    East to use

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made some fish pretty easily. I also made some sweet potatoes fries but forgot to take the pictures for that. This air fry is actually pretty simple to use. I like that. It’s pretty straightforward. The size is really good. It fits anywhere. It’s easy to clean. It won’t take out much space and it will cook your food to the right temperature.

    Great value air fryer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small, compact, and easy to carry- this air fryer is everything to my family. It can cook up completely frozen meals in minutes, reheat pizza to a perfect crispy texture in actual seconds, all while being dishwasher friendly and easy to store.

    Compact

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my favorite appliances to use is an air fryer! It’s user friendly and doesn’t take up too much time. However with this one my only complaints were the size and how there’s no setting control for the temperature. It worked well but it would be better for a person who’s only making food for themselves.

    Decent air fryer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a decent air fryer which is very compact and great for small kitchens. Keep in mind that since it’s small, it’s not ideal for larger households. It’s easy to use and relatively easy to clean but I recommend getting a liner.

    Adjustable timer air fryer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow I love it, it’s so easy to set up comes with a manual, very safe. It also comes with the amount of time needed for what you’re going to air fry. Very easy to clean up & use again, minimum time needed to finish up cooking your food. It looks very good anywhere it’s placed in my kitchen you can even store it away & bring it out with no hassle, very durable too.

    Works Well! Great bang 4 buck

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well working and good quality air fryer! The product itself is light which makes it easy to bring up and down from cabinets to counter. The product is easy to use and works well. I tried cooking chicken strips inside the fryer! I could fit six relatively large strips with extra room for the foil and to make sure they didn’t stick together. Overall, I love this product and am excited to keep using it in the future.

    I love this air fryer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air fryer has become my go to small appliance. It has a permanent spot on my countertop in my kitchen and gets used daily! It’s not as big as some others I’ve seen but it works great for me and my family (6 people in one household). The basket is deep but not so deep that you need to leave your food in longer, and we’ve been using liners bought at our local grocery store with no problem. The liners help to keep it clean but a simple wash and air dry after every use is all you really need. It’s a very simple appliance to use, just turn the knob to a desired length of time and wait for the bell to ding. That being said, the instructions that came in the box make it seem like the temperature is adjustable and it’s not. I mean, technically if you put something in for 2 minutes versus 20, the one that stayed in longer would be hotter, but there’s no dial or digital input to indicate the temperature you want. I thought that was going to bother me more than it did. Turns out my ADHD was grateful to have one less decision to make. It heats everything pretty quickly and very evenly anyway and has time recommendations printed on top and in the instructions booklet so it’s easy to “set it and forget it.” Some foods will need to be shaken up about halfway through, but that’s not terribly inconvenient and not exclusive to this machine either. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the instructions were initially confusing but once you familiarize yourself with using it, they make more sense. And the other reason being that I’ve noticed some of the white paint used on top (food and recommended cook times) and around the timer knob has started to smear and wipe off. I’m unsure if this is due to heavy usage or something else, but it seems awfully early to show that much wear and tear regardless. Anyway, it’s still my favorite air fryer I’ve ever used and it’s not even the only one we have in the house; I was very impressed and I’ll probably buy another as a gift for my nephew heading off to college.

    Perfect size!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air fryer is amazing and such a great size. The timer is easy to use and the top has a cheat sheet for how long it should take. It is easy to clean and and doesn’t have a bad small while cooking. The cord is a good length. Excited to see what else I can make in this!

    Great for singles

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact air fryer. This is great for single servings or small kitchens with limited storage space. It light and easy to use. The top has some preset recommendations for different foods which makes it easy to remember and use. You cannot set a temperature, which is the only negative, but if you keep an eye on your timer, it’s not too bad. There’s no assembly needed. I was able to cut up 2 potatoes and air fryer them with no issues. They crisped up nicely. For what it is and its size, it’s a good appliance to have if you don’t want anything pricey or bulky. Clean up is also really easy. The basket and insert come off easily and washing them with soap and water was enough. Nothing really stuck to the basket but if it did, I think a presoak would lift those bits off. The power cord is not that long so this would have to be relatively close to an outlet to plug in and use.

    Works well, but there is a learning curve to figur

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been thinking about purchasing an air fryer recently and I was thrilled to receive this from Kitchen Elite. I tried cooking both fresh and frozen vegetables and I thought this did a pretty good job. Since this does not have a temperature setting and only uses a timer, I find the times given in recipes to be a bit off and you need to watch whatever you are cooking closely so food does not get overdone. My potatoes and onions needed less time and extra oil to keep them from getting chewy than what most recipes claim. My frozen onion rings were also a bit overdone. I did find it easy to pull out the basket to shake items to redistribute while cooking and it starts back up once the basket is put back into place. This basket is also easy to clean and the unit is lightweight and portable. The 2.5 qt size is perfect for people who live alone or do not need to cook a lot at once. This does have a ticking timer, which I do not enjoy listening to, but the unit itself is not too noisy. I think this will be very useful once I learn how long I should expect something to cook.

    Convenience of cooking fast

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Air fryer is a perfect size for someone who’s single. Operation and controls and set up or easy for use. Food smell great once cooked! Would recommend to anyone who would like to cook quickly. Love the convenience!

    Just plug and go

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The description of the Kitchen Elite air fryer says it has adjustable temperature control. However, I only saw a dial for the timer. As such, I was skeptical that my food would cook properly. However, my chicken wings turned out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Also, the air fryer didn’t smoke up my kitchen or make a lot of noise, both of which I have experienced with a previous air fryer. I will be trying pizza rolls next!

    Small but mighty

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great option for someone looking for a compact air fryer that gets the job done. It’s more simple with only the timer, but it works great. Definitely small, so likely best for one person rather than a family.
