Simple, Compact, and PFAS-Conscious – Exactly What I Was Looking For
I was specifically looking for a small, compact, simple-to-use air fryer that would be generationally friendly, meaning no cluttered controls, no learning curve, and no unnecessary bells and whistles. This one fits the bill perfectly.The size is ideal. It has a narrow footprint that takes up less counter space, yet it’s still large enough to cook family-sized portions. It strikes that rare balance of being compact without feeling limiting.What really sold me is the simplicity of the interface. The touchscreen is intuitive and straightforward, with just the right number of presets. This is an air fryer anyone (from any generation) can use confidently without constantly referencing a manual.Most importantly, I trust Cuisinart’s ceramic non-stick coating. With so much concern around PFAS and traditional nonstick surfaces, this was a deciding factor for me. It feels like a safer, more thoughtful choice, especially for everyday use.If you want an air fryer that’s practical, easy, and thoughtfully designed rather than over-engineered, this is an excellent option. We love and trust the Cuisinart brand! <3

Love it
I own several Cuisinart kitchen products so I’m familiar with the quality of this brand. This is a nice quality product. The name air fryer with this item is misleading. It can do so much more. I have been using an air fryer for the past four years. I rarely turn on my oven these days. When I do it’s usually to bake an item. This air fryer has a bake option that works well. When I unboxed this air fryer, I took some time to wipe it down and wash the basket. It comes with very well written instructions. Even though I own an air fryer, I took some time to read the booklet. Most of the buttons are intuitive if you’ve used an air fryer before but I did learn some things unique to this one, like how to preheat. I then put this machine to work. It took several uses to get rid of the slight chemical smell. I tried breakfast potatoes and chicken nuggets first using the presets times on the menu. I then placed some frozen dinner rolls in it using the bake function. All of my items came out done. I found the recommended cook times to be too long for some things, so check your items when they are cooking. I found items brown very fast during the cooking process. I found recipes in the instruction manual, one for corn on the cob, so I placed some in. I added egg rolls for dinner. Today so far, I’ve made some fries for lunch and plan to use it to cook fish for dinner. This air fryer is whisper quiet when in use. I wash my air fryer every night after use. The clean up was easy. I cannot tell from the box or the website what coating is on the basket or tray inside but nothing I cooked sticked to it so far. The size profile is longer than my old one by 2 inches and shorter in height by the same. That being said, it does take up a lot of my counter space. As with any item in my kitchen, there is a learning curve on how it works for you so take some time with this. I love how it works and the time it saves. I will continue to use. Would highly recommend.

Excellent air fryer on every level
Outstanding air fryer! It cooks well and is true to the recommended cook timing of most all foods. My favorite thing about this air fryer is that the fry basket is long (most air fryers aren’t elongated like this). This makes it it easy to cook more than one food at the same time and to cook a larger quantity of food overall. As an example, I can lay down six burger patties to air fry in this basket. I cook dinner for my family every night and this fryer has come in clutch many many times!It has pre-temperature settings for Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Wings, Fries, Frozen Snacks and Keep Warm. A convenient Toss Reminder signal is built into the Air Fry setting! And, there’s a Max Crisp button that increases the temp by 50 degrees for added crispiness (and it works like a charm!). Of course, temperature and time settings can be customized at the push of a button. The bottom grill has a small handle on the top for easy removal and clean-up.There’s nothing I don’t love about this air fryer. Worth every dollar. Highly recommended!!

Excellent Air Fryer
Cuisinart makes high-quality products, and this air fryer is no exception. It is significantly better than an off-brand we had previously. This is a good air fryer that performs as expected and does what one would expect an air fryer to do. It is the right size for two-person meals. Everything I have tried in it that had air fryer instructions has worked as planned. The control panel is easy to use and intuitive. The included instructions are helpful and let you get started quickly. The product description is accurate. I would definitely get it again.

Forced to use outside because of stink
First off, the main complaint is that this unit still reeks of burnt plastic even after 4 times conditioning it and burning off the chemicals and several times cooking in it. Therefore it lives in the garage and cooks sitting on our outdoor firepit. It only gets used in the summer, because the cool fall weather causes too high of an energy draw and pops the circuit breaker to attempt to get to temp. This all calls into question the quality of the unit.Otherwise, it is very easy to program and use. The size is plenty roomy for cooking for a family of three or four, depending on what you are cooking. On first use, there was an odd taste and I was quite sick and dizzy for the rest of the day (jiffy biscuit box mix). On subsequent uses, the taste has been as expected and I have not gotten sick. It cooks well if you dont mind the smell and can use it indoors. I wish it functioned better so that we could use it indoors year round.

Very quiet. I had cosiri air fryer that died on me after less than 1 year and I replaced it with this one and I’m satisfied thus far. It’s quiet and does not take up much space size.

Works well, holds lots. There’s a learning curve but worth it. I like that things can be healthier.

Its alright. Had a ninja for years and thought I would take a chance on this because it was black friday deal. The presets are basically useless. The shake reminder is on by default which is annoying because if you forget to turn it off it starts beeping and you think it’s done cooking but it’s not. And when it finally is finished cooking it goes into keep warm mode so if you don’t hear it beep thats it’s done you still think its still cooking.It doesn’t make food nearly as crispy as the ninja we had did.I can’t think of anything positive to say about this air fryer other than the size of the basket is nice.
