"Use it daily for over 4 years."
"We’ve had a cuisinart air fryer/toaster oven combo for a couple years and it’s been great. ... We’re a large family and it gets used several times a day. ... It’s a workhorse type appliance ... it should hold up to a decade or two of heavy use pretty easily. ... If it ever breaks I’ll get the same one to replace it."
"its about 3 years old, & going strong"

"it’s great. ... Gets the most use out of all the small appliances. ... Can make whole dinners in it for 2 adults."
"way more versatile than a traditional AF ... You can even bake and make toast in it."
"It has functions for cookies, pizza, baking (separate from the cookie function). Like 12 settings, including air fry."

"The Cuisinart to have a control knob that you can control it yourself, you don need to have an app on your phone. ... I like to be in control of all my kitchen appliances, not having to use an app. ... Since I live by myself, it s very critical that I am in control of my cooking appliances."
"much prefer its analog controls to digital ones."

"Times and temps given in the directions don't cook the food correctly. ... I've had to throw out several burnt pizzas."
"it cooks a lot hotter than the setting indicates. ... I know 2 other people with the same oven and they've said the same thing. ... I turn it down about 50 when I'm air baking/frying."
"Yes, we've found that out too. ... I suspect that they set up the settings for a regular toaster oven and didn't factor in the faster cooking because of the blower motor. ... This is something that you learn with trial and error."

"died quickly"
"due to a known manufacturing defect."
"I am on my 2nd one as the 1st one failed and was warrantied by Cuisinart. ... Now this one is starting to fail again in the same manner (the rotary control knob jumps around randomly and doesn't increment up or down cleanly) ... After watching a video by [Technology Connections](https://youtu.be/6h9JhW-m35o?si=I_99KK_tbr30_yc) the control board being above the oven is a big achilles heel of these machines. Over time the heat will degrade the operation of things until it becomes inoperable. ... yeah mine started to fail after 2-3 years of use."

"Replaced with the same about a year ago but the construction is a little cheaper. ... On the newer models they used thinner stainless steel and you can hear the metal flex when it heats up or cools down. ... The older model didnt."
