Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The air fryer was easy to get started after I read the directions and checked out some recipes online for air fryers. It is very quiet . My first dish I made panko crusted chicken thighs. The basket is a little small in my opinion. It did hold 2 thighs and they did turn out great with crispy golden skin and moist juicy meat. 12 minutes skin down then turned them for an additional 6 minutes yielded 2 perfectly cooked thighs. This is a good size for 1-2 people but too small for any more than that or you will be batch cooking constantly. I like that it takes very little oil to cook thighs in the fryer. I rubbed them with EVOO and then breaded without using an egg wash. I do plan to try with a flower coating,egg wash and then panko crumbs to see the difference.The chicken is best served hot from the fryer.Leftover chicken needs a few minutes in the fryer to recrisp.The controls are intuitive to use.Clean up is easy , everything is nonstick.Takes little space.No oil splatter.

Crispy & Compact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don't let this compact air fryer fool you—it's a game-changer in the kitchen. Perfect for my small kitchen, where every surface space counts. It fits on countertops, shelves, or cabinets with ease. Using it is simple: place the removable metal grate in the drawer, add food and use the touch-sensitive buttons. The preset options like 'French Fries' make cooking a breeze. It even alerts you to toss food halfway through. Also, after cooking, the grate insert doesn't fall out when you dump your food onto your plate. The manual offers recommended temps and recipes, and it cooks frozen food thoroughly with impressive crispiness. The cable is a good length for tabletop use and it conveniently wraps up at the back for easy storage.

Perfect Air Fryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cuisinart 2.6-qt Basket Air Fryer is a perfect fit for my small kitchen. It doesn’t take up much space, and the capacity is just right for 1-2 people. It’s very easy to use, with several programs on the panel that make cooking a breeze. I love that it doesn’t require much time or effort—just toss in the food and go about your day. It cooks everything from snacks to full meals quickly and evenly, giving that perfect crispy texture with little to no oil. It’s a great way to enjoy healthier versions of your favorite fried foods! Plus, it looks stylish on the counter, and the glass window is a nice touch for keeping an eye on your meal while it cooks!

Was worth the wait!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first air fryer ever. Being 2.6 qt capacity it's just the right size for two if us. I've reheated leftover jalapeno poppers and I've air fried fish nuggets. Both turned out wonderful. Oh, I also air fried hard boiled eggs. I still need to work on those.

Small but Mighty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air fryer does a great job, but the capacity is limited. Works well for sides or for dinner for two people. Heats up quick and easy to clean. Did a great job on chicken drumsticks and healthier than frying in oil. Would recommend!

excellent Air frier for one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to use the Cuisinart 2.5-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. Its small size, the 2.5-quart capacity is perfect for one or two. It comfortably fits a good portion of food, and easy to make multipe batches.The air fryer cooks food to perfection, providing that crispy, delicious texture while using minimal or no oil. This not only makes the food taste great but also aligns with my goal of eating healthy. I can't wait to try the baking feature when I get the right baking dish. The machine is easy to clean with only two parts to wash. This Air Fryer has exceeded my expectations. A worthy addition to any small kitchen.

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've never had an air fryer before, and we were skeptical about using one but curious. We ended up loving it! It gets hotter faster than the oven and doesn't heat up the house in this summer heat. It has great features like reminding you halfway through , so you can rotate the food. We've used it a few times now, and haven't had any issues. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It's also the perfect size for two people! We had enough room for our serving sizes. It is very convenient to use as well. Overall, we love it and plan to use it more with other dishes.

Good compact air fryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air fryer worked great for small dishes. It was easy to set up and use right away! I made Brussels sprouts as a side dish and they cooked quickly and evenly—so delicious I forgot to take a photo! I like the window and light feature and how easy it was to clean the basket. A good option if you want a small air fryer for dishes serving 1-2
