We stayed for a couple of weeks at a house with the smaller version of this air fryer/ oven and used it frequently. We often found that we had to air fry/roast food in two batches so we didn’t crowd the items, so decided we wanted the biggest model available for our own. We are so glad we bought the big one. The footprint is not that much larger on the counter, and we can bake enough for 2-4 people at one time. In addition, we can use it as an oven to bake a pan of lasagna, or a pie, or even cookies. I love not having to use my big gas oven for these tasks.
