I've had this item for about 3.5 months. It was to replace two items, my microwave that finally conked out and an air fryer that was taking valuable counter space.Pros:*Microwave feature works very well*Interior is easy to clean*Overall design is attractive and modern*Lots of positive reviewsCons:*When air-frying and broiling, it takes longer than my old unit, sometimes double the recommended time. But even so, it doesn't fully crisp the food items as well as my prior unit, therefore currently using my oven.*Condensation builds up along the walls and door after just a few minutes of cooking time... lots of steam comes out when you open the door! While other reviewers complained of these issues, the company responded this as being common and normalized it. That is disappointing. Seems like a fan exhaust issue. I'm concerned of future mold issues.*The "remove odor" feature takes 5 minutes and doesn't remove odors.*The 2 included inserts are awkward...a metal rack with rubber feet to elevate and a nonstick perforated tray that lays on top of that.1) If cooking/baking/air-frying any food that will emit drippings or grease, it will drip through the perforated tray onto the microwavable clear plate. I've been using a paper plate or a small dinner plate (additional item to wash) to catch everything, otherwise this would be very messy.2) When air-frying or broiling, the elevated rack makes it difficult to flip food items and remove the hot tray from the mic. There isn't much room between the insert tray and ceiling, therefore you have to take everything out of the mic, flip and then put everything back in. This creates a mess because of the perforated tray mentioned in #1.Things to note...*The depth of this mic takes more space than an average mic. The elements in the back of the unit extend out by a couple of inches more from the actual box.*The size of the inside cavity is the same as my old mic, yet because it's a combo, it is 2-3x heavier. I mentioned this for those who have difficulty lifting heavy items.For this price point, I feel robbed and can not recommend this product. Currently, I'm using it as a microwave and nothing else, as it's other combo features are awkward and do not function well.

The box had side damage, but did not damage the microwave. The item was well packaged. We purchased to replace old microwave, was a bonus that this had the air fryer. A little of a learning curve to use, but watched a you tube video 1st, which really helped. Tried the air fryer last night to make chicken wings, I put parchment paper in the basket/tray, which helped with clean up. Did the wings at 400, for 12 min each side, turned out perfect. If you're short on counter space, like myself, and didn't want another appliance taking up limited space, I would recommend this unit.

Multi use microwave, it’s great, works great, air fryer Is impressive, Air fryer Is not huge but enough for 1-22 people. ( It holds 12 Small wings around the edge and fries In the center. It’s great reheating fries, pizza really anything! It’s $250 dollars cheaper then Best Buy on the exact same model number And it’s delivered to my door for free. I definitely recommend this to anyone.

Have had this microwave for about a month now, bought it to replace my 20-year old Panasonic that had suddenly started taking much longer to heat. Chose this because it also has the convection/air fryer function. The 'regular' oven function works great - heats fast (minutes) and cooks well (chicken wings, roasted garlic) - very useful alternative to using a full oven. The microwave timer is set with a dial, and changes time increments as you pass 60 seconds, 5 min, etc. This is a bit annoying, but only because I am used to entering an exact number on the keypad of my last oven. Still getting used to the individual features and "quirks' of this oven, so I keep the manual close by. Clock very easy to set. Stainless steel interior is easy to clean, but recommend always covering the top of 'messy' food as the ceiling of the oven has an element, making it harder to access for cleaning.

This takes some time to get used to. As a microwave it heats foods etc very fast.Lots of features, I haven’t used all of them yet. Air fryer takes a bit to heat up. The directions aren’t very clear so I googled instructions and found some helpful tips. One piece of advice I did read in reviews, when you bake, broil, air fry, you need to let it cool before you use the microwave but really comes in handy if you want to melt cheese with just the leftover heat.It is big, takes up some room but I was able to get rid of some other appliances that this all in one replaced.I also got a thick wooden heat resistant board for the top so I can still store a few things on top of it. And I had to get a heat blocker for my coffee maker because it sits pretty close to one of the heat vents.Very worth the price. I barely use my regular oven any more and even toasted an English muffin under the broiler. It took a bit but it actually came out better than using a toaster.The rack that comes with it is perfect, flips for high and low.Still getting used to it but very happy with it

this 8-in-1 microwave is amazing. So far I've used the defrost, microwave, combi, and air fry function. I think the key with this microwave is to actually read and use the instruction manual if you want it to work well and save the trial and error time (and save your food in the process). In short, all the functions work amazing, defrost is by far the winner of it all for me. It defrosted smoked salmon without cooking it. Forever a fan just for that.Here are my notes:1. Microwave - I used the "beverage" function to heat up some coffee. It's the Auto 1 I think (check the manual!) it heated it up nice and hot, it didn't get cold quick, and I was very pleased. I really only use the microwave for reheating (not cooking), so this was perfect. 5 stars on this front.2. Combi - this was a combo grill/micro function for some hot dogs. I couldn't find a good guide in the rush of my son requesting hot dogs like he hadn't eaten anything in the past 6 years of his life, but I did a combi preset, had to do it twice, and while they came out good, almost like on the stove top, I think they could have been better--they lacked a little cooking in the center. I'll have to do some homework on the best hot dog function to use before my next request.3. Airfry - I cut up some red potatoes (small if you ask me), dressed them with EVOO, salt, paprika and thyme and used the air fryer at 350 F for 30 mins. I MUST DISCLOSE that I have NEVER used an airfryer. Never. I saw it as a frivolous appliance that takes up too much space. Enter this micro. This is why I got the micro in the first place. Back to the potatoes, they could have been cooked a little more for my liking, perhaps a higher temp, but my husband thought they were amazing. Again, I have never air fryed, so probably some novice user error on my end. 5 stars for air frying!4. Defrost. This is where this microwave SHINES like none other. I defrosted smoked salmon. Have you ever done that before????? the edges are ALWAYS *cooked* and I can't stand that. It defrosted perfectly. Not cooked. Not at all. DEFROSTED as if I'd left it out on the counter to defrost. My God. Chicken? Defrosted like a CHARM. Not cooked! not hot! DEFROSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would give this 10,000 stars just for defrosting because I ALWAYS forget to take food out to defrost.
