My wife originally purchased a non name brand air-fryer oven for me for the holidays, but it didn't cook easily and was difficult to operate, set time, etc. After reading some reviews on the KitchenAid, we decided to give it a shot since there was a big sale on it online plus a coupon code. So far, it is heads and tails above the original no-name unit we purchased. Very easy to operate and easier to clean, and its bigger. Cooks evenly so far as well!
