This one is just about perfect for a single person. I do like how it works so far, but there are a few little annoyances.
If you really want to cook 1 chicken breast or 1 salmon or 1 steak (not a big one) then it's perfect, almost. But personally, sometimes I'd rather cook TWO chicken breasts so I could have leftovers for reheating later. The basket is too small for two (well, too small for the chicken breasts I get at the meat counter). Also, I don't think squeezing 2 chicken breasts in here would be a good idea because you're supposed to leave room for the air to circulate. In the photo is a different chicken breast that I usually buy, I thought I'd try this brand since they run a bit smaller, but these are also too big. I would only cook one of these at a time as well.
It took a couple times to figure out how long to cook sweet potato fries! But that's what taking notes is for.
Another thing I'm not a fan of is the little half circle metal thingy in the middle of the tray that's used to pick the tray up and set it back in. I think having just a hole there would be better. Cooking any piece of meat or salmon that is flat, doesn't sit flat. Not that it probably affects cooking, but it's just weird. I had a piece of salmon once that finished cooking with a bump in the middle.
The tray, it has rubber bumpers on each side. You do have to press down on the tray to put it in and take it out. Seems like it's thick sturdy rubber, so it should hold up a while.
And finally, there aren't any recipes specifically for this size. On their website the question was asked, and answered that we should refer to the regular air fryer recipes. But having a smaller basket, wouldn't that mean the cooking times would be different? I've had to play around and take notes to figure out cooking times. Not even in their manual did they offer suggested cooking times for anything, which would have been nice if they did.
It does clean up really easily. It's not too large, and it doesn't take up tons of space.
For the price and what it does, as long as it doesn't fail on me any time soon, I'm using it regularly and it's doable. I'm kind of on the fence about maybe buying a bigger one in the future, as there are so many more options for cooking with their multi-use pressure cooker/air fryer.
**UPDATE: Has anyone ever left soapy water in the basket to let it soak? Have you had the water leak from the bottom of the basket? I can only figure the water was past the screw in the basket, and the screw was loose. So I kind of tightened it, it didn't really need it, but it still leaks. Am contacting the manufacturer. Just heads up, don't leave the basket full of water on your counter or you may have a mess to clean up. lol

It’s really easy to clean, no need to buy liners. The quality is very sturdy. It’s is tremendously easy to use.
I’ve cooked chicken thighs, all sorted of fries, all sorts of roasting veggies. Last week I tried a pasta bake and it was wonderful. The week before I made and cheesy veggie bake, I adosed cooked pasta, and then topped it with cheese for a lovely crust.
I have an instant pot, have had it for 1” years now - one of the first and I’ve just cooked some soup in it, amd at the same time made some cheese toast or in my vortex - so I’m really pleased with these two wonderful appliances - they both make single cooking quick, fast, efficient, economical & tasty 🤤
It is super easy to use and I toast bread in it, fry stuff, make cakes... I very rarely use the extra insert inside. I also bought some parchment paper, but most of the time I just use it in its own, because it is easy to clean and work well.
The only downside that I experience is that there is nothing between the food and the heating panel. So if the parchment paper reaches the panel or your puff pastry fluffs up too much it is going to start to burn.
So if you use parchment paper, put something on it when it is empty, otherwise the ventilation will lift the paper up to the heating panel.
Other than this it is amazing.
