Package was misleading, thought this would be too heavy to lift, but it wasn’t, have only used it once to test it out , to test cooking times. Bigger than I thought, but not a problem, fits on counter nicely, you have to check your food and adjust temperatures so you get your food the way you want, example , directions for french fries, use basket, 400 , 20 minutes, i used rack, (with drip pan under) used book for first batch, hard, but pretty. Second batch i put on 15 minutes , started at 400, then turned down to 150 , stopped with about 7 minutes to go, perfect fries, as with anything its trial and error, but i think im going to enjoy this, so far, so good, 5 stars
