Bought this because I saw that it reaches 500 degrees unlike other air fryers that top out at 360-375... But I was happily amazed that not only did it reach higher temps it did a FAR superior job on cooking everything!!! I was able to cook a Ribeye steak to perfection! Nice crust on the outside and perfect medium rare pink inside!!! As well as one of my main frustrating issues with other air fryers previously... I was able to make 3 perfect cooked baked potatoes at one time whereas I had killed other fryers trying to cook just one and with terrible results! And this is the first time I was able to actually make blueberry muffins that tasted as good as they did in a conventional oven!!! Love this Fryer!!!!
