So I bought this on sale and mentioned it to a coworker and he decided to go halves on it with me.I bought it strictly for work because well, that’s where I am most. Anyhow this thing is awesome.. it’s healthier eating, as you can see on the bottom when you clean. It’s fast.. big bucket to cook multiples. Easy to clean.. oh and a little tip.. since we don’t have a dishwasher (just sink) at work we hand wash it.. get it mostly dry. Then pop the bucket back in for 3 mins, and boom it’s clean as can be. Love this thing.

This is my first fryer and it does a good job. Its simple to use and very easy to clean. I use it mostly for tenders, wings, french fries, chicken and beef patties. It fits a good amount of fries, tenders and wings but only 2 frozen patties at a time. I have not used it for cookies or cakes but it says in the cooking book that it can do those as well. The food comes out very well and in a good amount of time. The touch button features are very responsive as well as the turning knob. Overall it's a good fryer for a good fryer for a good price. Thank you.
**Note**- I bought this fryer when Best Buy had it on sale for $50.

I'm not into cooking meals that involve a lot of work. My husband and I used our new air fryer last week and love it. We threw some chicken into it and the skin was crispy and the meat juicy. Since they were large pieces of chicken we added more cooking time than was in the booklet and I was afraid the meat would be dried out but it was actually more tender and juicy than cooking it in the oven. We are going to experiment with other food items soon but I already know that this air fryer is going to be used a lot. Easy to use and impressed with how it cooked.

This air fryer works wonders and changed my life. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Please read the manual before using as it let me know that at the 1st couple of uses it would give off a funny smell which it did but there was nothing wrong. It cooks all different types of food and you can get creative with it. I will say, depending on what you are cooking it can take a while but it is still a healthier alternative as it takes little to no oil when cooking.

The air fryer works like stated. Food was evenly cooked and was finished fast. I will definitely be using the enclosed cookbook. I bought the bigger size since we have a family of four and it is BIG! I don't think we have room for it in our counter but since it has little clean up we can use it on the island. Other than that, no regrets.

I think at this point I've bought about 6 of these! 2 for my home and 4 others for friends and family. They frequently appear on the deal of the day for about $60. I really like the digital display on these as well as the bigger basket size of the 5.2L model. We mainly cook fries, tots, chicken patties and strips, eggrolls ect. Made muffins in this air fryer twice to show my kids it was possible (used silicon muffin cups)... they too were great!

I am new to air fryer and doesn't want to spend close to $100 for a try out. This machine is good price when its on sale. It's amazing, the basket is wide, so you can lay out more items. With air fryer, it seems like its better to lay it out then stacking the food. Frozen pizza I cut into small pieces and able to do half a pizza each time, only need about 7-10min (no pre-heat) and it tastes great. The best thing is when reheating left over fried chicken and fries, they are crispy again in 5-7 minutes!

It actually bothers me how much we use this. Reheating chicken wings is my favorite thing to do with this. I actually like them better after they've been reheated in this machine since they come out crispier.
Cleaning is very simple and has never failed me since I purchased this about a year and a half ago.

I've heard a lot of good things about air fryers recently, so decided to take the plunge and buy this Emerald 5.2L.
I had never heard of the Emerald brand before, but Best Buy had it on sale, and I had some Best Buy bucks that were about to expire so I put them towards this.
5.2L doesn't mean a whole lot until you get the product and put it on your counter. This is a big machine! But to that end, you can easily put enough food in the basket for 4 people at a time.
In the time we've had it, we've tried making fries ourselves, from scratch (about a 75% success - needed longer to cook), frozen fries, veggie tots, shrimp, chicken, reheated pizza (yes, it's amazing for that), reheated chicken fast food (it revitalizes it and brings fries back to life), and we've even put chiabatta bread in there with garlic butter on it and it turned out amazing!
Overall very happy with the fryer, it is fairly intuitive to use, a rotary dial to select the pre-determined settings, or push buttons to select your own temp/time etc. I've found that it's always good to heat it up for about 3 mins before using it... really makes a difference.
As for cleaning and tidying up, it's a breeze. A little Dawn and a soft brush cleans it up like new every time.
The handle to separate the inner basket from the outer basket is a little fiddly, but once you've worked it out, it's a breeze. I did have to tighten up the nuts that hold the handle on, but since then it has been absolutely fine.
For the $21 out of pocket I spent on this product, I can't complain at all. It really does a great job of frying your food to a nice, hot, crispy consistency, and does a great job of reheating fast food as well.
I'd recommend it!

I was able to get a delicious food cooked in a very short time. It required no oil at all, yet it was so very crispy, juicy, tender and delicious. I prepared chicken wings, fries, and a cornbread loaf. Best invention ever!

I have been looking at air fryers for a while and this one came up as a deal of the day. The reviews were good, so I thought I would give it a try. It is pretty simple to use. We made tater tots and they turned out excellent. Nice and crispy and flavor full!

I wanted a way to make food with less oil. This hot air fryer is perfect! Made breaded filet of fish from frozen to dinner in less than 30 minutes! Crispy and hot throughout. Also made chicken breasts from scratch. Again crispy and moist. No splatters - Love this fryer!

I have been really happy with this air fryer. We have made everything from donuts to chicken breasts to frozen appetizers and everything else turned out perfect. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It is a bigger size and does take up a lot of counterspace.

This air fryer is amazing! It is SO SO big! I can slice and dice 6 regular sized potatoes to fry and it handles them like a champ. It is huge though, so if you have limited counter space, beware,
