Bought this as a gift to my husband who was constantly turning on the oven to reheat food because he hates using the microwave. It's fairly simple to use and even comes with a little "cookbook" with some minor recipes in it for beginners. Plus there's the bonus of not needing to wait for it to preheat before you cook. My only downside to it is super minor and it's that you have to use a bit of force (seemingly like you'll break it) in order to close the basket. It won't allow you to use the touch screen (or even light up) if the basket isn't in place right. Other than that, it's a great price and the unit is so convenient. We love it. Update: Nearly 2 1/2 years later, this little unit is still trucking along perfectly! We still use it every other day. I've made full dinners in it along side the traditional items you'd throw in it like fries and chicken nuggets. I've made dinner items such as porkchops, chicken wings, ect and they came out so good that we use this air fryer as the sole way to make those specific dishes. Absolutely recommend this air fryer, especially for those that lack counter space, because it's perfect for our small family. Update: 3 1/2 YEARS later. This little airfryer is a champion. Still heats properly and runs perfectly as the day we started using it! In the last 3 1/2 years, I have found that my favorite thing to make using it is wings. Kid you not, it is on our counter more than 4 days out of every week. For THREE and a HALF YEARS. The only reason I would get a different one at this point would be if we wanted one with a bigger basket. We've moved across the country twice since we've bought it and it has been the one appliance we DIDN'T pack because it came with us directly. Read more
I opened this air fryer and tried it out 2 days ago. Since then, I’ve used it everyday. I love it that much. Before I cooked in it, I plugged it in outside and ran it on high for 15 minutes to burn off the plastic smell. Tonight I made brussel sprouts. I cut them and tossed them in oil and salt and pepper and cooked them at the highest temperature for 15 minutes. Perfect. Crispy and crunchy. This fryer is so easy to clean. I’ve wiped it down with a damp paper towel once and washed it immersively once. The only confusion I had with the air fryer was how to get it to turn on or to display the menu. I hadn’t pushed the tray in until it was fully seated. It won’t turn on until it is pushed in all the way. Read more
For months I thought about purchasing an air fryer and just couldn't convince myself that I would actually use the item. I'm so glad I purchased this item. I've made chicken tenders and pork chops from scratch and they came out great, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. This also makes reheating items a breeze! I am however a bit disappointed with the interior rack because it doesn't lock into place, so if you shake fries or even when you empty the basket, the rack falls out or becomes dislodged. I've had the hot rack fall on my hands a few times. Otherwise it is great! Read more
Perfect size. Can do 10 large chicken wings at a time without crowding. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I have had this airfryer since 2019 and I had to come back to leave the review. It has a smaller tray so things like raw meat have to be done in batches as it needs to cook properly. My favorite part is to reheat leftovers. Pizza, tempura, steak, fries! It all comes back great. Easy to clean. Had both Celsius and Fahrenheit measures. Definitely would recommend for the price point! Read more
It's easy to use. I use it for so many things, especially to make things healthier. It makes turkey bacon perfectly crisp, where it tastes like bacon-bacon. I make parsley/parmesan fries using leftover baked potatoes. It reheats leftover fried foods (while excess oil drains off), or frozen apps. It does all the air fryer things and is inexpensive. I don't recommend this for more than one or two people though. Read more
It gets increasingly dirty as the oil build up... it almost does not matter how well you try to clean it... it's just... cake on and baked on... but it's a great appliance, you can pretty much cook just about anything other than items that needs to be "boiled" with water. Makes the perfect fried food, like pizza rolls, it is PERFECT every time, crunchy all around. We cooked chicken, pork, veggie, fries... just about anything you can fit in that basket, you can cook it. Do remember to mist oil on top of your meat, as it cook without any oil... that might sounds good and healthy, but meat cook without single drop of oil, the outside will be very dry and leathery..., but spray a mist of oil on top will fix that quite well.

Great air fryer but... the touch controls rarely work correctly can cause much frustration! It says if the electronics are not aligned to where you need to touch the surface of the fryer. I find myself deciding not to use it because I don't have time to mess around with figuring out why it won't turn on. The menu turns on so I have the basket seated properly the darling in the temperature in the time or frustrating has the cooking five passes the time I'm trying to get to as well as the temperature then when I try to press start it stops the cooker and I have to start all over again Read more
