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.

Crisper Plate
The air fryer seems to prepare food well enough. However, the Crisper Plate doesn't stay in place while cooking. While air frying, it rises up on one side or the other and ends up lopsided (raised from the bottom on the air fryer.) The rubber corners don't hold the plate in place while cooking.
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 2 months ago
Thank you for sharing your feedback — we’re glad to hear the air fryer is cooking well, though we’re sorry to learn about the crisper plate concern. The crisper plate should sit securely on all four rubber feet, and we recommend confirming the feet are fully attached and that the plate is firmly pressed into position before use, as well as avoiding overfilling which can shift airflow and movement. If the rubber corners appear loose or the plate continues to rise during cooking, our team would be happy to review replacement options under ticket #8900523066. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 so we can further assist and ensure your Cuisinart performs as intended.

2.6 qt air fryer
In only a few weeks the air fryer has proved useful. Potatoes are no longer just mashed or baked. Meat recipes endless and easy to make without recipes with basic method: rub with spices and a bit of oil, and air fry for 10-20 minutes. So easy to clean and safe to work with.

Perfect for me.
Love it, I use it for more than air frying. I didn’t like the raised handle in the middle of the crisper tray so I had to use my dremel to cut it off and sand the edges. Even with that, I give it 5 stars as it’s perfect for me as a single person.

I really like the size, it doesn't take up too much counter space. It's simple to use, cooked salmon is fabulous and cleanup is very easy.

Great for one person
This is my first air fryer and I am widow. It’s the perfect size for one person- 2.6 quart. I’m learning more about it every time I use it. It’s super easy to clean also. I will probably invest in an air fryer cookbook for one to expand my cooking choices.

Perfect for small area
I love this small air fryer. We are snowbirds so have a PM for a home in the winter. Not much counter space. This is just perfect. Does not take up much room. Plus the basket is dishwasher safe.

Compact and efficient
This fit's the task, Just two of us and it is easy to use and a breeze to clean. Took some practice as a senior to figure out the touch screen but now it is quite efficient.
