Let me start by saying this air fryer has completely changed my cooking routine. The first thing I noticed was how compact it is—it fits perfectly on my counter without taking up too much space. But don’t let the size fool you; the 6-quart capacity is more than enough for my family of four.

The touchscreen controls are a game-changer. I love being able to customize the time and temperature, but when I’m in a hurry, the preset functions are a lifesaver. And that Hi-Fry technology? It gives my chicken tenders and fries that perfect extra crunch without drowning them in oil.

One of my favorite features is the shake notification. It beeps halfway through cooking to remind me to shake the basket—no more unevenly cooked food! And cleanup? A breeze. The nonstick basket goes straight into the dishwasher, and the matte-black exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth.

I was worried about it getting too hot on my countertop, but the bottom stays cool to the touch. Plus, it’s so much faster than heating up my oven—I use it almost daily for everything from veggies to reheating leftovers (hello, crispy pizza!).

If you’re on the fence about getting an air fryer, trust me: this one’s worth every penny. It’s quiet, efficient, and makes healthier versions of all my favorite fried foods. Two thumbs up from this home chef!
