I'm pleased because it fills the gap between a microwave and a conventional oven with it's cooking and the between a conventional oven and my toaster oven with it's size. We don't use the conventional oven for a single meal anymore saving energy. Still mastering the art of air frying but I'm cooking perfect bacon in less than half the time of a skillet and looking forward to the dehydrate feature when next year's garden comes in. Cuisinart became my go-to brand for appliances years ago for it's balance of quality and price. Still is.
