Perfect Sidekick to a Full Sized Frier

Compact yet fully functional. I had purchased this air fryer as a secondary overflow unit due to the affordable sale price, and I’m not disappointed. You can easily make a side while cooking the main dish in a larger unit. This unit “frys” just as well as my large fully powered unit. Everything comes out crispy and perfect! It would make a create fryer for a single person or someone with very limited counter/storage space due to its extremely compact profile. The analog controls make usage a snap!

Emerald - 2.1qt Air Fryer - Black

I have the 5.2 Emerald air fryer and find it too heavy to clean easily.
I wanted one smaller. This model is too small but a breeze to clean. It cooks well to excellent for example chicken breasts. Some people say two pieces but you can stack them up to the max line
and move them bottom to top for even cooking. So it is workable for the convenience of cleaning and space saving.

I cannot say enough good things to say about this product! I love this thing. It's super easy to use and safe to use, my children are able to make themselves a quick quarantine lunch and don't have to eat out of the microwave all the time. We actually loved this 2.1 qt so much that we bought the bigger one. I don't have any experience with other brands to compare but for the money this one is definitely worth trying. I enticed a few friends to get one & I also bought 2 for gifts.
you can literally cook anything frozen or fresh out of this thing, its amazing.

Perfect size for a single person. I bought this as a gift for my friend who lives alone. The price was very reasonable and the product works great. The only complaint my friend had was you can’t manually turn the timer off? Other than that it cooks his food to his liking!

I already own a much larger 5.8 qt air fryer, but if you've ever used something that size you know that cleaning it can be a bit of a pain, especially when you don't need the full size.
This is a very simple air fryer - set the temperature dial, set the old school kitchen timer style timer, and go.
The basket is small - but that's what I was after. The tray that sits in the basket is a bit difficult to get in and out and I think I'd prefer it be loose rather than too tight, but it's fine.
I won't be making meals in this air fryer like I do in my larger air fryer, but for heating up small amounts of food this works perfectly.
It's important to set your expectations correctly for this air fryer before choosing it. Don't go trying to make a meal for a family of 4 from scratch and you won't be disappointed.

This unit is good for small quantities of items and is very quiet. If you are a person who doesn’t like alto of digital touch sensitive controls, you will like this unit. Just dial the temperature and the time and that’s all. I am a little concerned that the three little rubber cushions on the tray insert may not survive the constant heating and cooling over time. But other than that this is a good single serve air fryer for the single person.

Great little starter air fryer

I wasn't sure if I would use an air fryer enough to justify buying an expensive model. I got this when it was on sale and I would say its an EXCELLENT starter model. I used it every day the first few weeks and I think its great. My teenager loves reheating pizza in it.
This model is small and doesn't have a ton of fancy features but it does what it should. It really helped introduce me to the air frying world for just $20. I am ready to upgrade to a larger model.
I think the reviews that give it 1 star because its small are ridiculous, they were clearly being cheap and bought a tiny model and are then upset when you can only cook 5 wings at a time, what did they expect?! lol

Best Beginner Air Fryer

Have always wanted an air fryer but didn't want to spend a lot of money nor did I want a big one. I found this, it was on sale, and I was able to use my Best Buy dollars. Great bargain. I love the air fryer and will probably at some point invest in a larger one. This was a great beginner air fryer. French fries and chicken thighs are my favorites. I even made a mini pizza which came out great!

Wrong Description, this is 2L- NOT 2.1qt

I loved this airfryer. I didn't love the dials, but I got it for such a good price that I couldn't complain. It washes easily and works well. The description is wrong. I bought a bigger airfryer and it was HUGE compared to this one. It's because this is 2L, it says on the box. It is much small than 2.1 quarts. Good for a single person cooking, you definitely have to get a bigger one if you want to do enough for say 3 people. You need to shake it well if you fill the basket up. If you can get this on sale, do it. It is great for the price if for a couple people.

I have used this for about a month now. I am still getting used to cooking times for everything, but I use it for almost everything. The food turns out pretty perfect. One of the little rubber things came off the grill, but it popped right back on. It is perfect for just one or two people. And an easy clean. Glad I got this. Perfect for my tiny kitchen.

The price for this Emerald 2.1qt was fantastic and it does exactly as described. If you're hoping to feed 3 or more people, you're going to need a bigger model, but this is perfect for 1-2 people and doesn't take up a whole lot shelf or counter space. Recommended.

I was stoked to get this on sale for $20 not expecting much. It's my first air fryer - I didn't want anything huge and this is the perfect size to make stuff for my husband and I. I've used to to make kale, fries, brussels sprouts, and have reheated pizza and potatoes and roasted veggies. It works great, is easy to use and has a small footprint. Highly recommend for the price.

First time air fryer buyer. The price couldn't be beat, especially for the value/quality. Use this a few times a week, and even my 10 and 14 year old children operate it safely .
Next purchase will be bigger tray.

I was really suspicious of the air fryer craze but got a great deal and finally gave in. Cooked a few things and really happy with the results. Great for one person, easy to clean and doesn’t hog the counter.

We love it! It's so easy to use, and it is fast and quiet. This is our first air fryer and we got it at a really great price. The capacity is small, but is perfect for 2. We couldn't be happier with our purchase!

It’s definitely an air fryer for the first time user. It works perfectly. Fries and chicken nuggets come out spectacular. Love it so much that I upgraded to an 8 quart air fryer. Definitely worth the money.

I love this product, it is so easy to use and does an excellent job. I chose this one because it was smaller and I am using it in my motorhome. It fits perfectly in my space.
