[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] George Foreman Twist 'n Crisp Air Fryer is well, a disaster. I received my unit, washed the removable parts, dried, put it together and attempted my first dish. I loaded a small amount of raw potato slices into the basket with olive oil and set it to air fry at 425F for 45 minutes. After the time was up, I checked the food and it was barely warm and the potatoes were raw. I did an additional 45 minutes. The same thing happened. Barely warm food, and raw potatoes. At this time I gave up and cooked the potatoes on the stove. During the air frying there was a HORRIBLE BURNING PLASTIC SMELL! I had to put the entire unit under the vent fan and open the windows.
I decided to revisit the air fryer again on a day I wasnt so hungry. Again, I tried raw potatoes with olive oil in the basket. The cage spins, and you can see a faint orange glow. At some point during the 45 minutes the lid popped open. I reset the settings and tried again. Once finished the potatoes were barely warm and raw. Again, terrible smell coming from the unit.
I was determined to get this air fryer to cook so I decided to use the grill setting. I put the potatoes on the rack and turned it to 425F and to grill for 25 minutes just to see if it was going to do anything. After about 15 minutes I went to go look at the unit and it had no power. The display was not lit up and unplugging it and plugging it back in made zero difference.
I let it cool down for hours, thinking maybe there was a heat sensor inside that got tripped. Nope. The unit is non-functional. It wont turn on anymore. I tried multiple plugs. It's officially dead.
So overall, the unit looks really nice. The instructions seem clear and easy to understand. Unfortunately, the unit I received is non-functional, extremely stinky, and officially dead after two uses. I would definitely not recommend it.

Amazing little machine for healthier food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually deep fry but that is not healthy at all. I have wanted an air fryer for a long time. This one did not disappoint! The basket rotates to cook food evenly. Keep in mind the times listed in the included recipe book, as well as the Cooking Guide in the instruction manual, are for the amounts listed. If you are making, for instance, half of the fries it says you do not cook it nearly as long. The first time I tried just a small amount of fries (maybe 1 cup) to test the machine out and they were very overcooked. Adjust the cooking time accordingly or check on the progress while it is cooking so you know when they are finished cooking. If you want to make anything that was freshly breaded you most likely do not want to use the basket and will need to purchase a rack. The rotating of the basket can cause the breading to fall off.
I cooked a whole chicken using the rotisserie attachment and it came out amazing. It was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Cooking Guide mentions using a chicken that is about 3.5-5 lbs, but I used one that was close to 6lbs. That is probably the largest chicken you can use to still allow it to rotate freely. It was just barely missing the sides when it rotated. It also took maybe 30 minutes or so longer to cook which I expected since it was larger.
I love the fact that you can open the lid while anything is cooking and it automatically stops running so you can check the progress of the food. It then continues where it left off when you close the lid.
Cleanup is pretty easy. There is a large, removable pan under the basket or rotisserie that just needs washed out after. Everything that fell or dripped down will be in that. The basket and rotisserie attachment can be washed easily as well.
Overall, I am so pleased with this air fryer. Food comes out tasting amazing and it's so much healthier than using oil. It might take a lot longer to cook than using a deep fryer but it doesn't take any longer than cooking in an oven and the texture is actually better than oven baked food.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to Use & Easy to Clean!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to be able to try out the George Foreman® Twist 'N Crisp Air Fryer. Unpacking, cleaning and assembly for first use was very easy, as was actually using it. It's as easy to use as your oven and has all the benefits of frying, though it takes out the worst part of frying - which is the extra grease and fat! I think what was probably the most exciting feature of this air fryer for me was what most other air fryers are lacking, which is the rotating basket. With other air fryers, if you don't stick around and shake the basket ever so often, you're going to have unevenly cooked fries (or other foods). The George Foreman® Twist 'N Crisp Air Fryer rotating basket takes that chore out completely. Cooking time is obviously a little longer than normal frying but shorter than most oven cooking - it also takes up less space than an oven and doesn't heat the entire kitchen up when it's on like your oven does. Taking the parts out to clean is a breeze as well. As with other air fryers, there seems to be additional accessories that you can buy for your other baking/frying needs - but I think what comes with this product is more than enough for a majority of your cooking on its own. Overall, this seems like a great product to have on hand to help cook sides, or even to keep in a smaller living space that may not have an oven. I cannot say enough good things about the George Foreman® Twist 'N Crisp Air Fryer!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Takes forever and doesn’t crisp

I bought this tonight to make different style of chicken for Super Bowl Sunday. We are already in the second half and the first batch of wings are still not finished. People are hungry so we just cooked the other batches in the oven at the same 425 temp for about the same disappointing results. I so wanted this to work but going back to the store tomorrow. Can’t imagine what this will do to gator tots. Oh - and where are the attachments??
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
