I bought this as a gift for my husband. This is a no-frills, intuitive, very simple to operate, easy to clean air fryer which is ideal for someone who doesn't want to fiddle with complicated electronics. The top dial sets the temperature (up to 400°) and the lower dial is an analog timer (up to 30 minutes).
The fryer's basket size is adequate for a single or couple. We have made roasted (fresh) broccoli which turned out great. We made fresh crinkle cut potato disks which also turned out well. I soaked the freshly cut large russet potato about 10 minutes to remove excess starch, blotted the disks dry, tossed the barely damp potatoes in a little vegetable oil, pre-steamed them 2 or 3 minutes covered in the microwave (to achieve the desired fluffy interiors) and then air fried them shaking every few minutes to get the golden with crispy exterior. We have also made frozen taquitos that were golden crisp on the outside and piping hot on the inside. We also had great success reheating french fries that lost some of their crispiness from "steaming" in the bag on the trip home from McDonalds. Due to the small batch size, I would not try to cook something for more than 1 or 2 people, unless it is an appetizer with very small helpings. If you overfill or overcrowd the fry basket, the food will not crisp well.
The basket has a removable bottom, and both pieces are nonstick and easy to clean. It is my habit to either immediately wash the basket and tray or put them to soak for washing after the meal. I also only use plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the basket. So far the finish has held up well. If it starts to degrade, I will update my review.
***Also, I took the advice of other reviewers and coated the numbers on the temperature dial and around the timer dial with clear nail polish to assure the numbers would not wear off from repeated cleaning. So far, so good! Numbers are still intact after a few cleanings. If this changes I will likewise update my review.
UPDATE: After having the air fryer is still going strong. It has been used a couple times a week for almost a year and a half now. The clear nail polish I applied to protect the numbers on the temperature and timer dials has worked flawlessly to prevent the numbers from being damaged by cleaning.
