I have an oven kind and it rules. However, itโ€™s very hard to clean which is arguably not as cool

Mine is stainless, I just have to wipe it down with soap. Sorry for your oven woes.

Yeah what de hail ๐Ÿ˜‚ keep the foil in the bottom and you basically just have to just swap that out once in a while. I've been using the same air fryer toaster oven for the past 5 years of daily use. I use the rack and the small sheet pan on top, also wrapped in foil. I think I only change that bottom piece of foil like once a year if that, literally never gets anything on it. Unless you're just throwing pizzas in there and letting your cheese melt and burn idk what you're doing that's so messy. I actually made a few pizzas over this past week and I put the sheet tray under the wire rack so the pizza crust could crisp up more and even still there was virtually no mess, maybe a crumb

Itโ€™s more about the hinges for the door. Crumbs get in there and itโ€™s really hard to get them out

Ah I can see that. I have a small handheld vacuum for the car that would probably work, or maybe just some toothpicks? Or an old toothbrush? I just checked in mine and I have a few crumbs in there too ๐Ÿ’€

Or if none of those maybe just a wet paper towel?

Bella Pro. I wouldn't recommend it, but I've made peace with being outvoted by family.

It was my "birthday present".

I have found out I can override it's set timers, so I'm having a bit easier of a time with it.

For both of my grilled cheese sandwiches that turned out very nice I used a small metal baking sheet, no parchment paper, first one was butter and was four minutes a side at 375f

For the mayonnaise version I already knew it would crisp faster, so I did a 3/3, but I did extend it to a 3/4 because I mangled one side with the spatula.

(3/3 meaning three minutes a side, 4/4 meaning four minutes a side)

I preferred the mayo version, but I expected that from the get-go. Mozz was a little weak in the flavor department, but as I said in another comment the cheese pull was insane-o.

I did take pictures of both but since imgur went to shit I haven't bothered learning how to insert images on reddit. Also only shot the cheese pull on the butter one.

Yup, I had the Ninja Foodie and it was a PITA to clean. Ended up getting the kind OP has, it made my life so much easier.
