Very big!
This is my first air fryer and it took me a bit to get used to it. I love the big basket, as a family of 5 it was great to be able to fit so much food in it at once. It cooked the food well, but the "timer" wasn't very accurate. I also had a hard time taking the basket in and out of the fryer. It would get stuck sometimes and not fully close. It takes a little bit to get it on the right track and able to close correctly. All in all it is a great product and easy to use. My twelve year old loves that he can heat up his own pizza rolls!

Needs a few improvements...
I went into using this air fryer having zero experience with this type of product, so I wanted to use it awhile and 'get comfortable' with it before writing my review. The instructions are easy to follow to get the thing up and running, but some experience with using an actual oven in regard to cook times and temperature would be helpful; as I went along, I found that the times & temps indicated needed a little tweaking on my part here and there to achieve the desired results. I also noticed that food in the basket positioned closest to the back of the unit tends to cook faster, so you may want to rotate items from front to back in addition to flipping over when that is called for. Actually, I did it whether it was called for or not, and things turned out fine. Pros and cons are as follows: PROS: It's ready to use almost instantaneously (no preheating is needed) - just prep your food in the basket, slide it shut, set your time and temp, and you're off to the races. You can also cook raw meat from frozen, just add a little extra cook time (with an extra flip/rotate in the middle of that) onto the time needed for something fresh. It's also very quiet - the fan just makes a gentle whirrrr sound as it cooks. And while the outside gets hot, I was still able to place my hand comfortably on top to steady the unit while removing/replacing the hot basket. CONS: I'm not a fan of the 'knob' system for the timer, or especially the thermostat, which has far too vague temperature selections: you have a span of numbers with a single dot between each - the problem is that the temperature span between each number is inconsistent; for some pairs, it's 20, some 30, some even 40 - for a complete novice in the kitchen, this will be problematic, especially because many of the called-for temps in both the book *and* printed on the outside of the machine do not appear on the grid. I think a digital display would be much easier to use. Also, the overall basket/insert/machine combo seems to have a cheap build quality; the basket does not slide in and out very smoothly; the nonstick surfaces feel like they may not last in the long run, but the worst is the insert for the basket: it doesn't seem to fit properly, and does not want to stay level; the 4 little rubber 'bumpers' are too big for the tabs they cover, as they kept slipping off, which if lost, would scratch up the nonstick interior of the basket in no time at all. After all is said and done, this air fryer seems like something probably best used for quick, uncomplicated snacks (ie: chicken nuggets, french fries, etc) rather than actual meals.

Tasted baked.
I have been using the air fryer for almost a month. I have cooked several different kinds of foods using the air fryer. I was not impressed. The food tasted baked instead of fried. I cooked french fries the first time using it. The first batch, I didn’t use any oil. Tased very bland. The 2nd batch I added 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Adding the oil did help with the taste. I have cooked chicken, French fries, egg rolls, wings, tater tots and potatoes just to name a few. Everything tasted baked to me. I would not recommend this air fryer.

Great Features!
I am so happy I received the Elite Platinum air fryer. It's a great size for a family and very easy to understand how to use it. If you can work a oven you will be able to use this with no problems. The food comes out delicious without any added oil. Clean up is easy you just give it a quick wash in the sink wipe off the fryer and your ready to use the next time. I cook something in it daily. I highly recommend this product.

Delicious!
This is the first air fryer we have ever owned in our household. The first thing we made with it was fried pickles. I love how much space the air fryer has inside. The design is sleek and the controls make it easy to use. I love that we can fry foods without oil. The process was not difficult and the appliance was easy to clean when finished. We can't wait to try out different recipes in this new household staple. I have no complaints about this appliance.

Make delicious food with this air fryer
This is a great air fryer for a family of 4. The front buttons on this are not digital; instead there is a turn dial to set the temp and cook time which actually makes things easy in my opinion. So far I've only cooked chicken and tater tots in it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The tater tots came out tasting restaurant quality; way better than baking them in an oven! Fairly easy to clean which is nice. I think it'll be great for game-day finger foods; wings, fries, tots, etc. My only complaint is it isn't exactly intuitive to use, but perhaps that's because the air fryer trend is new while I've been cooking with stoves, ovens, and grills for years. Overall, impressed with the way it cooks and will definitely use it more moving forward.

Get kitchen addition
This airfryer was right on time with the new year and our families healthy eating goals. I was super excited to recieve this item. This item has only one major flaw. The first few time you use it the food tastes like plastic. Like the plastic smell infuses the food. However after the third use it phased out. I read somewhere that if you cure it so to speak, you can avoid that issue. Theres also a learning curve. Too much moisture or not cooking long enough will not garner that crispy texture we all desire. It can also he bigger. I usually have to cook in 2 rounds to feed a family of 4. But it's good for what it is.
