[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a lot of air fryers almost all of them were bulky and took up all my counter space. This fryer isn't tall so it fits under my cabinets, you can do more than just air fry like bake or slow cook. It was very easy to take apart and clean, it also has a very nice sleek look.
I would recommend this to a friend!

best air fryer EVER!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this isnt just an air fryer.....but it is an AMAZING air fryer. Ive tried several and this is the easiest to use because of the digital control settings and timer.The circulating hot air gets food really crispy without deep frying My favorite things to make are french fried potatoes and sweet potatoes because they come out really crispy and browned on the outside and tender on the inside. It has a heating element in the top and bottom so it cooks very evenly. i can also make roasted vegetables, chicken, salmon and it comes out beautifully browned and perfectly cooked..it has a big pan with a rack and cleans up very easily in the dishwasher. I have to mention that it comes with an excellent cookbook....ive made a lot of the recipes and they turned out great!!

Makes tasty food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the shape of this air fryer. Its short and wide. I can fit a lot in it and because it heats from top AND bottom it makes a more evenly cooked meal. I've had a chance to make a small variety of foods so far (boneless pork chops, brats, hot dogs, chicken strips and fries) everything has turned out pretty good, with the exception of the fries (my fault as I overloaded it which made them cook uneven). The chicken strips were perfectly crispy on the outside and just like restaurant quality. The hot dogs and brats were juicy and tasted better than any method I've used to cook them before. And I had my doubts about cooking the pork chops in the air fryer but they turned out surprisingly good. Its fun experimenting with different types of foods in this air fryer! After cooking, cleaning it up is really simple as the two inside parts both easily fit in my dishwasher. The only thing I don't care for, is that the temperature and timer settings are strange to me. You can't just choose any temperature or time. For example the timer goes in two minute increments, so you can't choose say 15 minutes, you would have to choose 14 or 16. And the temperature has only certain preset degrees, so you can't choose say 350 degrees, you would have to choose 356 because that would be the closest option available to you. When cooking with any air fryer, its best to keep a close eye on your food while cooking. So those things, although strange, don't bother me as I'm vigilant while cooking anyway. I just wanted to make others aware. I'm absolutely happy with the results I've had with this air fryer and I love the shorter/wider design. I'm looking forward to lots of good meals with it and would not hesitate to recommend!

Pretty good air fryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There a few things I really like about this air fryer and several that I do not. Pros: it has a clear lid so you can look into it with out raising the lid, the size is big enough that you can easily cook in one layer, the pan is removable and quick to wash, the bottom has a warming function making it easy to keep food warm. The cons: this is a big and bulky appliance taking up a ton of counter space, the temperature settings are strange (ex you cannot set to 400 degrees, only 392 or 446) meaning that following a recipe would take guess work, during cooking it fogs up quickly, its not particularly user friendly. Overall this works as intended and for big batches you want to air fry it's awesome- but it will take some getting used to and storing it will be tricky when not in use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice Air Fryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty excited to get this with all the hype about air fryers. I've never owned or used one so I wasn't sure how this was going to work. I was impressed honestly with how easy it was to figure out even for someone who doesn't really "do the cooking." I started out super simple with fries just to get a feel for it. They came out great! The air fryer came with a small cookbook that's very helpful. I've been able to make a few things from it to get going. Me and my family have really been enjoying the food. My wife likes that it's healthier. It's nice that it's not a drawer and has a clear lid, so you can check on things while it's cooking. The digital screen is easy to read. The inside tray is flat making it east to do a large single layer. It also comes out and is super easy to clean! A couple downsides is that the temperature settings are not like a stove. They are kind of random so you'd either need to go up or down a little if it doesn't have what your recipe calls for. The other is that this appliance is very large and takes up a lot of counter space. I'm not sure where we are going to store it yet because it will need to be a large base cabinet or something. I'll have to move some things around. Otherwise it's a great air fryer! I would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this air fryer! I love how the lid is clear so you do not have to lift it in order to see the progress of it cooking. The size is big enough where you can easily cook in one layer. The pan is removable and easy to wash. The bottom have a warming function making it easy to keep food warm. The digital controls and timer is very convenient. The circulating hot air gets the food really crispy without the need of deep frying. It has a heating element at the top and bottom of it so it cooks the food very evenly. I've made a ton of recipes and they all turned out great!

Pretty cool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never used an air fryer but numerous friends told me I had to have one. Tried this one out and I was really impressed with the results. I’ve cooked chicken, fries and vegetables in it and they’ve all turned out great. I love that you don’t have to use oil and still get the great crisp. It is a very very large item though, be sure you have enough storage in your kitchen before purchasing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So in love with this air fryer/multipurpose cooker, cooking up all the kids lunches in this have been so easy then having to wait for the oven to pre heat! Love how crispy my fries and mini corn dogs came out last night! You will jot be disappointed! This item also holds a good amount of food at a time..
