What an awesome little air fryer! I picked it because I have another one at work in a different color, but I wanted this one for my summer home with the beach vibe color really stands out! It is so easy to use with the term of a dial and I love how the basket is Lifted for airflow with little feet! It cooks anything in lickety-split time and no mess!

I love this little air fryer. I have made burgers, salmon from frozen, frozen veggies to perfection, reheated pizza, frozen chicken nuggets and defeated food. It is fast, easy to use, and the food has good texture. The light and glass are great to peak in. Also easy to clean. MGO · walmart.com
