This is a decent sized little fryer for a small family or an individual. It will cook two servings of fries in one go. It only has one temp setting (400), so it's not as versatile as some air fryers, but a lot of foods default at 400. The controls are incredibly zimple- just a knob that you turn to your desired time. It only goes up to 30 minutes, and if you accidentally overset the time, it's a bit tough switching it lower. The fans in this one are incredibly quiet. So quiet that at first I was convinced it wasn't working. It does get a little louder when. it reaches full steam. The timer doesn't stop when you open the basket
