Let me start by saying this little 5qt air fryer has become my go-to for quick meals. That transparent window? Genius. I can actually watch my fries turn golden without constantly pulling out the basket—no more guessing games!

The size is perfect for my tiny apartment kitchen. It fits snugly on my counter but still handles enough food for me and my roommate (we've stuffed it with 18 shrimp or 8 chicken thighs easily). The non-stick basket and included plates make cleanup shockingly easy—just a quick wipe or toss in the dishwasher.

I use the preset buttons daily (especially 'reheat' for leftovers), but love that I can tweak temps too. Though fair warning: the first time I reheated bread, it came out like a crouton—had to halve the default time. The basket sometimes sticks when closing, but a firm push does the trick.

After months of use, it's still going strong. No weird smells (unlike some reviews mentioned), and that pause-drawer feature saved me when I forgot to shake my sweet potato fries mid-cook. For $90? Totally worth counter space.
