I have seen & heard alot about air fryers, my mom has a similar one she swears by. So in July, when I was able to catch this 5.2 qt fryer on sale for $40 I jumped on it. I live alone in my apartment but it is in a building with senior citizens, so I thought a bigger size would help me make meals/snacks to share. I was honestly skeptical at first, but I love this air fryer! It was easy to learn to use, the touch screen is instantly responsive & the size compacity is great! There are also various cooking/baking settings & that is great! The instruction booklet gives you info on each setting, time/temp suggestions & recipes. I have made: frozen fries, fresh fries, frozen chicken wings, chicken breast, fresh steak, frozen dinner rolls & even reheated take out pizza flawlessly! It is also much easier for me to use from my wheelchair than my traditional oven for quick reheating. Everything finishes cooking in a nice time frame & is crispy, juicy, moist etc. I am so happy with my purchase & can't wait to get some baking accessories for the basket & seeing how the baking setting works.
