GoWISE USA 3.7-Quart Programmable Air Fryer with 8 Cook Presets, GW22638 – Black

Life just got easier and healthier
I just got mine yesterday, so I am not sure about durability yet. The fryer was very well packed and there was nothing to do but put it on the counter and wash the basket parts and read the directions. I decided since it was my first use to make something I wouldn’t care about much if I screwed up; so I cut up some potatoes added salt, skipped the oil entirely and went for it. Came out beautifully! I didn’t use any foil or parchment and the clean up was 3 minutes. I work a long day and when I get home, the last thing I want to do is deal with pots and pans, cleaning a stove and standing in the kitchen to cook a meal. This is GREAT! I put the potatoes in, turned it on and went about my other drudgery, only returning after 10 minutes to shake the basket and then 10 minutes later when they fries were done. I had a leftover chicken cutlet (cooked the day before, the old fashioned way) and tossed that in for 5 minutes to crispy it up and I had a great meal! The 3.7 was larger than I expected. I estimate I can comfortably fit 3 chicken legs and thighs or 2-3 nice sized pieces of fish. Can’t wait to go shopping today after work as I plan to try out a few of the recipes in the cook book GoWise provided. All the recipes look super easy, require very few ingredients and look yummy. My next is going to be the apple chips for snacks at work and I’m going to try a few other recipes over the weekend. I’ll update as I try new things.Update: So now after a few weeks I can say this is the best thing I have ever purchased, I have made several different chicken dishes, steaks, many different vegetables, including cauliflower, asparagus, carrots and zucchini fries. Made pita chips a few times, apple chips and mini pizzas. I am an air-frying maniac. Everything came out really crispy and delicious. The only thing I used oil on was the pita chips and asparagus, and even then it was a light spray of olive oil. Today alone I made spicy chicken cutlets with panko, brussel sprouts with garlic, 2 bags of pita chips with onion and garlic powder, and roasted carrots. Going to make roasted baby eggplant later and crushed them into tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeno for the pita chips. All came out really nicely and I have lunch for work for the next few days! I am eating healthier, saving money and enjoying the creative process. Thinking of getting another so I won’t have to work in so many batches. We’ll see. One other thing: I bought the parchment paper. Not necessary for anything I have made so far. Don’t think it’s necessary.At 2 months now of almost daily use. Still my best friend. Have had no adverse situations. I actually dropped the basket on a very hard floor expecting it to be dented…but nope…was still fine!

Not at all like a fryer! It’s AIR BAKER!
First of all, this does not even come close to comparing with frying food. This is an air BAKER. Anything you can bake, you can cook faster in this air baker and there is no need to pre-heat it. Totino’s pizza rolls cook in 6 minutes and they are crispy and perfect just like in the oven but without heating up the entire house from the oven! Tater Tots take about 12 minutes and come out perfect! Trying to make french fries? They come out very, very dry. I didn’t care for them at all. I tried some frozen breaded shrimp, and once again, they cooked much faster than the oven and were crunchy. I put a couple of frozen garlic knot rolls in there and they got a little over cooked on the outside, but were perfect in the center. Much, much faster than the oven!You do NOT want to put anything with a wet batter in here or the large fan inside will just splatter it all over the inside and the thing you battered won’t be batter-less on top. You can use a traditional deep fryer to seal in a wet better and finish the cooking in this air baker, but if you have already pre-heated you oil and stuck your food in there, why not just finish it off in there?Basically, if you can bake it, this air baker will bake it faster. It is NOT a fryer and food does not taste like it came out of a fryer. What a terrible and deceiving name for this type of product.Some foods come out fantastic, and some come out terrible. You just have to experiment with it.Also, VERY HOT air comes out of the back of it. We are running out of counter space in the kitchen and placed this unit temporarily in front of my Keurig, only to discover it melted the handle on my Keurig machine! GGRRRR!!! I won’t make that mistake again. Not the products fault but I just didn’t realize it had a vent or that it expelled air that hot.

Me gusto que es muy facil de utilizar, practica porque puedes dejarla cocinando sin preocuparte de voltear la carne. funciona realmente sin nada de aceite y la comida queda con muy buen sabor, aunque evidentemente la vista no es la misma, si deseas que visualmente se vea como la comida frita si es necesario rociar un poco de aceite, en cualquier caso es super util.

This is my second Air Fryer from Go Wise and I am very impressed. I’ve purchased my second one only because the first one is perfect for two people but great to have a second when you have company or if you want to cook separate items. So far very happy with this purchase once again.
