If you're trying to decide which air fryer to buy, this is the one, and buy it now while it's on sale! I paid $10 more for mine a few weeks ago and I love it! It's plenty large enough for the two of us, and would probably be fine for a family of four. It's very easy to use, has worked perfectly for every recipe and pre-packaged item I've tried, and I've found good use for it nearly every day since Pam · samsclub.com
