Revainrating 5 out of 5

This ONE product has replaced SEVERAL kitchen gadgets. I'm so happy!

Conclusion: I just LOVE this gadget! Before buying it, I was looking for a fryer on the market for quite a long time (more than 4-5 months). There are so many that picking one is almost a job! Luckily I can stop looking now. It's much more than a deep fryer, which is a huge plus as many similar products don't have the features that this product has. I can cook whole chickens, fry fish and chips, and even steam veggies. Having all of these options in one at this price point is great. I've been able to forego (and put away) a few other kitchen appliances since they do exactly what they do—all in one. The fryer is packaged very well which I am grateful for as I have received countless broken items due to poor packaging. It arrived in 2 boxes - an outer shipping box and a product box. The lid was placed on a glass cooking bowl surrounded by styrofoam. A few items fit in the cooking bowl: Grills (3), tongs, power cord, and instructions. First, it's very high quality. The glass bowl is very heavy, durable and well made. The oven is actually MUCH bigger than I imagined, but I can't complain about that at all. I love the fact that I have so much room to cook pretty much anything I want and even a few meals. Second, they are very easy to use. The controls are on top of the lid, and there aren't any knobs and/or knobs (there are two of them - time and temperature) to drive you crazy, so setup can be fairly quick and easy. There are two lights on the lid - a red operating light and a green light that illuminates when the oven is cooking. The lid has a handle with a small button that you press to close it completely, which initiates cooking. The lid shows the 7 types of food, the temperature at which they should be cooked and the time it takes to cook. This little grid is actually very handy and I definitely appreciate having it. When I use a deep fryer in my house, it doesn't get hot, which is a major benefit for me. I love baking food, but I really despise how hot a regular oven makes my house. It makes a little noise when cooking, but it's bearable. The halogen light that lights up when the oven is cooking is a show for my kids - they love it. I turn off the light and it lights up the whole kitchen. It's kind of random, but it lets me say the lamp is powerful. The oven cooks evenly and quickly, but when I'm cooking a whole chicken I've cooked it longer at a lower temperature simply because I prefer it. The chicken looked beautiful. The cleaning went great! As the chicken was being cooked on one of the metal grates, that was the only thing that took a bit of effort and just made sure nothing got caught in the little nooks and crannies. It took a lot of trouble to wash the cooking bowl, and the lid is easy to clean with a damp cloth. My only issue with this product is not the product itself but the instructions. It's terribly thin and lacks what could be called mandatory driving information. The metal "ring" (which I found out to be an "extension" from my research) confused me like nothing I've seen recently. In some shots it was on top of the fryer (the lid was resting on it) and in some other shots the ring was on the bottom of the glass bowl (that's where it was when it came out of the box). . I searched the manual to find out what it was and what it was used for, but the manual said absolutely nothing about it. I was frankly amazed at that. This prompted me to start my research. There are many spelling and grammatical errors (which don't really matter). As I am reviewing the product and not the manual I cannot deduct a single star for this and this issue does not detract from the product's versatility, convenience and all round excellence. This problem made me spend some time searching the internet for videos or articles about its use, but it doesn't really bother me because I've learned a lot about the air fryer. I can 100% recommend this. product and I look forward to experimenting with it for a very long time.
