First time to buy an air fryer, so lots of research done on this purchase. I have a VERY small kitchen with limited counter space, so size and appearance were very important to me. This appliance will sit out on the countertop, so it really needed to look nice 😊. I also read many, many reviews on other air fryers before deciding on the features I would want the most. While this model is rather new and did not have many reviews, I loved how it looked and it checked off all the features that I was looking for, so I ordered it. It arrived quickly, with an outer box. Very well protected. Unpacked, the machine is very pretty. Some air fryers are just ugly; this one is not! I washed and dried the basket (which is large and will hold 4 burgers easily) and the tray. After reading so many reviews, I assumed that there was going to be an odor, so I was prepared with the exhaust fan, and many air fryer reviewers stated that the first items they tried cooking burned, so I bought a bag of French fries to experiment with. There was no odor after turning on the machine, nor has anything burned (yet). The controls are VERY easy to use. The bag of fries had air fry instructions, so I followed those and entered them in the machine and hit start. It is nearly silent when running. No excessive draw on the electricity. This machine has an automatic shake reminder at about halfway through the cook time. Cooking stops when drawer is pulled out and resumes when drawer is replaced. Also, if cooking is completed, it automatically shifts to warm. During the cook cycle, I did try the light feature just to see what was happening and that was awesome to see the progress! So, the fries took 8 minutes (there was no preheat on air fry). Fries were golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In a word, they were perfect. The second item I made was boneless, skinless chicken breast. Also perfectly cooked. Everything works great and cleans easily. Great purchase for my first air fryer!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The only thing I don't like is when cooking something greasy the fan blades and the area around them gets grease on them and they are hard to clean.

I have enjoyed my Cuisinart Basket Air Fryer. I've had it for a month and already used it air frying salmon, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, and french fries. Everything I have prepared has come out perfect. I love the light to be able to see inside while the food is cooking. I also like that it let's you know when to turn over the food halfway thru cooking time. I really purchased this so I wouldn't have to heat up my kitchen with the oven, especially since it's been so hot in Georgia this summer. I like the outside of the air fryer, looks good on the counter and easy to clean (inside and outside). I am very pleased with my purchase.

We’ve tried it a few times. It definitely doesn’t cook quickly and you don’t want to overfill the basket. We’ve had to cook things twice as long as the directions suggest and at a much higher temp setting. Maybe we will get better at using it, but for now we aren’t pleased. A long preheat seems required.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

good air fryer. Would be a great air fryer if it included a more extensive table of cooking times.

The good, the 9 x 9 square basket gives plenty of room, the pretemps are too much time, but you will adjust later by decreasing the time. I put a 9 x 9 parchment paper with small holes with food holding them down for clean cooking. Clean up is easy in the sink after it cools. The light button allows 10 sec then turns off or you can push again to turn off. The first time, I washed the basket and put in water bowl only for a no smell test. The unit never smelled at all and the exhaust out the back is minimal.
The bad is, well, nothing. I haven't found anything to complain about. I have a coffee maker with Cuisinart and it is a good product so I trusted the maker and it continues.
