I have had air fryers before and my Samsung range has an air fry feature. All of these sort of left me thinking air fryers were not really very good. Then I visited with friends who owned this air fryer. WOW!! This actually makes food BETTER than any other cooking method!! I use the 2 we have at least 3 x each a day. They are AMAZING!!! Everything comes out great. I had a bit of trial and error at first but even then the food was better than other air fryers. We cook steak, fish, burgers, fried breaded foods, biscuits, hot dogs, grilled cheese, other grilled sandwiches, frozen veggies, a small roast and more in it! The food is BETTER than cooking in a skillet on the stove, in my oven, or in the oil fryer. If it is not so for you, you are doing it wrong. Lol I actually use the air fry feature for nearly everything. If it is something that I haven't done yet, I ask Alexa for temps, duration and which method. We usually go with air fry, even with biscuits. Alexa sometimes gives inaccurate cooking times. I tend to add a minute or two to what she says lol. I could look it up of course in the info the air fryer comes with, but for me, Alexa is faster. We love this so much that I am getting rid of our indoor grill as I just don't use it now (and I love that grill...this is just easier, faster and way less clean up). I have read things about odor from the unit. I am sorry but come on...every new appliance has smells. You need to wash it as they suggest before first use. Then use it a couple times. That smell, which was minimal anyway, goes away. We are now going to buy a double basket side by side because this just makes amazing food. We use 2 x 4 qt units now. We are going to add the bigger, double basket one for when we have company or a bigger meal. I love the light feature and use it a lot to avoid opening the unit before time to flip. Noise? What noise? This thing is pretty quiet. Clean up is a breeze!!!! The controls are super easy to use. My son and husband, who rarely cooked for themselves, both use this now and they both love it!! So BONUS!! LOL Extra time for me! The size is great and it looks wonderful on our counters. It is easy to keep the outside of unit clean too. Just a quick wipe and done. My family now is eager to try new foods because of how wonderful this cooks everything! We have eating issues and autism issues in our home that makes new foods a challenge. Well, no longer. Since this cooked the foods they already loved BETTER, they now are not hesitant to try new foods. That alone is amazing! I have been fighting this eating thing for 20 years. Now, when we eat out, my son has more options when ordering because of this air fryer! And you may be thinking that perhaps I was just a bad cook. No. I am a good cook. I even ran a restaurant for years. People love my cooking. Now, I can cook even better. I am still blown away by that. The old way is no longer the best way. I am 61 so that realization was a bit mind blowing. Summary....Buy it. It will change your life!! I was honestly shocked but this cooks better than any other method. You will love it!!!

Okay I'll say right off, maybe I should get more friends! But as a man who is a self-styled amateur chef, I have been pining for one of these types of cookers for a couple of years now. I always find a way to squeeze in one more item on the countertop. I choose this model based on reviews, features and brand name. I use my Instant Pot pressure cooker on a semi-regular basis and it is also a great cooking appliance, so I trust the brand name, and it doesn't disappoint. I first took the air fryer into the garage and ran it through a couple of cycles before using it in the kitchen. There was clearly some smell as noted elsewhere, likely from manufacturing. By the time I used it "for real" on the 3rd run, barely any smell. And by the next time...no discernable smell at all. My complaints are small, but let me get those out of the way. I wished it preheated up to temp faster. It's advertised in such a way that you think in 60 seconds, you're cooking. In my experience, it's 5+ minutes to get it to 400. Faster than an oven for sure, but not quite the blink of an eye I was hoping for. Second - the beeper is not loud enough. It beeps to tell you it's now at cooking temp, to rotate food or when food is done. For some reason, it seems louder to tell you food is done than it does to tell you the preheating is finished and to add food. You've got to be very close, so you can hear (or see) when it's up to proper temp. Since most foods are specifically timed, if you don't get your food in shortly after it heats up, it will start counting down whether there is food in it or not. Neither of these takes away from the overall 5 stars. I've had it for about 4 weeks and have tried a variety of items. I used the roast feature for skinless salmon. Amazing taste and quick. I found that 10 minutes was perfect for my fish. Others might find mine slightly overcooked, so experiment. It took about 3 tries for my fresh sweet potato fries to come out perfectly. I finally got it right at 20 minutes at 400 in the basket using the air fry function. Evenly cooked and delish. I did homemade coconut shrimp. I can't remember the exact time - it seems like 12 minutes at 380 but I'm going by memory. There are recipes out there to cross-check my memory. Again - used the air fry function. Baked potatoes were the best I've ever made at home. If you like potato skin, check this out. I rubbed them in olive oil, then lightly sprinkled sea salt, black pepper, and a blend of spices that is mostly garlic powder on the outside. These were large potatoes but I guessed and I guessed right - 400 degrees on bake setting for 50 minutes. Perfectly done inside and a nice crispy and tasty skin. You'll have to take a stab at it based on potato size. HUGE potatoes could be up to 60 minutes. Small taters - might be as low as 25 or 30 minutes. Other items I've done are quick prep items. Some frozen and breaded shrimp were perfectly done at 8 minutes at 400. Frozen tater tots same temp at 8-10 minutes. I sprayed a light coating of olive oil and salt on the tator tots. Crispy and delish. Everything so far has been easy and delicious. I have not used all functions - only bake, air fry, and broil so far. If you're on the fence and you like to cook, take the leap! 3/5/23 update: still really enjoying my air fryer. I find that it makes fish taste amazing. The dinner shown in the photo is flounder and sides. The flounder was cooked about 7 minutes using the broil function. Rubbed a bit of avocado oil, then used some fresh thyme and lemon pepper seasoning and a touch of garlic spice blend. Squeezed some lemon over the top, and broiled perfectly. I still use it, still enjoy it and continue to recommend it!

I literally just got my new Instant Pot 4Qt Vortex. I’ve been using our little oven’s air fryer and it would take forever to even cook chicken fingers. THIS Instant Pot is great! It cooked our chicken fingers in 13 minutes to a nice, crispy crunch and tender on the inside. I’m a very happy camper! Worth every penny. It’s the perfect size for 2 people and I plan on using it for a lot of things. I’m so glad I ordered it. Easy to use, my liners fit perfectly and virtually no cleanup (just throw the liner out) and it’s ready for the next use. Easy to use the buttons and directions are simple.

This is my first air and so far it has been a good experience. The learning curve has actually been rather smooth. It’s like having a second oven. I like its performance and I feel it’s a good value for the price. It reduces my cooking time and I love that the clean up is minimal especially using the liners.. Even my husband uses it. The controls are easy to use. The main reason I purchased it was to reduce the amount of oil used in cooking. My one complaint is that it still emits an almost chemical smell when in use even after three months of use. I followed the instructions for setup and ran it for 10 minutes before the first use. Actually I ran it twice based on a review I read. I would like to know if the smell it emits is normal. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the smell. Other than the smell we love the air fryer.

This is a good product. have used it for many meals and it is easy to use and does a fast meal preparation and food tastes very good

Easy to use and keep clean. Controls are intuitive. "Buttons" are touch-sensitive on glass, and light up brightly. This size is OK for two people - helps keep portions under control. Can hear the fan when running, but relatively quiet. Footprint essentially the size of the basket, so no wasted counter space.

Initially I hated the idea of frying food without oil. Game changer!!! Bought this so that my 10 year old wouldn’t burn down the house. Now, I use it more than she does lololol It looks cute on my counter. Super easy to clean. Although, we use liners. Very light and easy to move around for storage. If wiped after every use there is no sticky residue. It makes the most crispy fried chicken ever without using flour. And it’s great for air frying frozen appetizers like samosas, sausages and reheating take out French fries!!! I have been converted from stovetop frying ever since I made this investment.

This well priced air fryer is the easiest to use and clean after. I've had other air fryers before, but they were larger and bulky. This one is compact and attractive on your counter with easy to follow instructions, and it works well. French fries come out so crispy delicious with no fat. I basically use it everyday.

I bought this because I like my Insta pot so much but when I received it and saw that it was an oven and not a traditional air fryer. I decided I didn’t want it, but failed to return it on time six months later I finally opened it. I have had rotisserie countertops before, and never use them too hard to clean too hard to balance, the food that it actually worked. This one is so simple and works so well. I do whole chickens and small roasts regularly. The roasts are so amazing. I actually had to buy myself a food slicer because I couldn’t bring myself to buying sliced roast when I could prepare them so beautifully. The rotisserie basket is also amazing. I don’t generally eat potatoes, but I had to do some chips just to try it and they were so simple and such a hit. I do wings in it both marinated and dry. Once you do your roasted cauliflower in it, you’ll never do it other way. It’s also fantastic for reheating. The best I have been able to do with pizza is actually cooking the crust bottom first and then cooking the pizza. Any tips for how to get a great crispy pizza would be appreciated. The biggest reason I did not want a traditional oven air fryer was cleaning, but I am surprised at how amazingly easy it is to keep clean the door coming off is a great idea. Also, I’m not sure what they made the basket up but it also cleans extremely well. The tray on the bottom is a perfect place for some beer or wine while using the rotisserie

Excellent Air Fryer – Worth Every Penny! I did a lot of research before buying this air fryer, and I’m very happy with my decision. It has been more than seven months now, and I use it almost every day. The performance is still excellent. It cooks food evenly and quickly. I even make eggs in it, and they turn out better than boiled eggs — perfectly cooked and very tasty. From snacks to simple meals, everything comes out great. The build quality is solid and feels durable. The design is user-friendly and easy to clean, which makes daily use very convenient. Overall, it’s a great product and definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable air fryer.
