Beware the cooking tray easily falls out when hot, even when inserted properly (arrows matching). Despite that issue, still a 5 star product so long as you are aware of the issue since the answer is simple: don’t tip things out of it. Otherwise, it’s a nice compact size and it’s extremely quiet! We can barely tell when it’s running, especially while other things are cooking on the stove, etc. I love the “light” so you can keep an eye on the food while it’s cooking. It’s also dead simple to use and doesn’t have any presets that I never use anyways. The odor eraser is “okay”. However, I’ve never owned any other air fryer that attempted to make this claim so can’t easily benchmark it against others. Compared to our last air fryer, it makes a noticeable difference, but I wouldn’t buy it expecting to never smell what’s cooking. Preheats quickly and seems to cook efficiently as food is always cooked based on the minimum time on the package so long as you don’t overcrowd it. I seem to get the crispiest results when whatever I’m cooking is fully in contact with the cooking tray. Therefore, I doubt the claim of cooking “2lbs of fries”, at least to a desirable texture. I admit I could be doing it wrong but I tried a bag of fries once and while cooked through, they were really limp and soggy. However, this was all true of my last air fryer as well so didn’t take off any stars. Definitely well worth the money and a great choice so long as you know the cooking tray will fall out if you try and tip it past 90° (especially while it’s hot) and that the odor eraser makes a noticeable difference, but it’s not magic, the smells will still linger but with less intensity.

This is probably the best air fryer that I have ever owned. It has a large bucket that easily holds enough food for 2-3 people. I have had other air fryers in the past that were smaller or a glass base that just didn't cook enough food at once, or were a nightmare to clean. It has a filter in the lid that needs to be replaced every few months, but it is super easy and the filters are very inexpensive, I use it with a Silicone liner for things like cheese sticks, and the parchment liner for foods that may be a bit more drippy. If I am doing fries or battered foods that need crisping, I put in with out a liner at all. Cleanup is a breeze with the nonstick pan. I probably use a minimum of once a day and it cooks everything needed quickly and without all the extra power of using the oven. I even cooked a large steak in it once, and it turned out absolutely fantastic!

I am in love with this Air Fryer. Last night I seasoned raw chicken wings and they came out so crispy, tender and super delicious. The controls are intuitive and easy to adjust. I love the light so I can watch what is cooking. The simple nod system replaced the usual presets that are confusing. Just turn the knob to adjust to your recipe. It is big enough for my family and so easy to clean. It is a healthy alternative to frying, and the results are delicious. I can't say enough about how much I am enjoying this Air Fryer. Plus, the price was very reasonable. It replaced my first air fryer and is such an improvement. And it is so easy to keep clean.

This was the top-rated air fryer by America's Test Kitchen and it is exactly that. I use it almost everyday and have rarely turned on my oven since we bought it. It makes, hands down, the best chicken wings ever. And I'll never do grilled cheese in a skillet or toast in a toaster again. I cook fish to perfection, meat and vegetable kebabs, the crispiest bacon and so much more. Besides "air fryer," there are controls for roasting, broiling, reheating, dehydrating ... so versatile. So quiet. So easy to clean (pro tip: get parchment liners and put one under the tray rack - no more messy grease to clean, just pick up the corners and get rid of it.

This is my final and fulfilled review. The air fryer itself has not been under review. The Instant company has been under reviewed. The machine itself made me very happy. Electronics is always something that can break. Just one of those things. The fryer is fabulous and I see it happily used in YouTube videos and well regarded. The company has fulfilled it's obligation to replace my under warranty air fryer, given me an apology for sending the wrong machine when one showed up, and suggested I gift it or donate it since it's not useable for me. My new machine appeared today. I am increasing the rating to 4 stars. Can't give it five stars because of the long drawn out customer support. I am so happy to be able to revise and update this review and I thank Instant for fully resolving this. I am writing to update my review. I still have not received my replacement air fryer. Same excuses and no product. Worst customer service EVER. Instant is proving to be as poor as their reputation of the past suggested. I'll keep updating, but at this point, it appears they have no intention of honoring the warranty and replacing my air fryer. Wish I could only comment about how great the machine was while it was working; because it was great. It was our first one of these and I researched it and took the America's Test Kitchen Recommendation and bought this model. I dithered a bit opening the box because it's large and I needed to do the mental gymnastics to figure out where to put it and then how to use it. About two weeks into actual use, the fan stopped working. I contacted the company (return window was closed) and provided them with the necessary proof of ownership, conditions of use and a video showing a broken machine. They were happy to inform me I'd be receiving a new machine, discard the old one (saving reusable parts) and await their tracking information. Great! Except I got silence from them. Waited over a week and was told they had a problem with their warehouse and it was being fixed. I'd get my tracking number in 2 to 3 weeks. Follow up contacts got me nowhere. Asking for my money back, I was informed I hadn't purchased it from them so they couldn't refund any money. I purchased it from them via their Amazon Store here but that is apparently different than purchasing it from Instant. Their website gives me the same contact information as the warranty information so I have no other recourse but to share my story. People have been very nice and very unhelpful in not providing me with a new machine. I had thought it would be a great gift for a couple of family members. I'm definitely rethinking this. The whole warehouse story is sounding silly. If they're waiting on manufacturing in China because of a bad batch, they should say so. Better than this excuse after 4 weeks... "Our warehouse is undergoing changes that have resulted in unexpected delays with shipments." In fairness, if they fix this for me, I will return here and update the review.

We are late to the air fryer game and bought this to replace a smart oven that had seen its better days. I love its small footprint on the countertop making more space for food preparation. It performs better than expected, reheating food much faster than a traditional toaster oven. The controls are very intuitive and easy to read, although I did download a cooking guide from the internet since we are first time users. We feel like we received a great value for our money. The basket and glass window are easy to keep clean without running it through the dishwasher. My only hesitation is the odor erase air filters, as I am not sure how often they will need to be replaced, but the process looks straightforward enough to make it an easy switch.

Love this thing more than my family. Wow its good. Like seriously no air fryer stacks up from what I've seen. The window, ease of use, its all great. Filter clearly works too, very little odor, lasts a while too, just wish it came with spares. It heats up fast, the size is perfect for my needs, seriously couldn't be happier.

I can’t give it more than 1⭐️ star because I believe there’s a dangerous design flaw. However, it’s my third air fryer, and it’s pretty decent at its job. You might like it. I used it daily until I decided to give it away. CONS: - (-3⭐️): The design flaw is that when you tilt the basket to remove food, the hot tray falls out onto the food. - (-1⭐️): It has a “fake bake” feature. The fan continues to run during the bake setting, and anything you bake, unless it’s a specific cookie that doesn’t mind being blown at, will noticeably dry out. MEH: - It heats up very quickly, in about 1.5 minutes, but then slows down and reaches its maximum temperature of 400F in about 5 to 7 minutes. My unit might be slow, but other air fryers reach 400 faster (but heat up slower). I don’t think you’d notice a difference, though. The food was slightly drier, but not much. - The transparent window doesn’t help much. - There’s no separate control for time and temperature. Switching between settings works fine, but it’s a bit annoying. I would prefer two knobs. PROS: There are some advantages that you won’t find in cheaper air fryers: 1. It gently reminds you to flip the food. 2. It has a nice digital knob that’s easy to use and responsive. 3. It remembers your last settings, making it easy to repeat the cooking process. 4. The overall design is nice. It gets moderately hot in the front but is okay on the sides. I would say the heat management is great on this machine.

Best air fryer ever, it's not quiet, but when it comes to even predictable cooking this fryer can't be beat. Not too mention it is quality built unlike many others that are so cheap. If your looking for a long lasting air fryer, that will last for years, this is the one to get.

Nunca había tenido una air fryer, pero pienso que es un buen producto. La mayoría de los productos que he preparado traen instrucciones y quedan bien

Optimista el cocinar sin lugar a duda. De freír durante media hora o mas grandes tandas a solo unos 5 minutos es genial. Solo que limpiar se me hace algo engorroso. Y el recibo de la luz incrementó notablemente.

J'ai découvert ce produit un peu par hasard à travers une influence sur les réseaux sociaux. Je n'avais pas de grandes attentes, mais c'est devenu un indispensable pour ma cuisine ! Il remplace le grille pain et je n'utilise quasiment plus mon four maintenant. Il chauffe rapidement et est très efficace. Le seul reproche concerne les odeurs. Malgré un changement de filtre (avec un filtre à charbon), les odeurs ne sont pas complètement filtrées. Heureusement, ce sont de bonnes odeurs de nourriture, donc pas trop gênant !

I made french fries from scratch. It was so easy. I cut up 1.5 lbs of potatoes, tossed them in 2 tbsp of olive oil, a few shakes of salt... 15ish minutes at 380 with a couple of tosses along the way and... Best fries I've ever made! And no oil to dispose of afterward, no smell of cooking oil throughout the house, and the basket and the insert cleaned up in seconds. Highly recommended!
