My fiances mom is into gadgets from as seen on TV and this is what turned us onto the air fryer. Normally we are not really too impressed by those type of gadgets, but once in a blue moon, she stumbles upon something evolutionary. And it is not surprising that the air fryer is found at most every retail store and seems to be one of the most popular cooking items and for good reason. Her mom only has 2.5 liter air fryer, so the extra cooking space for this really accommodates bigger portions especially since my fiance likes to cook for several days for work. We were able to cook a variety of items once we first got this unit, including dumplings, green beans, steak, fish, pork. The options are really limitless. The technology behind it is that it circulates the heat like an oven and it is able to cook at high temperatures without any oil or extra ingredients. However, we normally pre marinade our meats and for the deep fried batter items, we like to sprinkle some oil on top like a rub, so that it fries and crisps more evenly. Not to say that it doesn't without oil but it is a tad drier. I would say potatoes, tater tots, and the steak came out perfect and similarly to stovetop cooking. However, for the green beans, it was a bit more chewy and the dumplings seemed a bit more dried, so more of a borderline steamed lightly fried texture. Overall, this really aided me in my cooking adventures because just having to clean pans and constantly watching it so it doesn't overcook really made cooking burdensome for me but this invention made it more accessible since you just set it and forget it. Not literally but practically since all you need is to adjust the temperature and then flip midway through. And the cleaning up for the kitchen is normally assigned to me, and only having the base of the unit and the fryer to clean up was a cinch. The thirty minute timer and auto off functions makes the task of cooking more at ease while integrating safety minded functionality. Some recommendations is to include touch button and digital timers just cause it's more fitting of modern tech gadgets. However, it gets the job done in its form and provides a healthier way of living with practically oil free meals.

Gave this one away as a gift but you can’t go wrong with an air fryer. It took me almost a year before I tried mine out and now I’m loving it! Looking for ways to have fried foods without all the deep frying grease and this does that very well. Even air fried bacon and it was easy and less of a mess. Highly recommend getting one if you are looking for a healthier option from frying foods the old way. It does crisp up frozen fried chicken way better than microwaving it and even warming up fried foods works very well.

I got my air fryer during a Black Friday special two years ago, because I heard great things about air fryers, but I didn't want to spend too much in case I didn't like it. But I love it! I heat up everything in it- fried chicken, french fries, breakfast pastries, appetizers- and everything comes out crispy! This model is small, so we sometimes have to cook in batches, so we might get a bigger one. This one is really easy to clean and has worked great without any issues so far.
