Hopefully a good multi-tasker

I had talked myself out of an air fryer because I really don't fry anything, but when my toaster went haywire, I thought this might be a good multi-tasker replacement. Funny how things look so much smaller on those shelves in the big box stores... It took nearly half my available counter space once I leave 5 inches around it for air flow. The available oven space doesn't correspond to the amount of counter space it uses.

So, I tried toast -- I ended up with one giant anemic-looking crouton, but I'm hoping with some trial and error I'll get it down.

Next was a baked potato since I had potatoes in the house. That turned out fine.

I really haven't had enough time to experiment beyond the above, partly because of time and partly because of bakeware -- 2 frying trays are included, but 99% of my bakeware is for a standard 36 oven. Once I get a better idea of how I'll be utilizing this easy-bake oven, I'll invest in some appropriate-sized bakeware.

As a single person, I'm hoping to find this as useful as the multi-cooker I bought but didn't know what I was going to use it for -- and it's the most used appliance in my kitchen. Read full review...

Great multi-purpose unit. Unfortunately I've had just a bit of trouble, though it's functioning fine when it finally accepts your requests.

I bought it as a damaged item/refurb. The visible damage isn't bad at all. But, I do believe that whenever the product got damaged that the control board was compromised. Sometimes I just push and push and push a button, sometimes 30-ish or more times before it'll register my input. It's not just one button all the time. It's completely random as to which buttons will be easy or difficult to push. It's something I can live with, just irritating when I'm cooking. I do worry, though, that my purchase may not last very long if the buttons get worse. Otherwise, I love the unit. I've cooked many things since I received it. Next up is a whole chicken on the rotisserie.Read full review...

Now I can't live without it.

It takes up a little bit of counter space, my countertops are not spacious. I love how food takes so much less time to cook and tastes wonderful. I find I'm buying foods I seldom did before just because they are so easy to cook with this and everything has been great. So easy for clean up. The first thing I made was a whole roasted chicken, it was so moist and took way less time than a conventional oven. It looked so good I took pictures and sent them to my family. They were impressed how golden and crispy it was.Read full review...

Works fine, had to get past the initial smell.

Our unit showed up with some minor cosmetic damage. Don't know if it was from shipping or just a damaged unit. It didn't impact the function of the oven. I had read about the smell from other reviews so the first six or so heat cycles I ran it outside. It did smell bad. Brought it inside and used it and we still had the smell. Over the last several weeks we have used it two to three times a week and the smell is nearly gone. The fan is a little loud but not as bad as I had anticipated. So far all the functions we have tried work well. It's our first air fryer so we are enjoying trying different food in it. Read full review...

Great but Annoying Beeping

This production is great!! Cooks very fast and very easy to clean!!! I really love it. On the down side little small. The beeping is very very very loud!! If you have sensitive ears . . . .WARNING!! the beeping will wake up everyone in the house. Got to a find a way to disengage the beeping noise!! Terrible!! Beeps when you turn on beep when you open and close the door. beeps when you push buttons, beeps when it warms up, beeps when it is ready.Read full review...

Excellent value

I really enjoy my instant unit. It is compact, easy to use and cooks very well. Be advised on oven or air fry, it will cook in half of the time stated on a food package, or mine does!

It Works

I have only used once for Ore-Idaa fast-food fries which are thin fries. straight out the freezer ,air fry (400) for 8 min. I filled the rotating basket with fries and placed in oven when prompted,pushed rotate and waited. The fries came out crispy and tender with a few ovecooked. The taste was almost as good a oil frying jus a little bit healthier. I was satisfied .The oven did exhibit an electronic heating odor which I suspect will disappear after several uses. The fries did not accept the odor. The sound is not as bad as I thought it would be. So far ,so good ,a little experimenting is in order to master this oven as is with most new things.Read full review...

Great product

I love that it’s square and if you have a round one you’ll understand. Instruction book was informative. Product works well and saves so much time. Excited to try the rotisserie! Only thing that bugged me was that no recipes were included.Read full review...
