I have had this for about ten days now and made five items. I dont usually leave reviews but thought I would for this air fryer. Its pretty great as far as I am concerned. Pro and Cons. Let me start with the cons.CONS1. Complaints about plastic smell. Not really a con for me but I see others complaining so I will mention it. I had no problem. I ran the machine through several air fry cycles (400 degrees for 15 minutes) before I cooked any food and noticed the oft complained about plastic smell the first time. It then decreased each time I ran it through another cycle until I could barely notice it. Some reviews say to remove the silicon food grade tabs on the grate insert but note that the grate will then easily fall out when you try to empty the pan by tipping it over. It might eventually fall out with the tabs in place but I used a tongs to prevent the grate from falling out any time I tipped the pan over to empty it.2. My big complaint is the instructions. They are sparse. It took me awhile to realize I can pull out the pan anytime I want to flip my food and the machine will simply start where it left off when the pan is replaced. If you already flipped your food you can just leave the machine be for the ten seconds it tells you to flip your food and resumes air frying. My learning consisted of trial and error (still doing that learning cook times and when to flip the food) and looking at air fryer demonstration videos and recipes online. The intstant website appears to have no recipes for the air fryer and the recipe page only has recipes for their insta pot.PROSThe food!! From left to right I first did french fries then chicken thighs, steak, fish and grilled ham and cheese.FRENCH FRIES – Came out crispy and delicious. The picture is actually my second batch. The first batch went in, then I realized the machine was preheating. I just left the fries in. The machine then went to its 15 minute standard time at 400 degrees. The fries were OK but some were overcooked probably due to going in during the preheat cycle. The second batch went in after the machine preheated and used 12 minutes (after I learned how to adjust the time). This batch was much much improved. I used store bought frozen fries which seem to work really well. For fresh potatoes I learned I had to soak the fries first in water to get rid of some of the starch and dry them with paper towels otherwise the fries didnt turn out as crispy as the store bought frozen fries. My only slight complaint is the cooking grate would eventually fall out when I tipped the pan over to empty the fries onto a plate. I learned to hold the grate with tongs to keep it from falling out.Chicken – I love fried chicken so this was the real test. I made four bone in thighs. Two were egg wash and then panko bread crumbs (on the left of the picture) and two (on the right of the picture) were eggwash and seasoned flour. All four thighs were sprayed with cooking oil (PAM). I learned this is a must to get a good fry. As you can see some of the panko came off during the cook from the fan. The panko also tended to burn. Many recipes use panko so the food gets crispy but for me it was just OK. On the other hand the chicken with the eggwash and then flour was GREAT. Crispy, juicy, as good as when I deep fry with oil.STEAK – This is my go to method of making a steak when its too cold outside to grill. It took me awhile to get the time down but the steak turned out really good. I used the broil cycle at 380 degrees. I used an instant read thermometer to get a perfect medium-medium well of 140 inside. I first had the steak on 17 minutes (flipped half way) but it the internal temp was only 120. I then did another 5 minutes. The steak was juicy and perfectly cooked for me.FISH – This was my one “Its OK” dish that I have work on. I did cod loins at 400 degrees air fry for 8 minutes (flipping half way). I used eggwash and seasoned flour with a spray of cooking oil. The coating wasnt as crispy when I deep fried with oil. Next time I will try increasing the time to see if that improves it. I didnt want to overcook the fish which it wasnt.GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE – This was the last item prepared. It was probably one of the best grilled sandwiches I have had in a long time. Crispy on the outside with hot gooey cheese and ham on the inside. My go to way to make a grilled cheese from now on. I buttered the outside of the bread and put the machine 6 minutes on air fry at 400 flipping halfway. Like the french fries, the picture was my second sandwich. The first I had at 8 minutes and that was too long, the sandwich was overcooked. But when I got the time down it made a GREAT grilled ham and cheese.Easy to clean. I just washed the grate in warm soapy water and wiped the pan out with a paper towel after each use.So that its. I hope this helps other people looking at this machine or other air fryers. I am happy with mine so far. Its just a matter of trial and error until you learn the temps and cooking times that work for you.

Is a nice cooker. With a lot of features for the money. And well made. Is the perfect size for my needs. Large enough to cook a whole Cornish hen. Yet small enough to fit on my tiny mind you kitchenette counter. My only complaint. Is the yellow sicker on the glass of the oven door. Wished they had placed it under the glass and not on the glass. Also was a little over packed. ‘Don’t think the foam bag was needed. After two box’s and foam packing. But then I have this issue with nearly every thing I buy.Ps. Those of you who could not find the Rotisserie bit. Check the foam at the top of the box where the manual is. Chances are it dropped through one of the openings. And is between the two layers of foam. May save you a call to customer service.

I love this air fryer. I previously owned a different brand which eventually stopped working after 5 years. I researched what I would buy for a new one and this model came with great reviews. I took the chance and ordered it when it was a special price and I’m not sorry that I did. Clean up is a breeze compared to my precious one. The basket is also square and a little bigger and that makes it easier to put more in it. I love the different options between air frying or baking (up to 400 degrees). So far I’m not disappointed and food seems to cook faster and more evenly due to the bigger and deeper basket.

I bought this as an upgrade to my little basket air fryer so I’m not new to air fryers. It is a staple tool in my home. This thing… was so worth the upgrade.So normally in the basket fryer I go shake the basket periodically to make sure the food cooks fairly evenly (depending on what I’m cooking). The rotating basket function eliminates that. I’d say the big difference is the top rack cooks faster and hotter. Just keep that in mind and your good.For people who are considering getting an air fryer. Do it. Even if its a cheaper basket fryer. When I was gone for a month, my husband could easily fend for himself with our little basket fryer. They are incredibly easy to use and you can cook so many delicious things in them.I recommend this to anyone. If I were rich, I’d buy one for every family member.

I love this air fryer! We’ve had our first one for 2.5 years and we use it multiple times a day, I airfry steak, fish, vegetables, chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks… It can do everything, but we have not had success with baking.It recently stopped working (the door switch needed to be replaced) and I was distraught, immediately ordered another one – we managed to fix it, and I have a backup for when it does give out.Very happy with this product and the Instant brand.

Husband and I are LOVING this. Two trays to fill, and so much easier when you can just slide them in and out, not like some other air fryers where you drop the food down into a compartment.We also don’t bother turning food after noticing it made zero difference, so twice as easy! Easy to clean and super quiet compared to others I’ve seen in action like Cosori. Five minute toasted sandwiches, great chicken wings and more.

I had another air fryer that was suuuuuuch a chore when it came to cleaning. The fan that circulated the air was in the bottom which meant that all of the oil and grease and gunk all caked onto not just the basket but also that fan and cleaning it was a nightmare. It was so bad that when I moved I gave it away (left it on the street — sorry environment)I bought this air fryer two months later after a lot of searching. I am ecstatic with the choice. I live alone but still opted for the 6 quart and have never regretted it. Cleanup is a total breeze. I put some soap in there, hot water, give it a few shakes and voila all good. The fan for this one is (thankfully) in the top so none of the drippy gross gunk to clean up. Instructions say you can throw most of it in the dishwasher but I’ve had it three months and haven’t had to do that yet.If you are wondering if you should get this one, you should, you totally should. You deserve it.

I debated about buying an “Air Fryer” for years. What are they? How do they work? Will it be yet another rarely used kitchen appliance taking up counterspace? The America’s Test Kitchen review of Air Fryers popped up on my YouTube video a few weeks ago and answered many of these questions, then Consumer Reports had a review on their website…apparently the universe was conspiring to convince me to buy one. After surveying my Facebook Friends about whether they used theirs and liked it, I took the plunge. Why did I wait so long?! Photo shows one of my first meals made in the gadget: Salmon and Brussels Sprouts. Of course I’ve made lots of frozen breaded things initially, just to test out whether it would make things crispy: Tater Tots, Shoestring Potatoes, Egg Rolls, Mozzarella Cheese Logs. These all passed with flying colors! The first thing I made (the Cheese Logs) oozed melted cheese but the nonstick coating made clean up a breeze. I’ve also made “Schnitz” (dried apple slices) on the dehydrate setting and they came out perfect. Very happy with this purchase!

I’m a little late in getting one of these but I have to say I love it! What a quick and easy way to cook, especially for a two person household. And big time savings in my electric bill too as I have an electric range/oven. Cleanup is so easy, as soon as I’m done cooking I place the air fryer drawer into the sink and fill it with soap and water, it cleans very quickly. The only thing negative I would say is that the smell when you first get it going is awful. After reading reviews here I didn’t even attempt to do the initial turn on inside the house, I put the air fryer out on the porch and put it through at least 3 cycles to let the smell burn off, a garage would be fine too, just don’t do it in the house and wash the drawer well after. Overall all I’m very happy with the product. I might buy one for each of my kids for Christmas.
