Very strong plastic smell when hot. Used about half a dozen times and still smells. Hard to get used to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. To help reduce the strong plastic smell, we recommend running the air fryer empty at a high temperature for 10–15 minutes and wiping the interior with a damp cloth before use. If you have any questions or need further guidance, our Consumer Service team is happy to assist at 1‑800‑726‑0190.
We followed a basic recipe to air fry boneless chicken breasts. They turned out wondeful, tender, moist, and cooked perfectly to their cnters in less than 20 minutes. And clean-up was a snap. The unit performed beyond my our expectations.
Not knowing much of anything about air fryers, I finally bought the Cuisinart 6-qt basket air fryer on the recommendation of a buddy of mine. I've just begun using it for air frying things like egg rolls and fries/tots, but it seems the possibilities are limitless. The air fryer has done such a great job on what little I've cooked so far, that that in itself justifies the purchase. Everything is so crispy!
My husband got me this air fryer for Christmas. I love it! It's got plenty of room and cooks evenly. It has an easy to use control panel and different cooking methods. Also a warming feature which is a plus. I highly recommend.
