We purchased this air fryer to replace a smaller, cheaper one. Originally was going for the Ninja foodi, but after reading reviews, decided on this one. For the price vs the ninja, its worth it. This particular model may not do everything the ninja will, but does much more than our old one and at half the price!! So far everything we have cooked in the Gowise has turned out perfect, and love the recipes in the cook book that comes with it. Best of all, the Gowise fryer is made in USA, and the other in china. Enough said!!!!
