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

I bought this over two months ago after an extensive research and it's been fantastic. [Pro] - Usability: It's simple to set the time and temperature. I appreciate the dial to adjust temps instead of up and down button which you need to click on good few seconds to adjust temperature. - Glass Screen: The glass front that you can check inside with light makes huge difference.
