This air-fryer works well for me so far. I have used it for full meals and snacks with very good results. it is extremely large and would be great for a big family. I would recommend it because it was well priced. I have to say that the instructions are pretty useless. I did a lot of trial and error to figure this thing out. Went to their web site and got zero information. I went to other similar fryer web sites to see what their instruction manuals said and got some useful information. There were some parts to the fryer that I had no idea what they were or how to use them as there was no mention of them in the instructions. If you have the time to spend figuring this fryer out you will enjoy it.
