Air Fryer Nonstick Temperature Dishwasher Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Simple to use."
• "It's just perfect for a single person like me! I bake pizza rolls, taquitos, and dinner rolls in this thing and everything has came out good."
• "Very easy to use and user friendly."
• "It’s convenient, light and easy to use."
• "It has easy to use buttons and has cooked the few foods we have made perfectly!"
• "I love it! The changing the time and temp are super easy with the dial!"
• "The controls are clear and easy to use."

Cons:

• "It is not as easy to use as I had hoped for and all the recipes I find are for the kind of AF that has the pull out basket."
• "Booklet says unplug after using. Umm that is ridiculous and very inconvenient for a short person."
• "No off button. If you accidentally touch the screen, it comes on, you cannot turn it off."
• "It started out working just fine... now, less than 3 mths later, it will not go higher than 205 in temperature yet it bakes a biscuit in 10 min."
• "for some reason it would not close matter what you did or tried, the door will not shut."
• "The first thing I noticed was how hard it is to clean racks and rotisserie basket."

Design & Quality

Pros:

• "Love that the door pulls down like an actual oven and love the clear front so you can see what you’re cooking."
• "It's a space saver. I got ride of two appliances and now I've more counter space."
• "The interior is huge, which is a plus."
• "It had the oven door style that I preferred over a basket, came with three (3) removable, dishwasher safe wire racks and rotisserie."
• "What made me choose it are the fact that the trays are made of stainless steel, which is healthier than the non-stick material in some of the other ones."
• "It’s so spacious and easy to wipe down."
• "It is the perfect size for family of two to four, fits under our cabinets while all surfaces remain cool."

Cons:

• "But I find that this thing doesn't crisp up food as good as other air fryers."
• "The metal walls and racks are THIN and scrape when the racks are inserted."
• "The screws holding the door in place came loose after maybe 10-15 uses."
• "It’s kind of curved inside, which means that it doesn't always accommodate square dishes very well."
• "THE DOOR FELL OFF!"
• "But I sliced the tips of of two of my fingers trying to clean the racks."
• "Door feels very flimsy, not sure how long it will last with frequent use."

• "Cooks evenly, easy fast cleanup. Highly recommend!"
• "This thing can even do a rotisserie chicken!"

Cons:

• "It cooks the top of food faster then it does the bottom."
• "the food on the lower shelves did not cook as well."
• "Anything on very top rack will be overcooked no matter what, it is closest to heat source, you are forced to constantly rotate racks of food to ensure any sort of even cooking."
• "It doesn’t cut on and is completely useless."
