I like this company's products. We own a number of fans and a couple of space heaters made by them. They have all worked well. When I saw the convection oven, I was very interested in seeing how well it worked and if, quality-wise, it would be on par with companies like Delonghi. I have two of these ovens; while this one is listed as a 14.8 quart, the other is 15. I can see no physical difference between the two, so I've been using them both in an effort to see if one performs better than the other. There is no difference in performance, and they both sell for the same price. I have not tried taking precise internal measurements to see if, indeed, this one has any less space. I doubt that it does. I've had the opportunity to use the oven for the last four weeks. I'm happy with it. Because there is some plastic in the housing, I was expecting the plastic stink that so often accompanies appliances like this. The plastic heats up and releases a smell. In some cases, even in the box, there is a stink. Typically they need to be used a number of times before the stink goes away, but I never had any smell come from this oven. I don't know why convection ovens were suddenly being called air fryers, there is a difference, and every convection oven that's called an air fryer, this one included, I have used does not live up to the name air fryer. They are simply toasters and convection ovens. In that sense, this little oven does a very good job. It is small; I can only slip in four average slices of bread. On the upside, being smaller than a lot of ovens, means I don't have to use as much electricity to get the same job done on toast or smaller items that need to be heated up. ° ° ° Air fryers move a lot more air than a convection oven does, thereby providing more of a deep-fried experience. Also, with air fryers, a small amount of one tablespoon of oil is used to cover the food, which in the closed bottom basket stays in contact with the food. In an oven like this, while food is in the mesh basket, the oil would just drip off, and the food would not get as much of the crisp golden look. I like the simplicity of this appliance. There are three dials, and that's it. No complicated digital control panel or buttons. There are three dials: ► 1 - Select the function needed - toast etc. ► 2 - Choose the temperature. ► 3 - Set the time needed, and the oven fires up The only important thing here is that the timer dial needs to be turned past the first indicator on the dial to start the machine up. To turn it off, turn the timer dial all the way to the left. There is no power on/off button. For counter placement, the seller's eternal measurements are correct. On the back is a vent through which heated air is released, and there are two plastic stands offs. These three items keep the oven from sitting right up against a wall. When I set it next to our DeLonge, it's about three-quarters as wide, so it does not require a lot of counter space. » Unfortunately, like a lot of kitchen appliances, the power cord is short. If the manufacturers added even one more foot to the cable, it would make a huge difference. Where there is counter space, there is not always an AC socket! The included items, non-stick pan, rack, and basket, all fit loose as they should. If needed, the rack and basket can be used at the same time on different levels. There is a grabber included for pulling out the rack and basket. Ultimately, this, like the other version, is a good oven for a single individual, student or anyone who ends up cooking for themselves. This is nice to have, but not something that can really be used for any kind of baking unless one specifically needs small batches. When I ordered this, it was selling for $149, a reasonable price for the service it provides.
