    We bought one over a year ago on Amazon and hated it. It wouldn't even cook the food completely. Likely a defective item, I'm sure. What brand did you purchase? I would be interested in trying a different one out!

    Aren't "air fryers" essentially counter top convection ovens?

    I bought a Big Boss air fryer about a month ago and absolutely love it! I've done wings, whole chicken, ribs, mozzarella sticks, you name it. They've all turned out crispy and tasty! Best investment yet!

    Yes, they are a modification on a convection oven - they work on the same principle, but the airflow is a lot higher around the food. The results are pretty good, IMHO - not exactly like deep-frying in oil, but also a lot healthier. I bought it in November and have been pretty happy with it.

    I'll probably be buying an Air Fryer next year when I get my own house. I would like one that cooks food for up to 4 people. Any brand suggestions?

    I wondered this, I have a countertop convection oven which I LOVE, I don't know if an Air Fryer would do anything differently?

    We love our actifry. We cooked perogies and onions in it, potatoes and wings too! It's been awesome for us!

    Bought one a few months ago at bed bath and beyond and I use it pretty regularly. It would never cook enough for 4 people and it does not make food as tasty as a deep fryer. The infomercial are misleading.
    However, it's really good for doing baked chicken breast 10 minutes, reheating pizza, cooking frozen stuff and I have done wings,
    mozzarella sticks, sandwiches in it too. To me it's more like a toaster oven than a fryer. So far I have left it on the counter and not stored it
    away with the other "kitchen gadget" collection.
