We are in a two story with the nursery above the garage and the living room behind the kitchen which, tbh yeah our first cheap audio unit died every time we walked near the fridge. Swapped to a non WiFi that model setup with a long range rating and it held a connection everywhere downstairs and even on the patio. The parent screen battery handled an evening fine if I left it on voice activation and kept the screen timeout short, though with the display on nonstop it drained fast. Night vision was clear enough to see breathing and movement. I also changed my WiFi router to a less crowded channel which cut random dropouts from interference. Lesson learned.

I fought this last year on an M2 Air. I tried three different dual HDMI hubs that claimed dual 4K60 and every one topped out at one 4K60 plus a second at 30. Swapping one monitor to DisplayPort did not help because macOS will not do multi stream for two separate desktops. What finally worked was using one native 4K60 over that model-C video for my main monitor and adding a second 4K60 through a software driven adapter. That needed a driver install and one reboot then it was stable. Downsides for me were occasional HDCP weirdness in streaming sites and a little extra CPU during heavy video playback, otherwise it felt normal for office work.

With only 15 inches of counter depth the shape of the oven matters — A taller and shallower box gives you room to air fry on an upper rack while still fitting front to back so yeah during use, slide it forward so the rear has a couple inches to breathe and so steam and heat do not hug the wall. A slim cutting board or silicone mat under it protects the counter and tames vibration. For even toast, give it a short preheat, use the middle rack, and avoid pushing slices right to the edges. Light colored trays reflect more and brown more evenly than dark ones. Limited ventilation is manageable if you keep the crumb tray clear, line pans for greasy cooks, and crack a window or run a small fan nearby. Simple changes add up. No drama.
