Don’t get me wrong.This airfryer works good.It does the job.I have been using this air fryer for almost 10 months.It is a great choice if you are on tight budget with small family.It is smaller in size, so if you have a big family might you have to cook for multiple times. If you are looking for a long lasting quality, please avoid this air fryer. After using for a while plastic underneath of basket started melting.Not sure why.

The knob has broken off so I can’t turn the thing to use the machine and didn’t know you had 15 days to return it if something happened. I bought this less then a month ago. Stuck with it.

Good Air Fryer

Good buy at $30 and now its $25!
After a friend purchased a 2qt air fryer from B.B. and I found that I could make tater tots and fries quicker and more crispier than my old toster/convention/air fryer oven I had to get one.
I've used it on frozen chicken strips and cold pizza as well and it works great.
I like how much oil is left behind after air frying frozen mandoo however the top where it is pressed together is always way over cooked (almost burnt like) no matter how I place them or trying various temperatures. Going back to the old frying pan for my mandoo.
It is very easy to clean the drawer unit and plenty of space to get my hand in there to wipe the coils above the drawer.
It does take up a big chunk of your counter space. I like the foot print of the 2qt but I like the space of this 4L.
The physical knobs make it kind of hard to precisely set the temperature or the cooking time but I knew that before purchasing. I just felt it was more durable than digital controls.

Bought this because the price was right, but was still wondering if I’d ever use it because I didn’t know much about air frying and what all could be done with it. Let me tell ya, I use this thing DAILY. I roast veggies, can cook a salmon filet in 7 mins, roast nuts, bake brownies, you name it. This thing is magic, and I have had it since March! I always unplug it when not in use and make sure not to keep it pushed against the wall where the heat will get trapped. No issue with the back melting, like some people have complained about. That’s definitely user error. This lil thing has exceeded my expectations by far, and I will keep using it daily til it decides to give out on me!

This is a great size for a family of 3-4 it’s easy to use and clean. The materials are very solid made great. The design matches almost any kitchen and looks great on my counter top. It does take up a little extra space but we use it so often now that it’s better then being in a cupboard. I was so amazed by how good it cooks fries, shrimp, and chicken wings. They taste really good and you feel better about eating then because you don’t use any oil or flour but they still turn out crunchy and healthy. Highly recommended

After hearing a lot of hype about air fryers and seeing friends' pictures on Instagram, I took the plunge when Best Buy ran a deal on the Emerald 4L Air Fryer. I chose the analog version because I just want something easy to play with and to gt started on. I don't want to fiddle with options and settings - just timer and temperature. Since I got it, I fried fish sticks and hash browns. Came out looking amazing! I have very little cooking experience but I can follow directions I found online - all the items I tried so far came out great. Hot, crispy and crunchy! Better than any fast food joint I been to in the past few years -

I had been avoiding an air fryer, my countertops are already covered in small appliances. However Best Buy got me by putting this on the deal if the day. I'm very pleased with the purchase. Tatertots and chicken nuggets taste almost like you just deep fried them but with far fewer calories. But don't stop there. Fresh low moisture veggies like peppers, onions, broccoli taste great. I've even air fried mini breakfast pizzas and they come out crisp and yummy. Its also easy to clean. So have fun with your food and enjoy it more with this air fryer.

Great deal, so great, that we bought 2 of them! We got them for 21.99 each and since we bought 2 of them, we got free shipping!!!! I would not have bought them at the regular 59.99, since you can get a digital for that price. Being that these are analog, less to break, so i figure since its only temperature and timer it is not a big deal if it is not digital. in fact it is better since digitals are known to break after a while. so for 21.99 each it is great all way around. I could never eat chicken wings frozen out of the bag using a toaster oven to cook them. they never came out the way they are supposed to be. Fast forward to the air fryer, makes delicious chicken wings in half the time of a toaster over and are great. Mozzarella sticks, no need to order out anymore at 8.95 an order when we can do it at home, even better!!! for only 2 bucks! french fries are out of this world as well. also leftover fries are now brand new with this fryer. still only had it a week, will try more healthier foods soon! The trick with these is to put tin foil on the grill tray so that way it does not get ruined nor dirty. just replace the tinfoil. you can tinfoil the hopper. we chose not too, did not want to scratch the coating since its non stick. the only negative is that the hot forced air comes out the back and whatever your cooking the whole house is going to smell like it. now in the winter if you can get past the smell it adds a lot of heat to the kitchen which is a plus.

This air fryer takes up little to no counter space. I purchased 2, one was a gift for a family member and the other was for me.
Let me start off by saying I love my air fryer. It’s quite and easy to clean. For example, the basket is dishwasher friendly and easy to remove. I used my air fryer 4 times a week and it’s still holding strong. I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone looking for an affordable and quality a fryer

Very well made and solid.
Quite easy to operate as my teen age daughter, who has had no cooking experiences can use it with ease making a few different dishes for herself in less than 30 minutes.
In addition, since the air fry does not use much oil or salt, it seems to get us more healthy foods.
We are all happy with the purchase of it and believe it helps improve our daily life.

This air fryer is easy to use and big enough to cook a whole small chicken, it really works great, I would recommend it to anyone wanting an easy to use air fryer without a lot of complicated features, you simply set the temperature and the time and that's it!

Could have gotten a digital one for like $15 more but passed on… well second thoughts I would pay now… but other than guessing on the time with a rotary dial it’s all good. Very pleased with the size looks and cooking but knock it off one star for it being rotary. Pay the extra…

I love it! This air fryer is compact, but big enough all at the same time. It's so easy to use and always cooks to perfection. If you have a large family you may want one a little bigger, but if you only have to cook for 2-3 people this one is perfect.

This air fryer has become my best friend when making breakfast. I love cooking potatoes and this device makes it incredibly easy to get delicious tasting potatoes in no time! I’m currently experimenting with other foods but I got it at a great price and it’s not a digital air fryer but to be honest I don’t feel like it lacks any features so BUY IT!

Works quick, the analog controls make it easy and it holds enough to for two servings. It lacks some of the features of the pricier models but, for the price, this was a no-brainer.
