Replacement for first air fryer purchased during COVID lockdown- the upgrades and options now vs then elevates my interest in the appliance from a load of tater tots to a complete dinner … great choice - easy to clean and light enough weight to store away but not the biggest basket
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Cuisinart 4.5 qt air fryer is very quiet and the food comes out exactly as I would hope. Foods that are air fried are hot, crispy and not greasy. We have also used the bake function and it is excellent. The unit pre-heats much quicker than a standard oven which definitely saves on electricity. I have been very pleased with this air fryer’s performance and I absolutely recommend it.

Love the size and features. It takes longer to get crispy nuggets compared to my old ninja. It takes about 5 minutes longer.

It’s early - just a few weeks in with the air fryer - but we’ve been very pleased with chicken, salmon, and veggies we’ve cooked. It’s a great size for a household of two, and takes up relatively little space. It’s also surprisingly easy to clean, thanks to its design and nonstick coating. So far, it’s been a welcome addition to our options for dinner prep

This air fryer is super quiet and stays cooler than our previous air fryer, we upgraded from an inexpensive brand. The basket is bigger, but not huge like some of the others I looked at, this is a good size for my family.

Love it

I’ve owned it 1 year and love it. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. Love that basket is dishwasher safe. Digital controls are a bit hair-trigger/finicky, but I’m used to it now. I only wish there were a way to clean inside the window, to keep it looking pristine. Did I miss that somewhere?

I recently started to use the Cuisinart 4.5-qt Basket Air Fryer, and it has become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Not only because of the healthy cooking but also because its compact and lightweight design. It's easy to move around and find a spot for it on my counter or store it away when not in use. Despite its small size, the 4.5-quart capacity is surprisingly ample. It comfortably fits good portions of food, such as two packs of frozen fries, making it perfect for preparing meals for two people without the need for multiple batches. The air fryer cooks food to perfection, providing that crispy, delicious texture we all love while using minimal oil. This not only makes the food taste great but also aligns with my goal of eating healthy. I like also the pre-set programs that are another fantastic feature. The program for fries, has been incredibly convenient and ensures consistently excellent results. This Air Fryer has exceeded my expectations. Worthy addition to my kitchen.
