This oven is great! I have used the proofing mode and my bread came out beautifully puffy in less time than needed. The air fry we have tried once without the pan and it was ok. It does say in the instructions that the air fry works best with convenience food. We ordered the pan as well to see if that makes a difference. The air fry pan is not included in the oven purchase. It does take longer for it to heat up than our old oven but it's more consistent heating so I do not mind it. The convection is great and I will use it a bunch.. .....Be warned that when you first turn it on it will more than likely smoke for a bit. Which was concerning  at first until we saw it happened to a few others as well. Never having a new oven before, I didn't know that was a thing. I do not know why it's not stated in the instructions or the quick setup flyer. It will smoke for a bit after first turning it on.
