5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Air Fryer
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022
I got this over 15 months ago. I think this is a great fryer. I have cooked a cake, meatballs, lasagna, bread, onion rings, fries, wings, nuggets, egg rolls, fish, shrimp, scallops, crab cakes, chicken, and 100 other things in it, but, admittedly, I use it three times as much to warm leftovers. I mean anything you have leftover that was fried comes out as good as when you ordered it the restaurant. Seriously - as long as you don't over cook it, it is perfect.
At first, I was haunted by the reviews that showed the coating coming off the basket after the first time, or some of the other negative reviews. So glad I did let those few overcome me! 15 months later - my basket looks like new. I don't even wash it but maybe once a week (and by wash I mean squirt dawn into a damp soft sponge and wipe it down - that's all it takes, because nothing sticks. Rinse and dry.) I can only imagine what those people did to scrape the coating off - and I bet they will never admit it either.
Plug it in, push the second button from the left (15 mins @ 370 default). Up down temp on the left - Up down time on the right. Push the second button from the left and cook. It is amazingly simple and so fast. Don't like the default - it has like 8 preset choices.
What do you expect from a fryer? Simple, Easy, Non-stick, and produces great leftovers plus fresh fried and baked food. All checked! This thing is amazing.
The only minor negative I have is the temp only changes in 10 degree increments - like there is no 325 degrees possible. So minor - use 320 and be done with it. Easy-Peasy. Comes out perfect anyway.
21 month update: finally a couple of issues.
1) On the bottom pan is a rubber support to keep the proper distance between the bottom and top pans. This support has rubbed a small section of the coating off.
2) The plastic ‘nut cover’ fell of and I tossed it out.
Neither has any impact to the operation whatsoever.
Included pics of the 2 issues plus a pic of the top of both pans. This is after near daily use over 21 months. Still an amazing buy and value to me.
30 month update: Multiple daily uses with great results. Fried some chicken wings for lunch today (not leftovers either). Delish!! Absolutely no change from the 21 month update. Wash once a week - I squirt Dawn on the soft side of a sponge (not the scrubby side) - dry with a paper towel. Never dreamed this would last 2 1/2 years.
