    I appreciate what you were trying to do, but I think it might be better to review the cheapest and most expensive air fryers with the highest ratings. I agree that sometimes you get what you pay for, but not everyone has a budget that will allow them to spend $200 on an air fryer. Just because an air fryers is expensive or has the name of a famous chef on it doesn't mean it will be a good value. And just because an air fryer is not expensive doesn't mean it will be garbage. The one in this video definitely is, but I don't think all cheap ones are. Just my opinion of course. Love watching your videos and I'm looking forward to seeing the showdown between the Cosori and the Paula Deen.

Oh also, although the outside was big...the basket wasn't big enough for me. I'm still loving Paula Dean's af though. It cooks fast, doesn't take up a lot of room, huge basket, and looks good on the counter space. There were only minor findings with that one.

After roasting chicken wings and various veg for 1 hour in roasting pans in the oven then, putting everything in a large saucepan, it will then take 3 hours to simmer. It takes 45 minutes in the Ninha pressure cooker attachment! It grills and roasts like a dream. Our son missed it so much that he got himself a smaller Ninja, which has a rotisserie in it. The chicken is amazing. Ninja every time for me!

Not a big thing. It’s about probably $15 now it’s good for five years. And it is just handheld like a can of anything or and it is fantastic. Just a suggestion.

    To get a box out of a box - which you had trouble with - you, don't need a second person, you simply:
    1. Turn the box upside down.
    2. Cut open the BOTTOM.
    3. Fold the flaps out.
    4. Flip the whole thing over and place it on the floor, with the flaps out.
    5. Grab two of the flaps - on opposite sides - and lift.
    6. The outside box slides off the inside box, which is left sitting upright on the floor.

    I've ordered the Dreo. It will give a new definition to the term most expensive. I ordered early for $199. As the program kicks into gear, it will become more expensive. As I have watched the demonstrations, it seems to be much more than just an air fryer, using a probe that samples both the food item temperature and the internal oven temperature. It also has a water source to keep some things moist while others might be crisp. Seems to have a lot of intelligence with a wide choice of selections and internal recipes; a much advanced technology.

      i have a Gourmia. It's cheap, made in china CRAP, but it is decent. The basket sometimes doesn't go in the fryer, like the unit in this video. I have to push it in and pull it back out a few times to find the grooves so it will slide in right.Thing i really don't like about it is the fact that the crisper tray thing's losing it's paint. Maybe it is teflon? It comes off every time i wash it after use.

      "UL Listed" is not even a guarantee that it is in compliance with their guidelines...it would have to be "UL Certified" to mean that UL has actually tested the product for themselves. It is really just a promise that they are following the rules, and have paid the licensing fee to be able to stamp it on their product...what could possibly go wrong with that? Of course there is no corruption and bribery in China, right?

    Sometimes the sellers write there own reviews, say product is great. Then you buy it and it is junk, like that air Fryer. Has happened to my daughter, so the tip on checking reviews and sticking to the ones with thousand or more review is the best way to get a good product.
    Unrelated but my sister thought she found a deal on a switch game, she ordered it and received a pair of ugly sock 6 months later. So if it's to good to believe, don't believe.

    P.S. I loved my Cosori and was disappointed it was recalled. Mine was the 5.8 quart with the stainless steel front on the basket. Not really happy with the replacement they sent me. It's a plain, black one and it doesn't have a shake reminder and the basket is a different size/shape than the one from my first one so I can't even use the old one as a spare. I'll keep using this one...but I have a feeling I may want to replace it in a year or two.

    I noticed a few other strange things with the "Fryernetic" air fryer. For example, the pictures on Amazon show a somewhat different control panel than your unit had. The "Appointment" button on yours is a "Preset" button in the pictures, but neither makes much sense, since the unit also has a "Function" button. Maybe it's supposed to be a Turn Reminder button. I also have no idea why an air fryer needs a "Nut" or "Nuts" preset. I suppose I could toast nuts in my air fryer, but that's not something I would do very often. And, as a few others have pointed out, this unit probably doesn't have a UL listing because of its 2400W power usage claim. If that claim is accurate, it most likely means that the air fryer was intended for countries with 220-240V household electrical systems, and the very least that should have been changed for US-bound models would have been to change the plug so it would only fit in 20-amp sockets. All in all, this was a very entertaining review, although it would have been even more so if you could have worked your kids into it somehow. 😄

      Write the expiration date ON THE BOTTLE so it stands out. Also, buy one with a gauge. The bottle may say 10-12 years. Not much good if you find out that you had a tiny pressure leak at year 5 and needed it at year 6. I tossed one this year about 4 years after it's shelf life. You yucks, I tried it out. It worked fine. It didn't have a gauge. Still would have bought a replacement. But I probably would have kept the expired one as long as the gauge was in the green zone.

    She starts with negative attitude from the go. She doesn't see Watts on the box, but I suspect 1 of the 4 stickers on the box has it.
    Says she doesn't see Certificate for the Electric (like UL), but doesn't see the CE inscription next to the Watts underneath.
    What's so funny about the word FRYER being in capital letters?
    Puts the electrical cable in the wet sink, nearly pushes the fryer in it.
    Thinks it's not 6L, compared to the Cosori. Sure, the Cosori's basket is wider, but the Fryernetic's basket is deeper/taller. One has bigger Length and Width, the other has bigger Height. She can check its volume by pouring three 2 Liter bottles in it (67.6 Oz).
    Proceeds to randomly pushing buttons, leaves the 4 PLASTIC bumpers inside the tray, cooks/melts them and wonders about the smell?
    She should be ashamed of herself for this dishonest review. She tried to be funny, but video was just stupid and uninformative.
