Customers consistently note the Viva Collection 2.75 qt. TurboStar™ Analog Air Fryer's ease of use and cleaning, as well as its ability to produce juicy, flavorful food with little to no oil. However, some users mention the small basket size and limited capacity as drawbacks, finding it insufficient for larger families or meals. The air fryer's noise level during operation is also a point of concern for some customers. While many praise its performance, a few mention that the instructions could be clearer and that more precise temperature control would be beneficial.

I wasn't sure about "air frying" but this is great! Simple to use and much healthier than using oil for deep frying!

I got it as a gift for my girlfriend so I didn't know what to expect. I wanted a Phillips so I knew I was going to pay for a better product. It's easy to use, cooks extremely fast and it's definitely a healthy way to cook. I gave it 4 stars just because it a little towards the small side. No complaints, it works well!

We use the air fryer regularly to cook dry rubbed wings, pork riblets, and beef tips. It works great.

Great for a single person with a guest. This fryer seems to have no limit as to what it can cook & has been my go to appliance for most meals. If you have a family of 3 or more you will need a larger Air Fryer.

I bought this frier as an experiment. I felt it could be a good idea but wasn’t sure how it would turn out. This frier works better than advertised. I gave it four stars because the accessories are difficult to match.

Easy to assemble, precooked frozen food cook very well. Homemade fries took a little getting used to but everything comes out way crisper and flavorful than in an oven!

Healthier alternative to deep frying

I picked up the air fryer for my wife on mother's day 2018. We previously used a fry daddy. The air fryer is a nice, healthier option than deep frying. It uses minimal oil and is pretty quick. For poultry (chicken tenders, etc) it does take a little longer than the directions recommend. She really loves using it for cauliflower (w/sriracha) and brussel sprouts (w/parmesan cheese). If you have a large family, plan on taking a while to finish and several batches. For our family of 4, it's just right.

This is a great air fryer. We purchased it for family as a gift based on liking our larger Phillips air fryer. They love it. They told me: this air fryer is perfect sized for a smaller family, 3 or below. If you have more than 2 or 3, go larger. Easy to clean, cooks quickly. It seems like an experiment whenever we cook fries or tots to get them the way we like them without burning them. After a couple tries, we get them perfect!

I love this! We are able to enjoy “fried” foods without the oil splatters and the mess. It very easy to use even the analog kind. There is a useful guide on the front of the machine so you can take the guess work from figuring out how long the chicken tender or fries need to be cooked and at which temperature. Now, if only cleaning the inside of the fryer is also easy. I am guessing in a couple of years, the heating coils will get oily and sticky and will make it hard to clean the panel behind it.

I eat a ton of food for my sport (powerlifting) so anything that can make the food cooking process easier and faster is worth its place on my countertop. I can cook a steak (up to 12 oz) and small potatoes in exactly 12 minutes without having to tend to it. While it’s not as seated as a grill or pan cooked steak, it’s still very juicy and cooked just right. Super easy to use and maintain.

After reading reviews of all fryers under $100 I found that they either did not fry right or the nonstick coatings would peel after a few uses. I decided on the Phillips Fryer as it had all good reviews and was the first air fryer. My wife loves it. I figured buy once cry once. The unit is simple to operate and clean. Makes french fries quickly with no added oil. We use it when we go camping too.

I was a little hesitant getting this as it was much more expensive than other options - however, in the 2 months so far I've had it, I've used it almost daily, and it is working wonderfully. Easy to clean, easy to use (not a lot of buttons and other options that I don't need and that tend to break or malfunction). Very happy with it!

I am absolutely in love with my new air fryer! I have cooked a turkey breast, pork chops, fried catfish, chicken, Brussels sprouts, fried pickles, and more that I can’t think of, and it has not ONCE let me down! It’s easy to use, quick, and can cook just about anything. I’ve barely touched my oven since I got it. I love it!!
