Took a chance. Pleasantly surpised.
I’ve been curious about air fryers for quite awhile, but didn’t want to pay a lot just to find out I wouldn’t use it much. Also because I already have limited space for storage with all the other gadgets. But after reading the reviews of this small unit I decided it was worth $35 or so to see if I would agree. I’ve had it about a week and so far have used it every day, all for frozen items that I usually bake or microwave. I must say that everything has turned out much better using the air fryer. Everything comes out perfectly crispy and in less time and temperature than using the oven. Fries, chicken strips and wings, onion rings, battered fish, shrimp and clams were all better this way. And I swear the wings were even juicier and surprisingly more flavorful. I definitely will not be going back to the previous methods.So far I’ve cooked everything at 375 for 10 to 15 minutes and the results are very consistent. If something is not quite done to your liking just put it back in for a few more minutes. It is extremely easy to clean. The exhaust air is about the same as a hair dryer. The compact size makes it easy to store. Regarding the smell, I took the rubber bumpers off the grate and there was absolutely no bad odor. The controls are so simple I don’t see why other units even bother with digital controls. I used the timer on my phone to compare with the manual timer on the unit and it is close enough not to matter.

I bought this for less than $40.00 and it was a steal. I never used one before but itâs easy, compact and performs as advertised and fits nicely on the counter in my galley style kitchen. Crispy fries, chicken wings in no time. Iâll use this little monster often. Donât procrastinate, get it.

I bought a second one!
I love these little mini air fryers!Hereâs the thing, if youâre willing to add 15 degrees to your cooking settings, it works perfectly.For example, hard boiled eggs should be cooked at 250° for 15 minutes and then rested for 5 minutes. So, I said it to cook at 275° for 15 minutes, then let it rest for five minutes.For chicken nuggets, since theyâre already supposed to be cooked at 400°, I just had a couple minutes to the cook time.Once you learn the time and temp for your favorite dishes, then thereâs nothing wrong with this air fryer!I bought my first one in August 2024. So now I bought my second one in December.If you cook a lot of new dishes every week, this air fryer isnât for you. But if you typically buy similar foods, theyâre gonna love how small and cute it looks on your counter.

compact, easy to use
I’ve been using this almost daily since purchase two weeks ago. It is ideal for small spaces, but beware the volume to cook the food will be equally small. Perfect for singles, with the fryer basket good for one serving, or a generous single serving (it wouldn’t really have room for, say, two servings of fries). I would recommend a larger air fryer if you are cooking for more than one person routinely. Definitely cooks faster than a conventional oven, with most foods ready by the time the conventional oven is preheated. It is very easy to use – just two knobs (temp on top, timer on front), set them and push the basket in and you’re cookin’. I rarely change the temp, and give the basket a shake several times while cooking. Clean up is easy and I’ve just been handwashing, though it says one can place it in the dishwasher. One star off for the front being easily scratched from everyday use (not sure what caused it), and the notches are not the easiest to see. I fixed the latter with a little bit of bright nail polish right on each of the notches. Overall a good value purchase. Hope it lasts.

Size
First time n I’m about ready to order a bigger one, pretty powerful for its sz, cooks to perfection!

Compact and functional.
This is a very basic and inexpensive appliance, ordered to replace an air fryer that suddenly died.The touch controls seem to be a little sluggish but itâs probably my large fingers.The capacity is less than my old one and I find myself packing it to the max.It is light weight and consequently when I am pushing the controls it slides around.All the above comments are the product of habit and preference and do not indicate inadequacy. I may replace it with a larger one.

Love this! Perfect for making dinner for one or even 2

Tamaño ideal si es una comida para una o dos personas como máximo. El sabor es genial y su uso es muy simple, funciona para comidas ocasionales, no estoy muy segura de su durabilidad con uso diario.Si solo te quieres quitar las ganas de tener un airfryer y no cocinaras diario en ella es excelente compra por el precio

La freidora lleva conmigo unos 3 años y funciona perfectamente, el único inconveniente que le veo es el tiempo de cocción y la cantidad de alimento que se puede cocer, por lo que si haces papas a la francesa te tardarás más que si lo hicieras en aceite, al igual la carne, por otra parte si puede llegar a ser más saludable, el gasto de energÃa no es muy alto para este tamaño de freidora. Recomendado!

La amo, ayuda mucho en los tiempos de cocción y lo más importante sin usar aceite, la carne sobre todo es una pasada

This is my first air fryer and all I can say is where has this been all my life – seriuosly. I took a sweet potato, cut it into strips, tossed it with a tablespoon of oil, some paprika and salt and pepper and in 12 minutes had the best sweet potato fries I’d ever made. Then I had frozen chicken strips which I have on hand as a last-resort – in a regular oven they are dry and chewy, in the microwave they are damp and soggy, but in the air fryer they are crisp and tasty.This is definitely smaller than I expected, but totally fine for my uses – it’s just me, and it keeps me from making too much and wasting food / eating too much.Very straight forward to operate – just set the temperature, set the time and let it go. If you pull the tray out while it’s cooking it automatically shuts off and restarts when you place the basket back in so you can safely take the basket out to shake the food for even cooking.This could easily replace my toaster oven for most things I use it for – I mean, you can make a grill cheese sandwich in an air fryer if you want – or a cake, or broiled fish / seafood, pretty much anything you can fit inside.This is the best purchase I’ve made in a *long* time.The only con is that the tray fits great – once you get it lined up – it’s a bit of a wiggle-till-you-get-it-in experience, but definitely not a deal-breaker – but that’s why i don’t give it a 5th star. Otherwise, it’s great.
