My little air fryer.
I bought this small unit for myself cooking for one and I love it. Everything I’ve cooked has been great. That it’s so easy to clean is a bonus.

Very quiet
A few years ago I had a different brand and it was so loud I gave it to my son. Decided to try this one after reading reviews glad I did. Very little sound

Small and mighty air fryer
This air fryer is quite versatile and uses less power than my older one. Food gets crispy and fast and the grease does not bake on due to the ceramic coat. I did more things with it like making Friterra and taquitoes besides the usual wings and french fries. I really like the glass window that I can check on the food. The coil and blades on the top have more space for access and each night I turn it over and wipe the area with Dawn Power wash and some small brushes. The basket is light to handle. I am pretty happy with this air fryer.

Disappointed
Great size but it won't even cook one average sized potato to make fries, I had to add much more time and even then they did not come out well.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2.6‑qt Basket Air Fryer (model AIR‑80), and we’re glad to hear the size worked well for your needs. For cooking potatoes or fries, we recommend cutting them into evenly sized pieces, lightly coating with oil, avoiding overcrowding the basket, and shaking or turning them halfway through cooking, as these steps can significantly impact results. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve performance and features in future models.

A solid performer
This is a solid appliance and the bake and roast functions are great with something this size. The only issue is the vented plate doesn't sit evenly in the basket, so the food can tilt if you're not careful.

Small But Awesome!
I am Very pleased with my new 2.6 quart Cuisinart air fryer! I had a large Ninja one before and although smaller this one works just as well as that one. I love that I can easily store it in a cabinet. The preset settings on it are very helpful. The quality of tube cooking is very good.

Nice size, but the square basket
It is a nice size to leave out on a counter top, but the square shape of the basket makes using paper liners which are round difficult to use.

Great small air fryer
perfect size for empty nesters. It's small, takes up little counter top or storage space. Works extremely well and has the added benefit of a viewing window. easy to clean and the fry basket can go in the dishwasher. This is the air fryer I was waiting for!

Perfect for my kitchen 😁
The right size for me. Works great so far . Fits my kitchen, size and color. Air fryer is easy to clean. I think it is a great name product. It was packaged in a double box and no damage to the box or product. I am very pleased to get started with cooking and learning how to cook in this extremely easy to use product.

My Cuisinart Eexperiences
I always look for Cuisinart products when purchasing my kitchen appliances! I have a Cuisinart toaster/oven that must be over 15 years old and I can’t bear to replace it! My new Air Fryer has quickly become a new favorite. Easy to use and clean! Cuisinart has yet to disappoint me.
