A trendy glass, nonstick-free air fryer that crisps well and doubles as meal-prep storage, but it costs about twice as much as an equally good basket fryer and can cook unevenly in the big bowl.

Top complaints

  • Uneven cooking in the large bowl

    Tom's Guide lists uneven cooking in the larger container as a con. Several low-star Walmart reviews say chicken and potatoes stayed underdone and food needs constant turning because heat comes only from the top.

  • Expensive for what it does

    Tom's Guide says you can get an equally good air fryer for half the price if you don't mind nonstick baskets. Value for money is a mixed aspect in Amazon's review summary.

  • Fiddly to slide bowls onto the base

    Serious Eats found the glass bowls fiddly to fit onto the base. Walmart reviewers say the bowls don't seat easily and the unit can slide on the counter when you pull a bowl out.

What owners love

Good for
  • Avoiding nonstick coatings
  • Meal prep (the glass bowls double as storage)
  • Watching food through clear glass

Scores (tap for why)

  • Crispiness3.5
    Why 3.5?Crisp in Serious Eats tests, but Tom's Guide and Walmart owners report uneven results in the large bowl.
  • Capacity3.5
    Why 3.5?Comes with 6 qt and 2.5 qt glass containers (Serious Eats); Amazon shoppers say the 6 qt bowl fits large cuts.
  • Ease of use3.0
    Why 3.0?Simple dial, but the bowls are fiddly to attach (Serious Eats) and the unit can slide when you remove a bowl (Walmart).
  • Easy cleaning4.5
    Why 4.5?Dishwasher-friendly glass with no nonstick coating to wear out; ease of cleaning is a positive aspect on Amazon.
  • Quietness2.5
    Why 2.5?Tom's Guide measured 72 dB, the same as the loud Ninja AF141.
  • Build & durability3.0
    Why 3.0?Tom's Guide says it looks and feels premium, but a few Walmart owners report the bowl not connecting or the unit no longer recognizing the basket.

What experts say

  • Serious Eats: Editor favorite that made crackly fries and wings with no preheat; the con is fiddly bowls that must be angled just right to slide in.
  • Tom's Guide: 4-star meal-prep marvel, but expensive and uneven in the larger container; measured 72 dB.
