   The media could not be loaded. I spent a lot of time looking at air fryer models before I settled on this one. I've used it multiple times now and feel I can fairly review it. I've tried it for hashbrowns, chicken wings, eggs, fries, etc all with great results.
   Things to consider: this contains two smaller baskets each 3 qt for 6 qt capacity total. If you're looking for cooking really large quantities at once you may want to look into a larger model. For my family, this is fine. You should also remember not to use cooking spray in the baskets but can either brush on a bit of cooking oil or use oil from a mister, just don't use the aerosol spray cans.
   Pros: the high fry function is available the last 2 minutes of cooking time and helps to really crisp whatever you have cooking. The two baskets are convenient because they can operate independently on their own timers and temps or you can sync them. I'll sync them when I'm cooking the same thing in each side. There is a light that comes on and a beep halfway through cooking to remind you to shake them (or flip whatever items you have in). You can mute the beeps if you don't like the sound. I did not have trouble hearing the beeps and am moderately hearing impaired. Everyone is different, however. The baskets are also very easy to clean.
   So far I have found everything I cooked came out crispy on the outside and not at all dried out on the inside (which was a real issue we had with our air fryer oven). I'd definitely recommend this air fryer to anyone. It was a great value for the money.
   As a side note, it did have a bit of a smell the first time I ran it but I ran it empty for a few mins after washing the baskets and the smell dissipated quickly and wasn't a problem since.

   The media could not be loaded. This is what I've been looking for. What they dont show you and should, is the inside where the baskets sit. The burner coils have a cover for easy cleaning, there's a divider between the baskets, so if you only use one side that's the only side that gets dirty plus it keeps the flavors on that side without mixing in with the other side. Very satisfied with the size of the baskets. Over all seems to be great, I'll have to get back with you in a couple months on wear and cooking stats.

   Update: I hated to do it but looking closer at the container, I returned it. The front top bezel was scratched up and looked warn. Cosmic only, I like new to look new…but over all this is a great working product, easy to use, easy to clean, and works really well. Who knows, after tying different ones and if I don't like them, I will come back to this if I can overlook cosmic scratches. They sent me a replacement and it was just as bad cosmetically.

   Product Summary Video – August 11, 2025

   Previously I had WOOTed a 6qt (maybe still a Chefman) and was learning and liking. That ended up at the cabin. Half because I forgot to packit and half because quick cooking there is nice sometimes.

   So I was pondering a double basket to say cook a protein and a veggie.

   I am Keto – so I cannot comment on fries – but I cook a lot of proteins and veggies in this. I cook steaks, burgers, sausage dogs, buns, veggies, etc in this. So don't shy away from an air fryer like I did if you are Keto. These are (no longer) a gimmick and are great and I'm using my oven and outdoor grill less and less.

   I love the sync-finish button. If you know your times then you'll finish very well. For example hot dogs (more for my son – but hmm think sausage dog and I'm there. One basket 4-6 minutes for the dogs and other basket two minutes for the buns (Yes they come out great!) Sync finish and it all comes out ready to serve.

   I did notice this version has no actual air input/output vents in the baskets (the bottom is raised – but no air input there – so all air must come from the top. So I don't know how this will do with more than one layer.

   I am single but I think this would be fine for a couple. For example a 10 oz ribeye fit in the basket and cooked fine (does need flipping) and the veggies on the other side. Enough for two for sure.

   Notes:

   I really thought I would strongly miss a knob for time and temp. But (1) Temp is almost *always* 400 😉 and (2) Time, well it starts at 10 minutes and decrements by two. So while I'd still like a knob – I am not hating this like I thought I would. And there is a +2 minute button to tack on the end if needed.

   This does not have any food presets. Probably for the better as they're often not spot on. But easy to look up and/or I have the Momo & Nashi fridge magnet page tabbed guide (on AZP)

   You CAN turn the beeping off contrary to some complaints.

   I'm not sure the liner coating is as durable as my original, more expensive, Chefman 6q

   I don't – yet – know how this will do with more than a single layer. Hmm. That calls for a basket of wings. I'm confident I'll need to shake/mix – but we'll see (due to only top down air circ.

   The window is nice – you can see some progress – but I haven't used it enough to see how long a nice clear window lasts or is cleanable reasonably.

   The "light" is the heating element – so it will go on and off as it heats. So just know there is no constant light.

   This should be 3 or more inches from the wall. Not critical – but most circulation is from the bottom of the unit (unit's circulation) so I don't want to damage my wallpaper.

   I really like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725GYNG6 for this. As a set of two – the unit sets nicely on one – just right. The 2nd lives on top – but when I'm using the unit – it goes in front and so I can pull baskets and deal with them without the hot basket directly on the counter top. Also not bad for drying. Then it goes back on top. I do not buy many Amazon brands as they are often substandard – but these are spot on and economical and as 2 pieces I retain some flex on the counter top.

   For cleaning I really, really like, https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Platinum-Powerwash-Starter-Bundle/dp/B082DLGV3F Dawn Powerwash. My dishwasher is good enough to not need it – but it makes really quick spray and hot water hose/rinse immediate clean up of basket very nice.

   I'm not paid nor received anything. I do like to review things I really like.

   Llevo ya un año con ella y no ha fallado en nada por el precio está bien , pero si subes el presupuesto un poco más conviene una con capacidad mayor si cocinas para más personas
