    First time air fryer user and have enjoyed every minute of it. It’s easy to use, spacious enough to prepare food for my family of 4 and easy to clean. If it’s one thing I had to say that I didn’t care for was the face that not every food setting is listed in the book so you may have to do a little guess work. Other than that great product.

    This has worked very well so far. It heats up quickly, almost instantly actually, and gives you that nice crispy texture, especially on frozen items. I still need to play around with it more cooking fresh foods but no complaints thus far. It's also super easy to clean. I definitely prefer this over a traditional grease fryer.

    Very simple to use and very good quality for a nice price. I’ve baked brownies in it bud had to pour the batter on aluminum foil lined basket. Worked well but it made messy brownies. It would be nice if they included a pan that would fit into the basket.

    I ordered this when it was the deal of the day not really expecting to use it that much. It is the bomb! It holds a lot of food compared to my daughter's whose is more round in shape. This one is more oblong/rectangle. It is very easy to set up and use. Now, both my daughters want this one.

    I had Best Buy points to spend and decided to pick one of these up when it was a Deal of the Day. I was skeptical about the whole "air fryer" fad lately. Its just a convection oven, right? I've got a toaster oven with a convection setting, I use that all the time. The fan there is pretty weak but does circulate the air a bit. Let me tell you for things that fit in it, I'm converted. I was surprised just how fast it cooks, and how much different the cooked food texture is to the wimpy "convection" setting on the oven. I haven't done anything fancy, just prepared frozen junk food. But to be able to have waffle fries from frozen to crispy in 9-10 minutes is amazing. Thicker steak fries take about twice that to golden brown. Chicken tenders take about 15, texture is way better than the oven. The latest thing I tried is two types of pizza which will fit: personal size deep dish, and french bread. The instructions on the package for both types say to microwave (gross) or cook in a preheated oven for 22 minutes. This thing does them, without preheating, in 10 minutes (370F) to perfection. I was worried about clean-up, but so far the non-stick has been OK. A quick wipe while its still hot to absorb any grease followed by a soft sponge and some dish soap gets it clean in a few moments. It says the basket is dishwasher safe, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. It takes up too much space there, and I don't think a replacement is available if it breaks. Based on other reviews it seems the nonstick is a bit fragile so the less aggressive cleaning the better. The only downsides I will highlight so far are: 1. This thing is BIG. It takes up lots of counter top space. 2. Run it for a good bit of time when new with nothing in it, it does have a bit of a new-heating-element smell that takes quite a while to burn off. 3. The company Emerald seems almost non-existent, the web site listed on the manual (eandeusa.com) doesn't go anywhere so don't expect parts or support after purchase.

    I bought this in March after my brother recommended it. I've never used one and was a little skeptical. This air fryer is fantastic! So easy to use and so easy to clean. Everything I make comes out perfect, from chicken and burgers to bagels and garlic bread. I've used this almost every day and I love it!

    Absolutely buy this air fryer. I searched awhile for a good quality fryer. After researching and contemplating, I decided to buy this Emerald brand fryer. It's huge for a large crowd, cook nice and evenly, easy to clean, has options for multiple cooking needs. Bottom line.... AWESOME

    I was a little skeptical on how well the air fryer would work, but I decided to give in and try it out. And boy am I glad I did! I love this air fryer. I've cooked tater tots, fried chicken wings, and steak and they all came out wonderful! Cleaning is a breeze! Way better than the mess that frying in oil makes. Definitely recommend!

    Great Air fryer! Quiet, performs well, good size, easy to use, and cosmetically appealing. It doesn’t take up too much room on my countertop. I use it everyday, so it stays out. I purchased this when it was the Deal of The Day. No regrets whatsoever!

    Great air fryer and lots of room. I purchased another toaster oven air fryer and it did not cook as well at this. I ended up giving the pricey one to my daughter and kept this one as the cooking quality was so much better. My kids use this more than they use the microwave.

    We had a smaller air fryer and purchased this model when it was on sale recently. My grandson loves it because he can cook his meat and fries together at the same time. It’s easy to clean and exceptionally quiet. Very pleased with our purchase.

    I bought this for our cabin. I already have one and decided to buy the same one. My son will only eat chicken nuggets out of the air fryer, so I decided to get a second. It is easy and makes food taste better and cooks faster. I bought both my air fryers as a deal of the day.

    This air fryer exceeds my expectations. It is very easy to clean and the food tastes great. The fryer uses convection air to cook quickly and thoroughly while maintaining great taste. We use a non-aerosol olive oil mister to help give that extra crunchy browning without drowning your food in a regular messy cooking oil.

    It's huge. I was impressed with the basket size. It's able to feed my boys and my wife in one session. I had it for a few months and it feel like a quality product. No issues so far and been a champ. Fried up some frozen chicken nuggets in it in 12 minutes and Crispy!

    Purchased as a gift for my girlfriend. She had never used a airfryer before. After using several times for various foods, she is ecstatic I got it for her. Add to it that it was a DOTD item at a significant savings, we are both extremely happy with it

    This air fryer is an absolute beast! The space to cook the food is larger than I thought and the pan underneath provides great drainage for the cooking process. The cooking temperature comes on in a short period of time and it’s not over cook or burn the food
