Just Get it! Its worth your money.

Honestly this is the best Air Fryer I have bought. Its a nice size, the noise level is low, easy to use, did not have a new smell, I love the touch screen. DOES NOT BURN food and cooks evenly. Everything taste great! I love it so much! Get it its worth it.

Excellent Choice

I received this air fryer and immediately decided it was too small, I attempted to exchange it for the next bigger size (4.5qt). Ultimately ended up with both sizes and as it turns out the 2.6qt is the only one I use, as I am usually using it for one to two people.It works very well, is very quiet and has nice features. Easy to clean and the viewing window with the light is very helpful for knowing when you're about to have a bigger mess than you want.

Fantastic Air Fryer and huge time saver!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my new air fryer. I've never had one before, and people have been telling me for years that I absolutely have to get one but I was always just like yeah right. Well I finally decided it was time and after a bit of research, I settled on this one. Really happy with my decision.It's super easy to use and the control panel is basically self explanatory. It seems to be of good quality, but I've only been using it for a little over a week now.First thing right off the bat though is the incredible time savings, and the food is absolutely no different than out of the conventional oven, and in some cases it's even better out of the air fryer. When I want to make frozen tenders and fries in my conventional convection oven, it takes at least 15 minutes to preheat, then the tenders take another 24 minutes, for a total of like 40 minutes. Then the fries have to cook on a higher temperature so they take another 20 minutes and I'm looking at almost an hour to make tenders and fries. In the new air fryer, there is no preheating, I put the tenders and fries right in the basket together and cooked them for 13 minutes. Dumped them out on my plate and they were completely hot and crispy chicken tenders and fries that were even better than out of the oven. I saved about 45 minutes. Tonight I wanted a garlic knot with my leftovers, and that would have normally been a 15 minute preheat plus a 6 or 7 minute bake, but for tonight I did it for 5 minutes in the air fryer and it was lighter and crispier and better than out of the oven.Also, I reheated cold pizza in it and it came out hot and crispy in like 6 minutes.Highly recommend this air fryer! Looks really stylish on the counter, and it appears to be of good quality. The price was very reasonable as well. But the absolute biggest benefit from it is the extreme time savings in cooking food and how hot and crispy everything has been.

Best purchase I've made in years!

Best air fryer I've ever had!I had a 6-quart and it was OK, but I often found that the food was crowded or that I had to cook in 2 batches. I chose the nine-quart for extra space between the food, resulting in crispier food, the window in front, and especially that it has an interior light that you can turn on.Also, the controls are in the front, and It only takes 2 more inches widthwise than my 6-quart.It's very easy to clean, and I can fit a small cookie sheet and/or a pie pan in the basket.It's the best purchase I've made in years.

Works beautifully

Easy to use with large capacity. The removable plate in the bottom makes it much easier to clean than my prior fryer. I pop the plate in the dishwasher and just give the basket a quick wash. The light is a great addition. It allows you to monitor the food without having to continuously open it to peek. I wish it came with a recipe book, but that’s minor.

Exceeded my expectations!

Let me begin by saying that I'm a very fit 77-year old senior. I've been contemplating the purchase of an air fryer for more than a year now. I'm not the type of individual that writes reviews, however, I'm so impressed with my new Cuisinart Air Fryer, I decided that I needed to share my enthusiasm. I did a ton of online air fryer research, and settled on the 6-quart Cuisinart Air Fryer based up so many positive reviews and the high quality of the brand name.Right out of the box, I broiled a perfectly cooked, medium rare prime New York steak in 11 minutes! Terrific instructions; easy to use control panel and super easy clean-up. I highly recommend this product!
