I can't say enough great things about this air fryer—it's easily the best one I've ever owned. I've tried several over the years, and there was always something that fell short, whether it was questionable interior coatings, frustrating displays, or weak heating. But this model checks every box. The interior is free of forever chemicals, the control panel is conveniently located on top (no more crouching to read it), and it heats food quickly and evenly. The basket is the largest and most solidly built of any I’ve used—plenty of space for family meals. It's also incredibly user-friendly: quiet enough to keep the TV on while it runs, super easy to clean (especially the touchscreen), and overall just a joy to use. So far, it's been completely flawless. Honestly, I don’t know how they could improve this unit. I absolutely love it! Read more

I bought one for myself this summer and gave this updated model to my parents for Christmas. They are thrilled! My mom is relearning to walk after an illness and my stepfather has been most of the cooking and taking care of her. My reason, personally, that I say it changed my life is that I rarely use the oven anymore. My husband and I use this to air fry chicken breasts. Without looking at the directions too closely, I evoo'd, s&p'd, herbed the chicken breasts, hit start and in 15 minutes (no preheat), flat, we had the most amazing, juiciest, flavorful chicken breast we have ever had. I am a great cook, but in order for my chicken to be that juicy and tasty, I would use a vat of chicken broth or the like and have to baste them in the oven. Between the time, the cookware cleanup, and the good - but not THIS good! - chicken, this air fryer has changed my life! Besides that, I don't need to make or buy chicken stock or bone broth to baste my chicken anymore or let my chicken cook in its own fat. We have also used it to heat up pizza, Jamaican patties, tortillas, pita, frozen Brussel sprouts, reheat any veggie actually, potato fries, a chimichanga once - just a lot of things I would usually end up throwing away. The cleanup is way too easy without the parchment insert if you decide to not purchase them. I didn't know that was a thing, so it took a few months to start using a parchment liner, but it still cleaned super easily. Better with parchment, and you can also use regular non-formed parchment paper, to save money. My stepdad is really thrilled with it. It saves him from back ache from opening or shutting the oven door, he will be able to clean it easily, cook healthier to help with his blood pressure and cut down on a lot of work that would otherwise take time away he would rather spend with Mom. I highly recommend this NuWave air fryer. It is SO EASY!! It's brilliant. Worth every penny. Read more
I do like this air fryer for its ease of clean up, speed, color choices and no PFAS. I specifically purchased this one, because it has a PFAS-free non-stick ceramic coating. I shouldn't be surprised, but I can't believe that all of the other brands are still using toxic coatings. I got both silicone liners and parchment, but i ended up liking and using the silicone liners a lot. Makes it even easier to clean and will hopefully extend the life of the inner coating. While I am happy with the purchase, I have encountered some issues. I got this mostly for French fries, but there's only two of us. Often I'm doing only one or two servings, so the size of this is overkill. I wish they had a smaller version of this one. It doesn't always cook fries evenly, even with shaking things up in-between. So I have to do it more than once. But it's faster and doesn't make my house hot, so I'm okay now that I've figured it out. With these annoyances out of the way now, I'm happy. Just be aware that there's a bit of a learning curve if you are new to using an air fryer vs an oven. Don't start with a really expensive or important meal until you've got it figured out. Read more
We love it! Easy to set up, easy to use! Cooks well! Looks great and beautiful color! Reasonable noise level! This is our first one so we have no noise level comparisons but it's quieter than our microwave lol! Read more
Love this air fryer. My first air fryer was coated with a Teflon-type coating. It smelled bad and having been in the business, I knew it was noot good for my health or the environment. This product is ceramic and it works perfectly without the environmental and health concerns. The only negative is that it does not have a window so you need to open the basket to see the progress of you meal. A small inconvenience to an otherwise very well made and great product. Read more
I don’t understand how so many items have unreasonable reviews. I just received this air fryer today. I took it out of the box and plugged it in. Removed the cardboard paper inside tray. I seasoned a whole chicken , threw inside; I selected roast and an hour later it was delicious. I had the other popular brand Cosori for 4 years. It took cooked quickly ; it was louder but it cooked everything easily. The problem that air fryer has is it’s not PFAS free. I noticed the material inside wore off with delicate care. I can’t imagine why someone would purchase anything’s anti-stick without the words PFOA and PFAS free. They are both toxic. The material inside Nuwave looks and feels cleaner. It’s only my first day and it’s easy to use ; it is not as loud; easy to clean and most important it’s PFAS free. Read more
