5.0 out of 5 stars Kitchen essential

Fries I always do them in this and get a perfect crisp every time. Cleaning is very simple. The keep warm function is easy to use as well making sure my pie stays warm while my chips are finishing. The only issue I find is toasting bread and sandwiches in the air fryer isn't as good as the George foreman and the bottom doesn't get as crisp as the top.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic air fryer.

G.O. · 16 May 2025

I wanted an air fryer with a larger capacity than the air fryers I already own and this product does the job. Simple to operate and so far a joy to use with fantastic results ! Great value and highly recommended.

excellent item, better than conventional oven, quicker easier and cleaner

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use.

Works well, easy to use.Could come with some liners. Or with details of size and shape of liners that best work with the unit. And where they are available from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replaced my old one with this pfas free model and its great!

S. · 9 May 2025

I got this to replace my old air fryer as I am making more conscious kitchen purchases around pfas. Love that this one looks smart and is pfas free. Is a great spacious size and love that I can cook two things in the two drawers. Really easy to use too.And even for a spacious 2 drawer doesn't take up loads of room!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cooks food beautifully

A.C. · 10 May 2025

The media could not be loaded. It's best to program both sides of the fryer at the same time. The back doesn't heat up to much. Cooks food beautifully, with a lot of different options. It's not to complicated. The beep to tell you to shake your food or that the foods finished is very quiet, so you have to keep checking . It's also quite a big chunky appliance

1.0 out of 5 stars Very limited functionality

A.W. · 21 May 2025

Disappointing lack of functionality.There are some strange limitations to this machine. You cannot program it if both the drawers aren’t fully in. Seems basic but can be frustrating when you’re multitasking. Also, machine will stop if one side is opened so does t really cook each side independently. Cannot increase the cooking time during cooking. Cannot turn off the keep warm function so the machine does not turn off at the end of a cooking cycle which I often used on a previous machine. Would not recommend this frier based on its limited programming but no complaints on the actual food cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Of the 7 air fryers I've had in the past four years, this one is my favourite and should last well.

C.R. · 16 April 2025

So I've had this a couple of weeks now and used it a few times. They kept sending me emails saying this was newly released, and as one of my air fryers got recalled, I thought, it must be a sign! So I ordered it, at an amazing price too. I have had seven air fryers so far (11L, 7L, 4L, 3.4L, 12L, 8L dual, 8L), this beats my newest Ninja combi, which is so phaffy and complicated, it is an expensive item gathering dust on the shelf.It looks quality, and the digital controls are very easy to use. The baskets are a little more robust than some I've used, feels like these will last a while, unlike a couple of air fryers - which flunked out due to the non-stick wearing out so quick, that is just not planet-friendly, in fact negligent on the part of the manufacturers!The XXL is uber easy to clean thanks to the quality non-stick coating, really feels different to my other air fryers, more like the expensive non stick you find on the Ninjas.Took me a couple of mealtimes to get the hang of its heat - all these air fryers are a bit different - my favourite results so far has been boiled potatoes, cooled, quartered and then air fried for 15 mins, delicious - crisp - zero fat, just salt. Chicken wings, fat sausages, thin sausages, burgers, bread rolls, all came out great.It is the quiestest I have had so far.I do miss having windows, but, hey ho, you can't have everything! (Maybe the next one they bring out will have windows, I'll be buying one of those too!)I have found it a permanent spot on my worktop, and it will be used twice a week (we have pretty regimented eating habits!). Haven't used my regular Neff oven for months now - who wants to fire up a great big oven and 5000W when you can use one of these things, not me.Overall, I can't find anything negative, very easy to recommend.

Does everything we hoped it would do, sometimes even better. We love it!

After using this unit for a few weeks I have to assume that there were either a large number of defective products sent out (quite unusual for Cuisinart), or that some people have unrealistic expectations of a toaster oven/air fryer.Disclaimer: I've always had toaster ovens as a kitchen accessory and have had to learn each one of their quirks. This one has fewer than many I've owned. That said, it cooks fast. Very fast. Where with my previous one you had to bump the temp about 25 degrees more than you thought needed and could walk away from it, this one cooks in much less than the time expected and you need to watch it carefully. That should change as we learn how it performs. It seems best to fade back a bit from the recommended times and temps in their manual and recipe book. This thing is powerful.My favorite dish so far is chicken wing drumettes. I've always cooked my famous buffalo wings in a peanut oil deep-fryer, then dip them in sauce and dry them for a bit in the oven. Set this at 400 on air-fry, cook for 10 minutes, flip them over and cook for 10 more and they honestly look like I just pulled them out of my fryer. My wife swears they are even better. Traitor!Garlic toast and English muffins seem to crisp up faster and retain inside moistness better than any toaster oven I've ever used. Frozen french fries and shrimp are a breeze. Tonight she did some fresh zucchini wedges that I was sure were going to be boring and they turned out awesome.Long story short, we love it so far and look forward to experimenting with it for years to come. We've had great luck with Cuisinart appliances over the years and in the few times we had problems with them, their customer service people have bent over backwards to help us and always treated us fairly.Love it and if it blew up tomorrow, I'd buy it again.

Fun and durable

This is my fourth year using this device, and it is still working great. I have used it most nights for cooking and have had no issues at all. The toast timer is nice on it, too. It makes a noise that's a nice BPM, and if you like dancing and rhythm, it makes waiting for your toast fun.

I've had it for a couple years now and I love it!

First of all, it is largish for a toaster oven, but I have a short piece of countertop between the stove and the pantry closet that was basically wasted space, and it fits perfectly there. Measure and make sure you have the room for it. It has to be away from the wall as the fan is in the back and it needs the space. I use it almost every day and love it. I use the air bake and air fry functions mostly, and they both work well. The temperature dial is not accurate so figure out how it heats and adjust accordingly; I find mine to be about 30 degrees hotter than the dial says. I have baked bars and desserts in the oven and had them turn out fine as long as I keep an eye on them and rotate as needed. I bake potatoes and small hotdishes that turn out well. I don't use it for regular toast a lot but I like the ease of making garlic toast, both frozen and homemade. It is very good at heating up leftover pizza and french fries, much more appealing than the microwave. Overall, a very good choice.

Excellence qualite

Me gustó mucho

A. · 10 January 2025

Funciona bien y es fácil de limpiar. Quizás el único pero que le puedo poner es el cable para conectarlo esta muy corto.
