>I’ve heard mixed reviews on them as a whole, but there are so many brands making them now it’s hard to know which one to go for

There are mixed reviews on a lot of them, IMO, because the excel at frying some things but not others. I've had one for six months and my take is this:

• They're poor at frying foods that have been batter-dipped.
• They're very good at frying foods that have been breaded or are naked.
• They're incredible at cooking frozen fried foods.

So if you buy one because you do a lot of frozen french fries and want to make them faster and better, you'll think an air fryer is the greatest thing ever made. If you buy one because you want to make Southern buttermilk fried chicken without dealing with all the oil, you're going to be very disappointed.

The best ones are the ones that look like toaster ovens and they may be called convection ovens instead of air fryers (basically the same thing) The square ones that have a pull-out drawer are also very good and a little more budget friendly. Avoid the ones that are round or that brag about being 5/6/7/8/9/10-in-one devices. IMO the more things an appliance brags about being able to do, the fewer of them it does well. Also, don't get the ones that look like stand mixers with glass bowls. You'll see what I mean.

I have this one and I'm pretty satisfied.

I rewarded myself with an air fryer too! And only 3 months later, I can’t imagine life without it!

I really toiled over what to get, but I was already following someone on YouTube and liked her recipes. I felt it would be so easy to get the same one as her so I could easily follow her recipes.

If interested, you can look at YouTube for “Air Fryer Kathy” and she’ll come up (Her profile is Fabulessly Frugal, spelled with two s’s). She even has a link you can follow through to Amazon, so that’s what I did. She just has so much useful info.

You will also need oil sprayers. I got the Mistifi brand. They’re pricy, but I’ve had sprayers in the past that leaked, got sticky, or just didn’t work and all ended up in the trash. These are amazing and I like how they spray.

Why I love it:

*They inner liner is nonstick. I did order the paper parchment sheets, but honestly Inever use them, even for cheese.

*It’s SQUARE. Many are round and I like making open face sandwiches.

*The size says extra large but it’s just a good normal size. I can make a nice open faced sandwich in here.

*It has a shake reminder that will beep half way through if you push the shake button.

*I feel like it’s very compact for what it is. It fits so nicely under my cupboards, then I slide it forward and plug it in to use it. Very light and easy.

*Some of the off brands had issues with catching on fire. This was alarming, so I was set on getting a trusted name brand. Kathy has an unboxing video on how to set it up and clean it before your first use. I followed that.

It's when you use an air fryer to cook just about anything. An air fryer is a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods and gets the food extra crispy through the use of hot air.

Here's one that I got back in the spring and I absolutely swear by it:

Hope this helps! :)

I just ordered the newer model shown on that Amazon listing. Should I have stuck with the older one? I am not really sure of the difference and assume newer means better.
