A: You need at least 8 inches all around for safety reasons, but especially from the top since heat rises. It's about 20w x 12.5h x 19d. They don't recommend it though. I used an infrared thermometer while i was cooking to measure the top and got temps of up to 160F.
Q: Does it work as a toaster oven also?
A: Sadly, no. That's the only thing it won't do well since there's no bottom elements. I suppose if you really needed to, you could use the grill function and flip it over half way through, but it would take twice the time.
A: That's what the owner's manual says, but i backed it right up to my ceramic backsplash with no problems. It sits in the same place my smart oven sat backed to the wall as well for 3 years with no issues. I think it's just out of an abundance of caution.

Wonderful to have all three products in one compact stylish item. It’s only slightly larger than the microwave that we replaced so it fit nicely on the counter without adding clutter yet we added another two features of the oven and air fryer. The oven is great for quick heating small items like frozen rolls/bread and even worked well for a frozen pizza. The air fryer works great for leftovers that should be crispy- it made soggy tortilla chips taste restaurant-fresh even after though they were brought home inside the leftover container sitting on beans! It preheats quickly. Live the soft close door and the adjustable volume in the alert sounds. It came with separate cooking tray and rack for fryer and oven functions respectively. So far the interior capacity has been enough for what we’ve needed.

I've had this microwave only a month, but so far I absolutely love it! It's attractive and doesn't take up any more space than a regular countertop microwave. There are many features I haven't used yet, but so far combi-cook, airfry, convection oven, defrost, microwave and smart cook have been amazing. At first I didn't think a 9x13 pan would fit, but it does if there's no handles on the pan, and you tilt the pan a little until it's past the very front of the microwave. The sides of the pan don't touch the inside of the microwave and everything seemed to bake evenly. Worth the money and it's one appliance instead of three.

I bought this after tearing out my above range microwave (installed a range hood) and didn't want both a microwave and a toaster oven taking up space on my counters. This machine takes on both roles surprisingly well. It also air fries which is a new cooking concept for me but I'm not mad about having this feature either. From an oven/air fryer perspective it cooks and crisps fries, chicken tenders, melts and browns cheeses and breadcrumb toppings, and TOASTS bread. I read reviews that it didn't have a toast function and this disappointed me at first but those reviewers clearly didn't try all of the many settings this machine offers. The grill setting produces perfectly toasted bread, buns, and creates a nice broiled effect with cheese. I have even baked cookies and they were perfect! I particularly appreciated not having to heat up the oven for a small batch of cookies - since I always have cookie dough in my freezer and I often just want 2-4 cookies, this is the perfect way to bake them quickly and save some energy to boot! As a microwave, it performs as you'd expect, but I would argue maybe a tad less consistent and powerful as a standard microwave. Sometimes I find that I need to run something back through for a few more seconds but they even have a setting for that which remembers what temperature/configuration I was just using in any of the modes called "a bit more" which adds 10 second increments of time every time it is pressed. Super handy! I love the functionality of the dials and that you can adjust them as something is cooking. If I see something is getting too done, I can turn the heat down or reduce the amount of time left (alternatively increase both) which is a function I've never seen before in a microwave or toaster oven. Other than these snazzy, smart features it also has every basic microwave setting you know and love: popcorn, defrost, express cook, and a few newcomers that I now use frequently like: melt chocolate, soften butter, cook from frozen. From a style perspective, it is a nice looking machine and matches my stainless steel appliances well. Here are my only complaints so far: 1. The manual doesn't make clear whether or not you can use metal dishes in oven modes. The combi crisper pan and trivet that are included are both metal but the manual states just to use an "oven safe" dish. It doesn't specify if metal or aluminum is actually ok and I don't want to risk it. 2. Preheating: Most modes for oven or air fryer call for preheating the inside (usually with the tray in there first) and then sometimes there is a countdown timer to indicate how long until it is preheated and sometimes there is not. It's inconsistent and idk how long to expect it to preheat all of the time. Additionally, sometimes it makes a "ding" sound when preheating is over but it immediately goes into the cooking cycle. This is annoying because I don't always hear the ding if I am doing other things and I need to take the tray out to add my food and get it back in there to cook but I'm already losing time because it immediately went into its cooking cycle... Not a big deal though because I can always add more time via the dial. 3. Cleaning: it's hard to keep really clean on the inside. One of the very first things I did was cook bacon (something I've never done in a microwave) and was pleased by how it came out crispy actually! However, the instructions said NOT to cover the bacon with anything and the grease splattered all inside the back panel. It occurred within like two days of owning it and I still can't get those grease stains off. The manual doesn't specify how to clean stains like this and again I don't want to push my luck with a cleaner that ends up damaging it because it's not cheap! So far it's lived up to its expectations and I'm really happy with this purchase. Let's hope it has a good life here.
