Works great!
This air fryer is easy to use. It heats up fast and cooks food evenly. It is very easy to clean. I love that it doesn’t have a basket because they are harder to keep clean. The design looks nice in my kitchen. Much healthier than cooking with oil.

A must have appliance for the kitchen
This is my first air fryer and I use it almost everyday. It’s very easy to operate. I know there are other air fryers on the market that go for higher prices and I imagine they’re nice as well. I got this one because it was at a discounted price and I wasn’t sure if I’d find use for it very often. But now I’ve begun making homemade potato wedges as a snack and experimenting with different spices.A few things to point out. The instructions recommend unplugging the unit when it’s not in use. This is actually fairly sound advice for any appliance as there is a thing in electronics called “vampire energy” or “phantom energy”. They say that unused electronics in standby mode “DVD players, stereos, etc.” can account for up to 20% in a home electricity bill.Another thing that other reviewers have pointed out are the little rubber pieces on the grill insert. They do indeed come off. I’d recommend hand washing the grill and just keeping in mind not to push off the rubber pieces.As for the grill itself, I’ve read others complaining about not knowing how to insert it. This is actually understandable as it’s a pretty tight fit the first time due to the shape of the design. The way I ended up remembering is by placing the quart bucket with the handle facing directly towards me (or directly away). From this position the grill goes in with the large center gaps looking like a figure 8. You’ll probably have to force it in a bit the first time but it gets easier after you do some cooking with it. I’m guessing this is due to the rubber pieces shrinking ever so slightly from the heat exposure.I’ve had to experiment with temperatures and times for what I’ve cooked so far, mainly just potato stuff like french fries and tater tots. There are presets for those things that seem to be fairly accurate. But depending on how crispy you like things, you might want to use your own settings.This was a great budget purchase for me. I was a little reluctant on purchasing an air fryer but it ended up being a useful appliance for making homemade snacks.

Great Air Fryer
Good size, quiet, doesn’t overheat to the point of releasing smoke, fast and efficient.
