This brand of air fryer was recommended by a friend. The thing that sold me on this air fryer was the warranty.  I was unsure as to whether I wanted to buy a new air fryer because I had bought a different brand of air fryer and it didn’t work well and it was very hard to clean. I am very pleased with this purchase. I use it every day! It is easy to use, and so far everything I’ve made in it has turned out perfectly. I’ve made frozen onion rings, spring rolls, and French fries, and they have been crispy, crunchy, and perfectly cooked. I’ve also cooked fresh veggies, and they have been delicious too. It is quick and easy to clean the air fryer. Best of all, this company stands behind their product. My friend had to return hers after a year, and she was sent a new one without a problem. This is my second product from this company (I also have a 25 year old food processor), and I will definitely be purchasing more Cuisanart products in the future!
