Customers often highlight the ease of use, delicious food quality, and the surprisingly good value for the price of the 2.5L Analog Air Fryer. Many appreciate the low oil usage and the crispness achieved, resulting in food that tastes as good as deep-fried alternatives. However, some find the cooking basket to be on the smaller side, limiting the amount of food that can be cooked at once. A few users also mention some minor issues with the timer's functionality.
I love this air fryer! I have used it about 6 times so far. The suggested cooking time is not accurate. When cooking chicken pieces, I've made it 3 times so far. It says 30 minutes, but I find that an hour is more accurate for it to be fully cooked/more crispy. I could fit about 5-6 pieces of chicken at a time.The max setting on the cooking timer is 30 minutes then it turns off, so I have to set it for another 30 minutes. The first 40-45 minutes set it at 360 degrees, then last 15-20 minutes I turn it up to the max setting which is 390. It taste like baked chicken with a fried chicken crunch.. I've also made hot wings, fish, chicken nuggets, fries. I usually use cooking spay on the bottom of basket before I put the food in, then spay the top of the food the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.Its suggested to add about a spoonful of oil in the bottom for more crunch, but i don''t feel it helps, it just sit there I feel the cooking spray is better. I read other reviews before buying, so far, I haven't experienced any rust or peeling on the bottom/cooking surface. To clean i wipe with soft side of sponge only, no abrasive products! If food is stuck on it, soak bottom part of the pull out basket only in another contains with warm water, 10 minutes max. It usually soften up by then and wipes off easily. NEVER SOAK/ PUT THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE PULL OUT IN WATER!! If food is stuck on that inside part, I have put maybe 1/2 cup warm on the bottom to loosen the food then soak it up with sponge and wipe clean. I NEVER LET WATER TOUCH THE SHINY METAL PARTS INSIDE!!! To be clear. It's 2 parts to the pull out bottom. When you pull it out, it's also a basket that you take out that part.

This is a Fantastic Air Fryer! My friend had one of a different brand and raved about it. I saw this one & ordered right away! This one is substantially larger & could easily accommodate a meal for a family. It heats up & actually cooks incredibly fast. Everything comes out thoroughly & properly heated. I have used it for the usual chicken wings, fries, potatoes, shrimp, etc. But what inpressed me was when it reheated my leftover pizza slice without any burning or scorching! I hsve evn chosen this over my toaster for my breakfast Toaster Scramblers (like Toaster Strudels but with egg, cheese, bacon/sausage!) Its only been a month so I'm still experimenting but I have zero doubts in its performance! As you can see, it doesnt take up too mich counter space; it has a quick temperature/time guideline on the top along with a handle for easy placement if you choose to not store on the counter. The front display is self explanatory meaning little to zero confusion upon usage. The handle on the tray is very sturdy and doesn't feel cheap. There is a little button with a clear cover that allows the user to lift the frying tray out of the canister. It comes with a mini recipe book to give you a jumpstart of inspiration & I they are actually pretty good! Not pictured but it has a special code that gives you access to the online community that has tons of recipes! All in all, Yes! Get this! Whether you are a Pro or Novice in the kitchen, tech savvy or technologically challenged, or are single or feeding a crowd! Very effective, Easy to Use & Clean, and Overall...a great addition to anyone's kitchen!

I purchase dollar store spring rolls, it crisps them perfectly for a quick tasty an inexpensive snack. Took to long to pan fry and too much oil used. No oil added with the air fryer. I love it.
