Title: So good, like really good
Review: Wow! This air fryer, let me tell you, it's something special. Compact—like, really compact. Fits in my kitchen like it was always meant to be there. And the cooking? It's awesome, just awesome. Crispy, golden perfection every time, without the mess, without the hassle. I mean, you just pop your food in, push a button, and boom—magic happens. It's like having a tiny, efficient chef right on your countertop. Easy to use? You bet. Even a guy like me, who’s not exactly a culinary wizard, can whip up something tasty in no time. This air fryer, it’s a game-changer. You need one.That was my best Christopher Walken impression.

Title: Compact, works.
Review: This is my first air fryer. I live alone and have a small kitchen, wanted something I could put away in a cabinet when not in use, and this fits the bill.The fan noise is not a big deal (and when it's cold I love holding my hands next to the exhaust vent for the warm air), it had a plasticky smell the first 2-3 times I used it (I did wash the basket before use), but now it smells fine. Cleaning is a breeze - I spray the basket with water vigorously right after cooking and that's usually enough. Some things, like roasting drippy tomatillos, burned the juice to the bottom. A quick soak and then a wipe with a sponge and it was clean again.So far everything I've cooked I've just done at 400 (the air fry temperature), but it's easy to change the temperature and the time. I like the "food turn" beeps around 2/3 of the way through the time as well as when it's preheated and when it's done.The basket is too short to roast a whole red bell pepper (even after removing the tray from the basket), but cutting the pepper in half and putting foil under it worked great. I've also roasted thinner chiles whole (hatch, anaheim, jalapeno, pasilla), and it doesn't set off my fire alarm the way my broiler does, while still cooking the whole chiles enough that the skin blackened and came right off.Other successes: roasting nuts, baking pie crust cookies, falafel, broccoli (had to learn to put the stems in way early and only put the florets in at the end because they'll burn), roasting garlic or onions or tomatillos, crisping up tofu, sweet potato fries, butternut squash.So far I haven't used any recipes for time and temperature - I've done everything at 400 and put it on for 20 minutes and just keep checking it for doneness until I figure out what works. I think I'm going to try caramelizing bananas next.This thing is fun! I can't make enough sweet potato fries as I want in a single batch, but I can make as many as I should probably eat in one sitting. It's plenty big enough to make as much broccoli as I want, go figure.

Title: Beautiful! A Great Value too!
Review: This is my first air fryer and it did not disappoint! Food is so much better in an air fryer, fluffier crispier! Not to mention healthier! It's a very heavy duty air fryer.. like I said it's my first so I don't have anything to compare it to.. but I don't see how it could get much better than this one! It's a nice weight the drawer comes out without the air fryer sliding towards you.. the red is beautiful in my kitchen.. and the Teflon inside seems to be a very durable coating! When food does spill onto the basket, it wipes right off! Would highly recommend! Also let me add one thing this came to me secondhand I saved $10 by buying it used like new.. and it looks brand new and even smells brand new!! I love the touch screen up top you don't have to press at all .. it's literally a touch screen like your smart phone!

Title: Perfect for small space
Review: Small enough to tuck into a cabinet when not in use. This is the perfect size for one person. Can fit large slice of pizza or two hamburgers. Has 4 settings: fry, roast, reheat and bake. You are able to choose alternate temps and cook times on the led screen. Very easy to use pick cook setting, adjust temperature and time by twisting knob. Preheats then signals when it’s time to add food, turn food over and when cooking is complete. The tray comes completely out for cleaning.

Title: Great now but hoo boy, took a while
Review: I usually don't get into kitchen gadgets, but was excited for this after hearing so many good things about air frying. This item didn't take up a lot of room, was a good price & with good ratings. Wasn't hard to figure out how to operate but good grief, took FOREVER to get rid of weird new-appliance smell when cooking. Wiped down basket & interior then washed basket well, ran several empty cycles with windows open, cooked trial food, cleaned again...no luck. Finally found a suggestion in a Reddit sub to run 3 cycles at 400 for 15 min each with a bowl of vinegar & water in a bowl. Did this, cleaned again and FINALLY, success! Of course the manual did not mention any of this, lol. Anyway - much better now; cooking all kinds of things at this point. I like that the outside isn't hot when I go to pull out the basket, the simplicity of the controls, visibility of display. Sits nicely in a metal stand & does not heat up stuff around it. As others have mentioned, have to set your own timer to turn food halfway through because the automatic timer is apparently stuck at 3 min. Just know that serving size really is 1-2 people, no more. Recommend but just be prepared that it may not be awesome right out of the gate & it may take a little work to really get going.

Review: Vivo sola y a caí en el hábito de comer afuera, pero ahora preparo muchas cosas muy sanas y me impacta lo cómodo que es y lo rico que sabe. Estaba con el pendiente del tamaño de la canasta pero realmente puedo preparar buena cantidad de comida (verduras, carnes) para una sola persona.

Review: The one delivered to me is with a US adapter. I spent another GBP30 to get a converter but the air-flyer does not work in any one function. So i needed to return it. Waste of time.
