the course of a cook. Will report my findings. This also explains why it takes so long to preheat.
