In their words
“my dependable easy air fryer. This one has a very small footprint, so it lives in the counter and is great for toasting, quick baking, crisping items for one or two folks. Highly recommend. It comes in fun colors. Found in a lot of different stores. Great for a college student. This one is easy with the dial I think is most dependable .”

“Not really good for complex cooking, but serves the purpose for which I bought it. Small enough to fit on my limited counter space but works fine for my grand childrens’ French fries and chicken nuggets. Unfortunately, after about a year, a crack started growing on the handle so I don’t know how much longer before I have to replace it.”
