I'm not sure if anyone has one, but QVC has a special today for $89.95 - 5.3 quart.
I don't fry all that much, but am intrigued by Air Fryers and mentioned to DH I would get one if Costco or Sam's had them. I just ordered the red one. I figure I can return it if I don't like it.
Does anyone have one and what are your thoughts?

I'm still wondering if i "need" an instant pot, since I have 2 slow cookers and a pressure cooker.
It sounds like it would make much less mess, which is what I object to with deep frying (and wasting all that oil). Hope some people reply!

I'll review once it arrives and I get to use it. |

I received it yesterday and plan to using it today. I think I'm going to make some chicken wings since I never make them and they should be simple enough.

So I used it and made some chicken wings. I have to say I was really impressed and they tasted really good. DH never like homemade wings before since I made them in the oven. These were crispy and delicious. I did the wings in two batches since I didn't want to over load. The last couple of minutes of the second batch, I put the first batch in again and this really worked well. The cleaning is really easy and the appliance isn't too noisy either.
Not sure what I'll make next in it, but looking forward to using it again.

Since the wings, I've made fries (had a bag of frozen ones to use up), chicken thighs, and roasted potatoes. All were excellent since nothing ever sits in oil or grease. The potatoes were so good since they crisped up and evenly done in about 20 minutes. I plan on trying a dessert in there, such as an apple crisp.
I have to say that this is a wonderful appliance for anyone who may need a second oven on occasion. I have double ovens, but I'd consider buying another air fryer.

I just saw a toaster-oven type that is air frying.
Yes, do you still like it?
