I love America's test kitchen. As a Brit not all of the choices are available but at least the items are properly tested and reviewed rather than simply running a load of promotional videos. Keep up the good work !
I got the Go Wise based on this review and am 100% happy with it - get a kit with the pots & racks (about $15) - and just got a silicone pot that's a must and you won't ever worry that the non stick coating will fail and you can use any cooking spray and metal utensils (about $20 but worth it)
I have the Go Wise Air fryer. I don't use my stove or oven anymore. I got my Air fryer in October of 2017. I bake in it. I just love it .
I Love my Air fryer...I use it for about everything...AND IT DOESN'T make the house hot ..so cooking in a air fryer in the summer is a Blessing..
Suki Yuki what brand do you have??
Does the air fryer cook any faster than conventional methods?
@Dave H... Yes it cooks in a fraction of the time. I can't remember the last time I used my oven. Savings on my hydro/electric bill too! I have the Ninja and love it.
@@missadams1330 I have no clue and I have had it several yrs....I am actually do to get a new 1..It either came from JC Penney or Sears..My husband bought for me several yrs ago..and it still works but i need a new 1..
I actually use mine outside on the porch when it is very hot or I am cooking something smokey, like bacon... oh... bacon comes out awesome in the air fryer! Awesome!
Also, I cook salmon in my air fryer and it comes out fantastic, not brown like on a grill but the taste is just great and it comes right out of the skin so easily as well. Just wonderful.
As a guy who normally prefer's Lisa's review style I thought Adam did a great job here! He incorporated their team's testing methods instead of just talking about the units.
... a guy who prefers* (third person, no apostrophe) ...
We don't used our regular oven for ANYTHING anymore except for Thanksgiving turkey. Instead, we use our Cosori 5.8 air fryer four or five nights a week. We cook pork steaks, pork chops, chicken thighs, legs and wings. And right now I am cooking biscuit pizzas in there. They turn out AMAZINGLY better in there than the oven.
We don't often eat frozen foods like fries but when we do they turn out great.
AND the air fryer is AWESOME for re-heating leftover take-out pizzas, too.
The clean-up is really easy, too. Just a soapy sponge. NOTHING sticks to the basket.
When the time comes that this baby stops working I won't hesitate to buy another Cosori.
I have a Power Air fryer since before thanksgiving and I love it. I bake, toast, and air fry in mine. And I like the toaster oven door to either of those you critiqued.
Suddenly this guys reminds me of Glen from Superstore, and now I can’t unhear it.
I love America’s Test Kitchen. Literally one of the best UA-cam channels
Flavcity is a awesome channel also!!
They're on PBS, Create channel.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Guillermo Maison Instablaster ;)
@Ephraim Alonzo thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
We have an air fryer and since my kitchen is under complete renovation it’s been very handy and it’s more energy efficient than heating up the whole oven when someone wants a quick snack or lite lunch. However, it takes up too much counter space so it’s going to have to be stored away some place where the kiddos can get to it if needed. Thank you for doing this review.
Your review is very timely as I am in the market for a reasonably priced air fryer. Thanks for another great job ATK!
I really appreciate ATK. These videos help me get the best product for the job without making costly mistakes and manufacturers pay attention and respond. My favorite one was the food processor review. When a blade design flaw in one of the processors was discovered Cuisinart redesigned their blade to correct the problem. I have confidence that these reviews are authentic and not influenced by manufacturers incentives.
These are perfect for 1 or 2 people. I don't have to crank up the huge oven and let it Preheat and warm up the whole house. One problem was that I could not run on same breaker as microwave at same time. For me this was an easy enough fix of putting at opposite sides of the counter, but maybe something you want to take into account.
very helpful info
We make a batch of lumpia and the freeze them(pre-cooked filling).
The air fryer does a really good job of crisping them up.
The best part you can "fry" just a few at a time
and can have them anytime without any real wait for the fryer to heat up.
I do a light spray with olive oil before air frying mine in the Ninja
Hi There! I am a supplier of all kind of air fryer, the key point on our selling air fryer we use a special ceramic non-stick coating on the cooking basket, so on our air fryer we never have a problem on the coating peeling off issue. This coating is easy cleaning and have an excellent non-stick function.
Cleaning the baskets is the easy part, how do you clean the area above the heating element?
Don’t miss air frying frozen hamburgers and turkey burgers...especially the Bubba Burger Bacon and Cheddar burgers. Finished burgers will be well done, moist, and delicious. You’ll need an instant thermometer to ensure your patties get to an appropriate temperature, but trust me - we even cook our burgers this way in the summer, when we could cook on our outdoor grill.
Love your equipment reviews - you cover everything I want to know!
I like ATK's reviews. The most expensive item (whatever it is) is usually their favorite, but nearly always they have a seriously less expensive option that is really good.
Hello! I’m always looking to up my cooking game. You guys always have the best advice on how to do that.
I finally gave in and purchased a Chefmate because I was tired of turning on the oven to bake two hash brown patties for breakfast in 90 degree weather! Got the smallest one for the price of $29.99 on sale at Target! No regrets! Works like a charm in less time!
As a single person household..my power air fryer is do-it-all gem...cooking for one person made so easy and trying new recipes is a great fun...forget my stove-oven...can't live without my air fryer...best investment ever...
Linda Petersen same here.
I totally agree ... I also live alone in a very small apartment & in summer makes a lot of sense not to use oven. I even make pizza in air fryer; together with my Mini InstaPot, best investment I've ever made.
I use mine every day. At the minimum to roast my vegetables all the way to cooking my chicken. And yes, in this hot summer, it is great to use rather than the oven!
Agreed Kathie! Use mine almost every day and can't believe the food is better than using conventional oven!
I love my Phillips Air Fryer and use it almost every day. The ATC Air Fryer cookbook is excellent and shows how to do so much more than fry.
Mega dittos and respect for Adam regarding his observation of what a proper serving of fries is.
Your comment deserves more upvotes John. 👍
I got a Secura one on Amazon, which seems not to have been tested, and have loved it for 2.5 years. Currently a little over $60, I got it when it was a hair under $70. I do like the analogue control and can't imagine messing it up the way testers did with others. It also fits under my cabinets
Thanks !
I bought my Bella Pro Series 5.3 quart air fryer last December on Black Friday. I have to say it is and will probably always be my favorite. I cook chicken, hamburgers, ribs, steak, french fries, frozen pizzas, etc...I’ve even made croutons in it. I use it at least 5 times a week (if not more), especially with it being summer and not wanting to crank up the oven. I’ve bragged on it so much that mother bought one, and she loves it too.
I purchased a 3.5 quart essential air fryer from QVC for $40.00. It's my first fryer and I have cooked everything in it. I haven't used my oven since. I'm not into frozen food but if course I tried the french fries since that's all they talk about. I will say they were delicious, crispy and brown. I've made steak,chicken,fish all fresh and all delicious.
After 2 decades of owning NuWave convection ovens, I bought the Kalorik OvenMaxx. It's amazing, only falling short in 2 areas; lacks a temp probe and size of chicken that will fit on the rotisserie, but chicken skin is very crispy. I has an extremely strong convection circulation, which seems to be an overlooked requirement. ONLY $199 and free shipping.
We got the Ninja Foodi Grill/air fryer a few months ago and we almost never use the stove anymore. It's just me and my husband so it fits the perfect amount of food for the 2 of us.
I bought a Tastemaster 1 1/2 liter Air Fryer at Dollar General for around $30. I love it. Easy to clean. Cooks great. Excellent size for cooking for 1 or 2 people.
I have the gowise and have used it for over a year now. It's been the best small appliance purchase i've ever made.
it heats up food from the freezer between 6 and 9 minutes, depending on if they're dumplings and pizza rolls to frozen meatballs and curly fries (don't judge me). This video reminded me after more than a year of using it, pretty much on a daily basis, the nonstick coating is starting to flake on the basket. I just ordered a replacement basket for $26 from amazon.
do they dehydrate? I didn't think the temp could go low, like 40F, which usually is used for that.
AFs are so great, especially for people like me who are trying to eat more plants & less oil. Would love to see more AF recipes! Very happy with my Instant Pot Vortex air fryer!
I have two, because of different basket sizes. I’m thinking the Emilele one that looks like a toaster oven may be better. I made a grill cheese sandwich. Had to cut into 1/3s sonitvwouldblay flat. The taste and crispness and taste were excellent..
Yep, Very happy with my Philips Turbo Star!
I personally love my Cosori Air Fryer!
Would love to see a comparison of the oven type air fryer
Yes, I like some that toast bread, then I don't need my China made toaster, which is not the best. Here I go googling !
@@KindCountsDeb3773 apparently you CAN cook toast in the drawer style air fryer. See Lisa's later comparison between the air fryer and the air fryer oven.
Why didn’t air fryers existed years ago?
Got a Copper Chef when ordering a smokeless grill. It's small but perfect for one person. Fell in love with how it cooks. Fast and easy, cleanup is a snap. Microwave is now my bread box.
Now you're all getting me confused by praising all the DIFFERENT air fryers which you bought, use and love. Drat.
But thanks for sharing anyway. :-) 👍 🇬🇧
To me, the ease of cleaning is very important.
Can you test the latest "air fryer/pressure cooker" combo cookware?
We use the Ninja Foodie “air crisp” and LOVE it. Sweet potato fries, chicken Parmesan, meatballs, chicken nuggets, all excellent when using that function. We also use the pressure cooker function for ribs and then crisp them up with the air crisp function. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Oh I’m glad to see this! I’ve been going back-and-forth trying to figure out if I should get an air fryer and an Insta pot and then I noticed the ninja. I wasn’t sure if it was a good buy or not. Happy to see you’re enjoying yours.Is it easy to switch from pressure cooking to air frying?
I totally agree. The two cooking appliances I use on a daily basis in my kitchen are my pressure cooker and my air fryer. Purchasing the Ninja Foodi combined my two favorites appliances in one unit. The Ninja Foodi works too. For an extra bonus, I sold my old pressure cooker and air fryer on Facebook Marketplace for some extra cash. Win win 👍
I bought my mother a Ninja Air Fryer for Christmas. She uses it daily. Best thing for the single cook. So easy to clean. Ninja had a sale and got it for $89. I visited and plan on buying one when I return to England. I have their blender.
I would take ATK's word for all these tests they do, they are pro's and know a bunch more than I will ever know. Thanks ATK TheReaper!
Thank you for all these videos. Thank you for your time and effort. Very informative.
Thanks for this vid, I really want an air fryer and I trust you guys on reviews.
Thanks for the review. Would've been helpful to understand how they compared when it came to cleaning. Suspect some are easier to clean than others...
Bought a Philips AF when it first came out some 5 years ago, still going strong
I also have a Phillips AF and the ONLY thing I don't like about it is when you make something breaded with actual breadcrumbs it shoots the breadcrumbs out f the back vents and gets my countertop all messy but aside from that I love it! ❤️
@@lumiere7216 Maybe you should spread a tea/tablespoon or 2 of oil on top of the crumbed food, already placed inside, to make the crumbs stick, then cook.
I know that sort of defeats the whole purpose of air-frying but that little bit of oil will be cooked out anyway. Or you already tried that?
Its good to know there are still people out there who still cook/prepare food the old-fashioned way lol
Ours is over 3 yrs old and still love it.
My trust in America's Test Kitchen has always been total. Bought this Phillips fryer last year within a week of seeing this vid and couldn't be happier with it.
Can you place the basket in the dishwasher to clean?
@@SM80FG yes
I have a Dreo 6.8 qt air fryer. I easily fit 4 medium size russets to bake and fried nearly 2/3 of a pound of bacon today. Basket is huge. All digital with several presets. It has a window across the front with a light you can turn on and off to check your food without having to keep opening the drawer. Pretty awesome so far. I bought it to cook real food, not frozen snacks.
Can you do a top pick for Toaster Air Fryer Oven Combo? Also do a video on which oven ( Toaster Oven or Toaster Air Fryer) is best for different needs. Love your channel. G
I would have liked to have seen a list of all the air fryers you tested and how they ranked.
@@lonahansen4990 Which is now pay-walled! Damn.
@@ssatva That is not a new development.
@Alexis N. A toaster oven doesn't have a convection fan.
@Alexis N. Ummm, a toaster oven is a compact regular oven. An air fryer is a compact convection oven. Having had both I can assure you that they cook very differently.
The De Longhi Multicooker Extra Chef is amazing!
love these equipment reviews. Thanks
Thank you for offering both your favorite and a more affordable option. Much appreciated
If you live in Texas during the summer just lay your food on the sidewalk and its fried without heating up the house. I haven't even ran my AC this year and it's been averaging 93 to 98 in my home and I'm 58.
So cool ive been thinking about getting one of these for only 3 years. Hopefully i can go to the store and get one in the next couple of years.
I bet the Salvation Army etc is loaded with them, just like all fad appliances people buy and then throw out :) Wanna buy a breadmaker and a fondue pot cheap?
@@mahumike7531 So the 90s and 70s respectively for those. You recommend looking for air fryers at Salvation Army in 2040?
@@DietBajaBlast I'm sure you get my drift now go away
@@mahumike7531 thank you Mike, i didn't think of that. Of course im thinking impaired so i guess it might take me another year to figure out the salvation army or goodwill. Lol.
U wont regret it..I use mine for everything..my son is disabled and he even uses it and I dont have to worry about a fire or anything..I dont think I could live life with out it..lol
I don't see my Cooks Essentials 5qt here, and it's a very popular model! I use it for all kinds of things from re-crisping take home French fries, chicken wings, pot pies, burritos, canned biscuits (250° for 11 min.) to America's Test Kitchen's glazed meatloaf, which comes out better than in the oven! It sells for about $100. Personally I don't see much use for a 3qt fryer, they just don't hold enough. Maybe for a college dorm room or something.
I love my Gowise use it everyday and recommend getting the the pots & racks (extra $14) - i ALWAYS use non-stick spray - when cooled soak in hot water and can easily wipe with sponge - it's perfect for one or two people
I have a Cosori 5.8 Qt. Air Fryer and it works very well. No problems at all.
Me too! I love it
Ordering one now.
I have the 5 qt Cosori, one of the few with a preferred square basket. I bake rolls in mine too.
RobP me too
I am getting one. It is the only one with a large square basket and rated best of 2020. They did not even test this one.
Hey Rob... Hope all is well with you.... How is the clean up with yours ? Dishwasher safe ?
@@deliber8cre8tor cleanup is good. Mostly use parchment paper which helps. It’s only 2 of us, so we don’t use the dishwasher.
Love my Cosori!
I love the Bella air fryer I bought at BJ’s for $49 on a Black Friday deal. Still works great and is easy to clean but have a screwdriver close by. We have to tighten the screws often. They are short and loosen when you shake the basket to move food around.
I had this sweet little $40 Dash compact for three years and loved it. But it was small for two people and if I tried to air fry two different things with two different appliances I tripped the circuit breaker. So I just invested in the double basket Ninja. It’s a monster, no two ways about it, but two different things, two different temperatures, two different cooking methods, two different times. And again they said so they finished at the same time. Burgers and one, fries in the other, or potato fries for my husband and sweet potato fries in the other side for me. The possibilities are endless! And I’m going to try making biscuits. They’re just a little convection oven and I can make a couple of small biscuits. It’s hard to cook for two people and I think this will simplify it. Hopefully next time you’ll include the new dual basket Ninja Foodi in your tests.
Here in the UK, I managed to bag a DeLonghi, in a clearance sale, for £60. I have used it 3 to 4 times a week for the last 3 years. It's very versatile, makes great fries and wings. 😋👍
Yep, disappointed that it was completley ignored! I love mine so much I bought a second one.I have the Multifry Extra Chef and added the one in this video. between them and my portable induction cooktop, my stand alone oven and cooktop never get used. So much easier to clean, and easy on power too.
4:52 was expecting a cornballer moment there.
Always enjoy Adam's jovial presentation.
I had the old philips air fryer and totally love it. I was thinking of getting a new xxl version.
I got a Cosori air fryer 3 months ago and love it (too bad they didn't test that one, but highly recommend it)! Didn't think I would have much use for it, but I use it all the time. Like they said, it is a bit of a learning curve, but once you nail down the correct time and temp., the food comes out amazing!
Your right, It is the best'
Nice to hear. I just ordered a Comoros.
I’m in search of a good air fryer and the Cosori was recommended. Which model did you select? I’m preparing food for four people? Thank you.
I have the analog Phillips never had a problem with accidently changing my settings. How clumsy are people to do that mid cooking?
I was just telling my MIL about this as we were wondering about air fryers. Thanks for the video! I’ll have to let her know which one win out.
I have been wondering about these fryers. Thanks for the info
I agree, the food capacity is my biggest knock on my airfryer. I would have liked to see a comparison of the bigger ones that look like toaster ovens with multiple trays/racks.
I have a cusinart oven style one an it’s 😑meh
The reviews of toaster oven/air-fryers I’ve seen all prefer the Breville, which also has a dehydrating option. We just ordered the larger one. $399 at Williams-Sonoma. Be careful, there’s a smaller one that looks the same, for $50 less, but if you want the larger capacity...
I saw a 6 quart and it claimed to hold a lot more food. Most people thought it worked for that.
They did one with these and the oven looking type and preferred these the basket type.
The inside is important too. My Caso came with a wire mesh plate to set food on and my sister bought the ninja fryer with a metal plate with vent holes. I find that the food doesn't stick as much to the metal as it does to my wire mesh. The outside of the Caso doesn't get as hot as the ninja but cooks better than the ninja does. If my hand touches the side of the Caso drawer as I turn food, it isn't much of an issue but when I used my sister's ninja I was surprised at how hot the drawer was. Just my thoughts. 😁
I wish i was more familiar with the appliances, however i used to get burned way too often so i went to Sears appliance outlet now called America freight. And i bought these gloves Kenmore Cooking & Grilling Glove
Item # 23562 | Model # BGM-06-AL
Now i can grab many items directly from the oven and hold them for maybe 20 to 30 seconds. The price now is 5.99 i don't know if that's online or in the store because i bought mine at 10 dollars years ago. The material of the glove protects your hand really well. There are similar gloves at other stores but i think they are much more expensive.
We have the Elite digital air fryer flip up top and it is fantastic. We purchased it from Wal-Mart $99.
We also have the Elite pressure cooker as well, another really great and cost effective product.
We have had them for 2 years and would buy them again in a heart beat FYI. Easy, fast to use and clean up as well.
I absolutely love my air fryer! But, I absolutely hated the digital controls because they take more time to set and are too loud! I gave away my digital one and bought the Phillips brand fryer with analog controls. I love it!
I love my Cosori air fryer.
I was looking for the Cosori but they didn't mention it.
They need to include the Cosori. It's the #1 best seller
Already have a Ninja Foodi which is probably a different category, but we love the air fryer functions.
snoopaka I love my Ninja Foodi Flip!
I wouldn't think so cause many are multi use.
Have had Ninja 10qt for awhile. Works great and especially here in Florida where it's too hot to use the oven and heat up the house. We use the airfryer which doesn't heat up house.
The Ninja Foodi is the BEST.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GREAT DEMONSTRATIONS! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I have that GoWise 3.7 qt model.
Love it!
I have had several and prefer the hairdryer with a door, it is easier to cook different foods at once with 3 racks.
A pound of fries is a single serving! Loved it. A friend of mine is a weight lifter and he always says bacon comes in one pound packs and milk in a one gallon jug because they are single servings!
Love your reviews. So many times you prefer the cheaper version. The testing is comprehensive also. Thanks again!
After having 2 basket style air fryers, a GoWise and then a Ninja, we went with the digital Cuisinart TOA-65 Air fryer oven. We sold our gas grill after buying the first air fryer as we make everything in the air fryer now. It cooks up steaks, chicken, roasts, ribs and veggies just perfectly. We also don't use the large oven.
What about the newer toaster oven sized air fryers, like the one Emeril Lagasse has been hawking?
I hear emerald has plastic parts inside that melted and stink
those are just toaster ovens with convection; the whole air fryer fad is just convection cooking. if you have an oven with convection you don't need an air fryer, you just need a wire rack. if you don't have one, a toaster oven with convection (like most mid to high end models do) will actually perform better than these because they have more room for the air to circulate. i hear the brevilles are good.
We bought a Cuisinart Air Fryer/convection/toaster oven about a month ago. Have tried every function except convection, so far both my husband and I really like it, I can't have real fried foods so this makes it possible for me to make homemade fries occasionally, or fish and chips.
@@cunty I've had a Cuisinart toaster oven for 12 years and never bothered with the convection option, just used it as a regular mini oven, and it's interesting that an air fryer is pretty much just a convection oven.
Would like to see a test of countertop/toaster ovens with air fry capabilities please.
yes yes yes
They have been around 30 + years and are called convection ovens.They do not work as well as hot air fryers.
@@mike6l6 Well, they're like convection ovens on steroids, with the fan and extra heating element positioned in the roof, instead of the side.
@@patriciamorgan6545 if conventional ovens have stronger fans ,the results can be better?
@@patriciamorgan6545 I have the Ninja Foodi (Model DT251) 10-1 Smart Digital XL Pro Air Fryer Oven with Thermometer. The fan is in the rear. It's a pretty big appliance. My first AF. I liked that I can roast the main course while air frying the side dish. Until this model, I had no desire for an AF. If it can't do it all in one go, what's the point? Right? : )
Thank you for your helpful tips! Was looking at the Instant Vortex Plus? Rethinking which one to 'try'?
LOVE YOU GUYS!!! NO MATTER WHAT YOU COOK OR PRESENT FROM TESTERS. ALL INFORMATION IS VERY HELPFUL. THE FOOD RECIPES ARE GREAT. ITS LIKE WE HAVE ANGELS TO GUIDE US IN COOKING AND BUYING!!!! YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!! NO MATTER WHAT IM DOING, YOU GUYS HAVE MY COMPLETE ATTENTION!!!! LOVE YOU
InstantPot recently came out with an air fryer lid attachment that fits the 6 quart size. Not sure if it fits all the IP variants (i.e., the older style vs newer with handles on the insert). I'd be interested to see how this addition stacks up.
Did you test any of the toaster oven style fryers? I’m intrigued by these since they seem more intuitive for food loading and have more capacity. I also think some can double as toasters/broilers.
I have Emril's and love it. Great as an airfryer, toaster, bake, broil and even comes with a spit for doing a perfect whole chicken. I am done with having a counter full of do one thing appliances.
I agree.
Love my Cosori Air Fryer which was around $119 and I can control it with my smart phone. Thanks for the review. Next, let see some recipes for air fryers.
We have the Go wise it works great. Makes my food perfect.
Just got the Ninja combo/pressure cooker and love it
I've been using air fryers for years, starting with the ones with the big glass bowls and the lids with the halogen light heating elements (grown up Easy Bakes) to the NuWave oven (cooks whole chickens and small-ish turkeys) and to my current one, the GoWise 3.7. Woo-hoo! I plan on getting the GoWise 5+ qt for shits and grins. I still have the NuWave, and it's been going strong for a number of years, and it has a large cooking surface for five or so chicken breasts or even a meat loaf, but the smaller GoWise is great for smaller cook-ups. There are great units out there for not much money, so no one should hesitate to get one of these.
I also have a NuWave in addition to my Power XL air fryer and have barely used it. Do you think it would give the same "air fried effect"?
@@mindywoodford650
What they are, in essence, are convection ovens writ small. Your XL is small than the NuWave, which is smaller than the fancy ovens the TV chefs use. A heat source and a heavy duty fan moving air. My NuWave cooks great: I can do whole chickens and meat loaves and ears of corn, etc. My GoWise is easier for smaller items. Use them both.
The hosts mentioned they could cook only ONE POUND. Confusing since so many say they can cook 4 pounds of chicken, meat, etc. They had a Lot of fryers, so I'm wondering IF the one pound stated was correct. Thanks
@@KindCountsDeb3773 Maybe the hosts say one pound because that's what they found optimal across the board. I think when the manufacturers make a claim - such as four pounds - it might be because that's how much can be physically jammed into the tub. We have to gain experience through trial and error, so maybe we can do up to four pounds of frozen fries or wings, so long as we shake the basket enough, etc. I now have a small Dash unit and I tend to fill only half the basket for stuff like fries.
@@bobg1685 Good to know. Question: I love fries and fear the air fryer won't cook them the way I like. Are the fries you do taste good? I know you can use a BIT of oil in an air fryer, maybe that would help. If not, I'd be afraid they'd be bland.
I have the Wolfgang Puck air fryer oven and I love it. It was the only one I saw with 3 fan speeds. That way when you add a slice of cheese it won't blow off. I don't think I could get alone with my cooking without it.
I'm not sure I purchased the most efficient air fryer, and I am still checking on your expertise!
Why not review the oven type with a door and racks. I gave the drawer type away for one and love it PowerXL Elite.
A friend of mine also has that model and loves it.
I'm in the market for one, but also prefer my toaster oven for convenience. Have you tested any toaster oven style air fryers? Thanks! Love your product testing shows!
I'm curious, too. Hoping to throw out my regular toaster, IF it toasts . Also, my small convection/toaster oven.
I have the pullout style with the handle and love it. Got it for a steal at Sams Club because it was going to be discontinued. Price was like 40 bucks and it is 5.8QT. BUT it fell on the floor and the handle cracked and I havent been able to located a replacement. That is making the lid style seem more attractive to me. I still use mine but am bummed out about the handle. Tried gluing it but it keeps breaking off. I glued it again and avoid using the handle for fear it will break again. I wish I had bought two.
I just got a air fryer from Walmart on clearance for$20. And fell deeply in love with it , I've been trying a lot of things with it like hot pockets they are so much better than the way I used to cook them , and leftover fries oh baby yes.
I love my air fryer and y'all didn't try it. I do love all your testing. I there are alot of items that I totally agree with you on. Please keep on testing. God bless
tx 4 telling us which one
Has anyone tried the Nu Wave Brio series or the new Ninja Foodi grill & Air Fryer XL? Your expert review would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I love my InstantPot Vortex. It comes with a rotisserie and a rotating basket for fries etc. better than the traditional style I used to own.
We just bought the Vortex too and we love it. Wondering if this is an older video even though it was uploaded five months ago. They missed several very popular models.
As usual, recommend the most expensive one!
Being this is 2 years old, check the Cosori 5 qt model, max intuitive - heats to 450, not just 400,
