I have it, it's great and can be set to 450F where most top out at 400F, so a little more flexible. The basket is sized so that the pre-cut aluminum foil squares at Costco line it perfectly so that a great many foods can be cooked without needing to clean the basket itself that way. Downside is the alarm tone is very soft so you're not going to hear it across the house. I also have a dual basket Ninja which I thought would be useful but actually doesn't cook faster because in split mode the heating element is split between the zones, slowing both. The only air fryer that feels like an upgrade to me at this point is the Typhur Dome 2, and that simply because the basket is so very very wide. But I no longer need to cook batches large enough to justify that.
Edit: I showed this to my wife and she said it’s a bad comment because I didn’t a reason, so here…we got it on sale during bf and it’s crisps much better and is very consistent. Also the size is great and makes good pizzas.
No countertop appliance can cook for that many adults any kind of quick. You could upgrade to the typhur dome air fryer which is very wide one that can hold a bunch at once? The downside is its kinda low so the chicken would have to be spatchcocked. A countertop oven probably could do the whole chicken, but even if you have multiple trays more than 1 stop even cooking from happening since the food is so close to the heating elements unlike a normal sized oven.
I think the real difference is # of heating elements (does it have a top and bottom element) and depth of food it can handle.
I love my Dome 2, its expensive but it does amazingly well at a lot of tasks, and the basket is huge, will do a full 12 in pizza with no problems, but is it very shallow, so that is its main drawback and the only thing I dont like about it.

Dual zones for smart cooking, but baskets are small.
