- Does it really air fry, or is it just a microwave?
- It has a dedicated air fry mode plus a crisper pan designed for it, along with convection and broil modes. Results are closer to a small countertop oven than to microwave-only cooking, and crisping takes longer than plain reheating.
- What comes in the box?
- The microwave, a crisper pan for air fry mode and a convection rack that lets air circulate around food. The rack is needed for convection and air fry cooking.
- How does it compare with a dedicated air fryer?
- It replaces a microwave, a small convection oven and an air fryer with one footprint, but its 1.0 cu. ft. cavity limits batch size. A standalone air fryer basket usually holds more food at once.
- Is 1.0 cu. ft. big enough for a family?
- It fits plates, mugs and small baking dishes, which covers reheating and single portions. Large casserole dishes and big batches of fries will not fit.
- Does it need special cookware?
- Use the included crisper pan and convection rack for air fry and convection modes. Metal pans are fine in convection and broil modes, but not in plain microwave mode.
- Is it hard to use?
- Presets for fries and nuggets keep air frying simple, but there are more modes and settings than on a basic microwave. Expect a short learning curve.
