Cuisinart Air Fryer, 2.6-Quart Compact Basket Fryer with 3 Cooking Functions to Air Fry, Roast, and Bake, 3 Airfryer Presets, Dishwasher-Safe Parts, AIR-80, Stainless Steel & Black

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.

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.

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 love this Cuisinart Air Fryer! The 6-Quart capacity is perfect for me and the window feature is handy. It is very easy to use and it cleans up easily and quickly. Everything I've made in it so far has turned out perfectly....chicken wings, baby back ribs, Italian sausage links, frozen butterfly shrimp, roasted bell peppers. I highly recommend it!

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.

Very good quality Air fryer. Iv used it a few times now and the food comes out very well cooked and easy to clean. I love the sleek design . Highly recommend

I love this car fryer. It works great. Cooked salmon, and breaded chicken so far and both meals came out moist and cooked to perfection. Easy cleanup. Got the 4.5qt. Perfect size n does not take up much room on the counter. Very happy with product.

This is my first basket air fryer, I have a big and bulky airfryer oven combo as well. Thought I would try the basket style mainly for easier cleanup and it’s smaller. I got it yesterday and have used it 3 times already. Didn’t bother reading the instruction manual as all the buttons on the front of the machine are self explanatory. First thing I made was roasted artichokes. I used a paper liner for easier cleanup and they turned out beautifully. Next was hasselback potatoes, and this am I made diced breakfast potatoes. This Cuisinart is easy to use, quieter than my other machine, and love all the features it has. The turn/flip food alert is great, you can turn it on or off. Also has a keep warm function. There are buttons for wings, fries, etc. or you can adjust the temperature and timer for what ever you are making. I find it is durable and high quality, and the 6 quart is a great size. My only complaint is the crisper unit is somewhat flimsy, and feel like it will break easily. Looking forward to making my husband some wings next weekend. Overall I am highly satisfied and happy with this purchase.

Cuisinart excellent products
