we use ours on the regular, and it comes out great. the only thing we don't make with it are wings. it's good for finger food like chicken fingers, fries/tater tots, mozzarella sticks, etc. they come out far better than they would in the oven, and it's much faster. ultimately it's just a small convection oven. we have a double convection oven in our kitchen, and don't use them much because of the air fryer.
