One lid that pressure cooks and air fries sounds convenient, but experts found the air frying mediocre and awkward, and Amazon owners report lids sticking and parts breaking, with the worst low-star share here.
Top complaints
- Lid sticks, parts break
Amazon's summary says the lid gets stuck and won't open properly, parts break during use, and owners find it not worth the money. Wirecutter worried about its non-removable sealing ring and reports of the lid jamming.
- Mediocre, awkward air frying
Serious Eats had a quarter of the fries and a third of the Brussels sprouts fall off the loose rack, with no easy way to shake food. Wirecutter calls it unremarkable as an air fryer, and Tom's Guide says it doesn't perform like a typical air fryer. Amazon owners say the air fryer side doesn't work well.
- Huge, heavy, exposed heating element
Serious Eats measured 24 lb and 23 inches tall with the lid open, and disliked the exposed heating element pointing at you when you stir. Wirecutter says the hinged lid makes countertop placement tricky.
What owners love
- Pressure side works reliably
Amazon's summary says the pressure cooking side works reliably.
- Cook-then-crisp in one pot
Wirecutter says it is convenient for cooking then browning dishes. Tom's Guide suggests steaming then roasting a chicken or crisping pasta tops.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): Too expensive for what it does: missing staple presets, an unremarkable air fryer, a tricky hinged lid, and durability worries.
- Serious Eats: Air fries decently but less conveniently than a basket fryer; the exposed heating element is a safety concern. Get a standalone air fryer instead.
- Tom's Guide: Also tested: worth considering for steam-then-roast dishes, but lifting out the basket is a nightmare.
