There are some advantages to this type of AirFryer over the traditional large, dome-shaped kind. First, this appliance looks good on the counter top and blends nicely with most kitchen decor. There is no pull out basket that eventually has to be replaced due to chipped paint and screws that do not stay tight. The pull out tray with wire mesh topper can even be used to toast bread, so that means one less appliance needed on the kitchen counter top. So far, I have had very good experiences with cooking and reheating food in this fryer and it is very easy to clean. The construction seems a bit "light weight" for lack of a better description - maybe a little on the flimsy side but hopefully it will hold up to many years of use.
