My new best friend!
Okay I’ll say right off, maybe I should get more friends! But as a man who is a self-styled amateur chef, I have been pining for one of these types of cookers for a couple of years now. I always find a way to squeeze in one more item on the countertop.I choose this model based on reviews, features and brand name. I use my Instant Pot pressure cooker on a semi-regular basis and it is also a great cooking appliance, so I trust the brand name, and it doesn’t disappoint.I first took the air fryer into the garage and ran it through a couple of cycles before using it in the kitchen. There was clearly some smell as noted elsewhere, likely from manufacturing. By the time I used it “for real” on the 3rd run, barely any smell. And by the next time…no discernable smell at all.My complaints are small, but let me get those out of the way. I wished it preheated up to temp faster. It’s advertised in such a way that you think in 60 seconds, you’re cooking. In my experience, it’s 5+ minutes to get it to 400. Faster than an oven for sure, but not quite the blink of an eye I was hoping for. Second – the beeper is not loud enough. It beeps to tell you it’s now at cooking temp, to rotate food or when food is done. For some reason, it seems louder to tell you food is done than it does to tell you the preheating is finished and to add food. You’ve got to be very close, so you can hear (or see) when it’s up to proper temp. Since most foods are specifically timed, if you don’t get your food in shortly after it heats up, it will start counting down whether there is food in it or not. Neither of these takes away from the overall 5 stars.I’ve had it for about 4 weeks and have tried a variety of items. I used the roast feature for skinless salmon. Amazing taste and quick. I found that 10 minutes was perfect for my fish. Others might find mine slightly overcooked, so experiment.It took about 3 tries for my fresh sweet potato fries to come out perfectly. I finally got it right at 20 minutes at 400 in the basket using the air fry function. Evenly cooked and delish.I did homemade coconut shrimp. I can’t remember the exact time – it seems like 12 minutes at 380 but I’m going by memory. There are recipes out there to cross-check my memory. Again – used the air fry function.Baked potatoes were the best I’ve ever made at home. If you like potato skin, check this out. I rubbed them in olive oil, then lightly sprinkled sea salt, black pepper, and a blend of spices that is mostly garlic powder on the outside. These were large potatoes but I guessed and I guessed right – 400 degrees on bake setting for 50 minutes. Perfectly done inside and a nice crispy and tasty skin. You’ll have to take a stab at it based on potato size. HUGE potatoes could be up to 60 minutes. Small taters – might be as low as 25 or 30 minutes.Other items I’ve done are quick prep items. Some frozen and breaded shrimp were perfectly done at 8 minutes at 400. Frozen tater tots same temp at 8-10 minutes. I sprayed a light coating of olive oil and salt on the tator tots. Crispy and delish.Everything so far has been easy and delicious. I have not used all functions – only bake, air fry, and broil so far.If you’re on the fence and you like to cook, take the leap!3/5/23 update: still really enjoying my air fryer. I find that it makes fish taste amazing. The dinner shown in the photo is flounder and sides. The flounder was cooked about 7 minutes using the broil function. Rubbed a bit of avocado oil, then used some fresh thyme and lemon pepper seasoning and a touch of garlic spice blend. Squeezed some lemon over the top, and broiled perfectly. I still use it, still enjoy it and continue to recommend it!

Impressed So Far
So far I’m impressed and have appreciated the ability to reheat leftovers so quickly. Everything it reheated has come out pretty well, though I did have to pop one item back in for a little longer. As far as cooking goes, things have been turning out pretty well. there’s a little bit of a learning curve, but I appreciate how quickly you can make an entire meal in an air fryer and the controls to this one seem pretty intuitive. I know you can download the instant app, but it would be nice if it came with a quick start reference with recommendations for how long to cook various meats and veg.I don’t necessarily like the plate in the bottom of the basket. I find it a little hard to take in and out without accidentally scratching the sides of the air fryer, and cleaning it is a little problematic due to the silicone feet. However. If you use a silicone basket or another similar accessory such as a parchment liner in the bottom, you can avoid having to deal with taking that plate in and out at all, those seem to clean up better anyway. So my recommendation would be to use this with additional accessories.The basket itself is a nice large size. You can fit plenty of food in it. It’s definitely big enough to make an entire meal for a family of four if you want. I don’t find it to be terribly noisy when it’s cooking there is a fan going in the back of it, but it’s not an overwhelming sound. It’s footprint is maybe a little larger than I would have liked for my relatively small kitchen, but I have been using it quite a lot so I’m not too fussed about the missing countertop space. So far I like the digital display and I like the fact that you can do so many things with it as long as it lasts long-term I will be very happy with this Appliance.

Loving my new Air-Fryer
Easy to use. Has made making dinners much faster and given me the option to cook foods at different temperatures when using the oven for another part of the meal. Also useful on its own to make a quick dinner on my own. Chicken thighs are perfect, crispy and juicy. Lamb chops were tender with a bit of crisp. Great for re-heating too.

I bought this because I like my Insta pot so much but when I received it and saw that it was an oven and not a traditional air fryer. I decided I didn’t want it, but failed to return it on time six months later I finally opened it.I have had rotisserie countertops before, and never use them too hard to clean too hard to balance, the food that it actually worked.This one is so simple and works so well. I do whole chickens and small roasts regularly. The roasts are so amazing. I actually had to buy myself a food slicer because I couldn’t bring myself to buying sliced roast when I could prepare them so beautifully.The rotisserie basket is also amazing. I don’t generally eat potatoes, but I had to do some chips just to try it and they were so simple and such a hit. I do wings in it both marinated and dry. Once you do your roasted cauliflower in it, you’ll never do it other way.It’s also fantastic for reheating.The best I have been able to do with pizza is actually cooking the crust bottom first and then cooking the pizza. Any tips for how to get a great crispy pizza would be appreciated.The biggest reason I did not want a traditional oven air fryer was cleaning, but I am surprised at how amazingly easy it is to keep clean the door coming off is a great idea. Also, I’m not sure what they made the basket up but it also cleans extremely well.The tray on the bottom is a perfect place for some beer or wine while using the rotisserie

Súper práctica, con diversas funciones, muy rápida para celebrar.Llevo cerca de dos años con ella

First impressions: Unopened damaged box looked like there might be some damage inside but product was ok, no doubt due to secure packing. It’s much larger than I had envisioned. It’s well made.It’s easy to clean the basket and inner tray with a bit of soapy water. I made sure not to immerse the basket. Wiped interior and exterior with a damp paper towel. Not much of an instruction booklet but luckily it’s very intuitive to use. Simple operation to change temp from °F to °C and to change presets. Ran an initial test run to break it in. Unlike many other users, there was only a very faint plastic smell on first use (during the test run) that dissipated quickly. I also did not find it to overly loud as some reviewers claimed. There is a hum, which you’d expect from any appliance with a fan, but it’s certainly not what I found to be loud.Display is large and easy to read. Controls are intuitive. Tried a small batch of (Costco) fries – Airfry 20 minutes @400°F. Next time will reduce time to 18 minutes. Very crisp!! Lovely colour. I’m impressed. Super easy clean up with soapy water. I can envision multiple ways to use this appliance everyday. Bonus: rapid preheat, doesn’t heat up the house like an oven, relatively quiet, quick and even cooking, easy non-stick cleanup.Very happy with my purchase. And the price was reasonable although it increased immediately (within minutes) after I bought it and fluctuates wildly from week to week. Nonetheless, I bought 2 more to set aside as gifts.
