Okay, being as though I've never used an air fryer before.. As well as this being a new appliance/gadget I'm general.. It took a little getting used to for me. But overall it is easy to use. It's super convenient and offers so many possibilities in one product! You can make tasty French fries with great texture, you can make a pot roast, mac & cheese, chili, cook a cheesecake, lasagna, I can't put enough emphasis on the amount of options you get with this. It saves time, energy, money, etc. This has become an appliance that gets used frequently in my home. Whether you want to make something where you can "set it and forget it", want to try to fry foods using less oil, and/or you want so many options in one, I suggest you invest in this bad boy!
