re: Help me pick an air fryer

I got this one for Christmas and am still learning how to use it. It seems to do everything, but the air fryer basket is probably more suited for a smaller family than some of the air fryer only models. It works for me, but if you have to cook for a bunch, you'll have to do multiple batches. Sam's or Costco is the place to look.

I have the Cuisinart toaster / air fryer and wouldn't recommend it. It has separate controls for the toaster, and the selector knob stopped working so you have to bang on the side of it real hard to get the toaster to work.

I would pick the one that seemed like it would be the easiest to clean, because you’ll use it often.

Sounds like the Cuisinart coffee maker we used to have. They must get their control panels from China. We went through several of them before switching to a French press.

I had a nice Bunn for years, and when it finally started to leak, we bought a nice looking Cuisinart because it had a timer and a larger carafe. It crapped out on us, within the warranty, so they sent us another one. So far it has worked fine for about 2 years, but the moment it starts messing up I'm going back to a Bunn. I don't care as much about a timer anymore because those brew so quickly. Haven't had any issues with their control panels, it just started leaking beneath the reservoir.
Back to air fryers, my wife and daughter bought a Dash, and for as large as it is, the basket isn't that big. I would have gone with one of the shorter wider options, but they liked this brand for some reason. It is a hideous green color and stinks up the kitchen when my daughter makes chicken nuggets. But I have used it several times to cook veggies and it is great at that.

Our Bunn (A10) does this after several years. Turns out the thermostat gets coated or something and doesn't turn off the heating element. The water then boils in the reservoir, condenses in the overhead, and drips down and under the machine and makes a puddle on the counter top.
This happened last month. I turned it upside down in the sink shacking and draining all the water out. Refilled with water and it has worked great ever since.
Worth a try.

"Ninja two-drawer XL" I got this one for Christmas. Works great for full wing drum/flat, cut the tips, but I use both baskets for ~ 4 lbs at about half the recommended time and they are crispy. Boneless chicken breasts work great, whole sweet potatoes, made beef jerky, etc. Wife tried to to make hot fried eggplant the other night and wouldn't put any oil on them, so she had a dry coating on the sliced eggplant and turned out like crap. The baskets/bottom insert grids are super easy to clean, big plus. I would buy again.

I got a combo air fryer, oven, toaster and really like it. Like LL said, all the benefits of the oven in far less time. Since it replaced my air fryer and toaster, there’s more than enough counter space. It’s a Chefman that I found on Amazon for $89

Ninja has some really good Memorial Day discounts. Just got $70 off of the Foodie 10 in 1

That's a good deal.

I’ve been thinking of getting an air fryer for a long time. This one always looked really cool. Couldn’t pass it up
