Cuisinart Air Fryer, 9-Quart Basket Large Fryer with 6 Cooking Functions to Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil, Keep Warm, and Dehydrate, 6 Airfryer Presets, Dishwasher-Safe Parts, AIR-220, Stainless Steel

High-quality, easy to use appliance. The unit has a bright display with presets for common items, and will air fry, roast, and bake. The individual buttons have a nice firm feel to them and overall the unit feels very well made. Foods cook quickly, with need for very little oil, if any. The 4.5 quart size is a good size for two people, in my opinion.

We bought the 9-quart basket stainless steel fryer oven and it is even better than everyone says. Very easy to use. Intuitive. Easy to clean. Does not take up too much room on the countertop. We've only use it to air fry and are exceptionally happy with its cooking ability. Nice that it does not need preheating so you can place your food in the unheated basket tray, pop it into the cooking slot and turn it on. Many other models require preheating so you are trying to juggle placing your food inside a very hot tray while trying notto burn yourself. The primary reason we bought this model is because it has a large surface area in which to cook. The cooking tray/surface is about 12" X 10 1/4". Large enough to lay out fish, pizza or french fries. (We eat a lot of pizza and it has heated it up better than any other method we've found.) We also have a smaller basket-style air fryer that works fine for smaller portions. We found that when you pile food up inside the basket of a small unit (such as pouring in a large bag of french fries) it never seems to crisp properly. Therefore, we wanted more surface space. This air fryer provides it. We always use the paper inserts and almost returned it before we used it the first time because there are no basket paper inserts large enough for the tray. However, we found that you can lay down two 8" X 8" papers and it fits fine. There is also a removable divider so you can cook one food item on one side separated by the divider. In this case, you simply place one paper on one side of the divider and another paper on the other side. This air fryer is worth every penny you pay.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my new air fryer. I've never had one before, and people have been telling me for years that I absolutely have to get one but I was always just like yeah right. Well I finally decided it was time and after a bit of research, I settled on this one. Really happy with my decision. It's super easy to use and the control panel is basically self explanatory. It seems to be of good quality, but I've only been using it for a little over a week now. First thing right off the bat though is the incredible time savings, and the food is absolutely no different than out of the conventional oven, and in some cases it's even better out of the air fryer. When I want to make frozen tenders and fries in my conventional convection oven, it takes at least 15 minutes to preheat, then the tenders take another 24 minutes, for a total of like 40 minutes. Then the fries have to cook on a higher temperature so they take another 20 minutes and I'm looking at almost an hour to make tenders and fries. In the new air fryer, there is no preheating, I put the tenders and fries right in the basket together and cooked them for 13 minutes. Dumped them out on my plate and they were completely hot and crispy chicken tenders and fries that were even better than out of the oven. I saved about 45 minutes. Tonight I wanted a garlic knot with my leftovers, and that would have normally been a 15 minute preheat plus a 6 or 7 minute bake, but for tonight I did it for 5 minutes in the air fryer and it was lighter and crispier and better than out of the oven. Also, I reheated cold pizza in it and it came out hot and crispy in like 6 minutes. Highly recommend this air fryer! Looks really stylish on the counter, and it appears to be of good quality. The price was very reasonable as well. But the absolute biggest benefit from it is the extreme time savings in cooking food and how hot and crispy everything has been.

I received this air fryer and immediately decided it was too small, I attempted to exchange it for the next bigger size (4.5qt). Ultimately ended up with both sizes and as it turns out the 2.6qt is the only one I use, as I am usually using it for one to two people. It works very well, is very quiet and has nice features. Easy to clean and the viewing window with the light is very helpful for knowing when you're about to have a bigger mess than you want.

The air frier works well and can give crispy results if you want that. The pre-set time for some of the items may need some adjustment. So there is a easy learning curve to make some adjustments. The machine is well built and easy to use. It is essentially a small convection oven.

Easy to use with large capacity. The removable plate in the bottom makes it much easier to clean than my prior fryer. I pop the plate in the dishwasher and just give the basket a quick wash. The light is a great addition. It allows you to monitor the food without having to continuously open it to peek. I wish it came with a recipe book, but that’s minor.

I bought this Air Fryer for my wife as a gift for the holidays. When I first set it up, I was amazed that this unit was not overly huge but had a very large 9-Quart basket, yet it hardly takes up any significant counter space. Then I was blown away at how quiet this Air Fryer was while it was cooking. It also cooked our food quite nicely, my chicken tenders were nice and crispy. This was definitely worth the price and I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Honestly this is the best Air Fryer I have bought. Its a nice size, the noise level is low, easy to use, did not have a new smell, I love the touch screen. DOES NOT BURN food and cooks evenly. Everything taste great! I love it so much! Get it its worth it.
