Yes

The temperature and settings can be confusing but there are plenty of online resources and cookbooks especially for this that can help. It’s not that easy to clean - the grill grate and baking pan is but the splash guard and the actual unit interior itself are not easy to clean. there may be cheaper, equal quality air fryers out there that might even offer more cooking space

Yes

You constantly have to Google the cooking temperature and time of a food item as not a lot are in the booklet that comes with the appliance. It is considered to be a bit noisy. The size of this air fryer is big which may be a disadvantage for a smaller family.
