This is a solid appliance and the bake and roast functions are great with something this size. The only issue is the vented plate doesn't sit evenly in the basket, so the food can tilt if you're not careful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great size but it won't even cook one average sized potato to make fries, I had to add much more time and even then they did not come out well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2.6‑qt Basket Air Fryer (model AIR‑80), and we’re glad to hear the size worked well for your needs. For cooking potatoes or fries, we recommend cutting them into evenly sized pieces, lightly coating with oil, avoiding overcrowding the basket, and shaking or turning them halfway through cooking, as these steps can significantly impact results. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve performance and features in future models.

This air fryer is quite versatile and uses less power than my older one. Food gets crispy and fast and the grease does not bake on due to the ceramic coat. I did more things with it like making Friterra and taquitoes besides the usual wings and french fries. I really like the glass window that I can check on the food. The coil and blades on the top have more space for access and each night I turn it over and wipe the area with Dawn Power wash and some small brushes. The basket is light to handle. I am pretty happy with this air fryer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A few years ago I had a different brand and it was so loud I gave it to my son. Decided to try this one after reading reviews glad I did. Very little sound
