This is my first air fryer and I really like it. The basket is 6x6 which is perfect for one person. It doesn't heat up my counter top. Easy to use. I recommend
I am loving this air fryer. It’s the perfect size if you’re cooking for one person & some times even for 2 or more depending on what’s being cooked. It’s easy to operate and clean up is a breeze. In addition, the variety of recipes available is endless. I highly recommend this fryer to anyone looking for an alternative to the oven route!
It was impossible to set the time on this machine. I'd press the place to change the time repeatedly and it usually wouldn't move. I called them and the man said to unplug it overnight. That it would go back to the factory setting. But it still didn't work the next day. I purchased a Kosori, and it works just fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Straight forward controls make it very easy to use. I enjoy the compact design as it does not take up too much space when stored in my small kitchen. I love the window so that i can check cooking without opening.
The Cuisinart Air Fryer has a small footprint on my counter, but does the job of many major appliances. The temp and timer are easy to read, and the unit works quickly and efficiently. There is nothing like roasted walnuts done to a turn in 4 minutes! I don't know how I managed before I purchased it.
